It was given him--neither twine nor lanyard were seen again; but the next night an iron ball, closely netted, partly rolled from the pocket of the Lakeman's monkey jacket, as he was tucking the coat into his hammock for a pillow. Twenty-four hours after, his trick at the silent helm--nigh to the man who was apt to doze over the grave always ready dug to the seaman's hand--that fatal hour was then to come; and in the fore-ordaining soul of Steelkilt, the mate was already stark and stretched as a corpse, with his forehead crushed in.

他拿到他要的麻線——可是后來什么麻線、索帶都再也看不到了。隔天晚上，湖上人把上衣塞在吊鋪上當(dāng)枕頭的時(shí)候，他的上衣口袋里，卻半露出一只編扎得十分牢靠。像只鐵球似的東西來。二十四小時(shí)后，他就悄悄的在值掌舵的班——旁邊，正是那個(gè)注定要打盹打到這個(gè)水手時(shí)刻準(zhǔn)備為他挖掘的墳?zāi)估锶サ娜?mdash;—他的致命的時(shí)刻就要到來了；而在斯蒂爾基爾特的預(yù)先安排的心底里，這個(gè)大副應(yīng)是早已砸碎額頭，僵挺得像一具死尸了。

But, gentlemen, a fool saved the would-be murderer from the bloody deed he had planned. Yet complete revenge he had, and without being the avenger. For by a mysterious fatality, Heaven itself seemed to step in to take out of his hands into its own the damning thing he would have done.

不過，諸位先生，一個(gè)笨蛋卻把這個(gè)謀殺未遂犯從他所計(jì)劃周全的惡行中搭救出來了。他仍然把仇全報(bào)了，卻不是他親手干的。因?yàn)?，由于一種神秘的天意，上天似乎親自出場干涉，把這個(gè)報(bào)仇者所要做的惡事，從他手里奪了過去，由上天自己親手來做。

It was just between daybreak and sunrise of the morning of the second day, when they were washing down the decks, that a stupid Teneriffe man, drawing water in the main-chains, all at once shouted out, There she rolls! there she rolls! Jesu, what a whale! It was Moby Dick.

第二天早晨，就在拂曉到日出之間，大家正在沖洗甲板的時(shí)候，那個(gè)在水里拉大鏈的騰涅立夫(騰涅立夫——非洲北部的加拿利群島中一個(gè)最大的島名。)笨蛋突然一下子高聲大叫起來，它在那兒翻動啦！它在翻動啦！天啊，多大的一條鯨呀！原來就是莫比－迪克。

Moby Dick! Cried Don Sebastian; St. Dominic! Sir sailor, but do whales have christenings? Whom call you Moby Dick?

莫比－迪克！塞瓦斯蒂安先生叫了出來；天呀！不過，水手先生，鯨也得命名嗎？你叫的莫比－迪克是誰呀？
