Here, our old sailors say, in their black seventy-fours great admirals sometimes sit at table, and lord it over rows of captains and lieutenants. Ha! what's this? epaulets! epaulets! the epaulets all come crowding. Pass round the decanters; glad to see ye; fill up, monsieurs! What an odd feeling, now, when a black boy's host to white men with gold lace upon their coats! — Monsieurs, have ye seen one Pip? — a little negro lad, five feet high, hang-dog look, and cowardly! Jumped from a whale-boat once; — seen him? No! Well then, fill up again, captains, and let's drink shame upon all cowards! I name no names. Shame upon them! Put one foot upon the table. Shame upon all cowards. — Hist! above there, I hear ivory — Oh, master! master! I am indeed down-hearted when you walk over me. But here I'll stay, though this stern strikes rocks; and they bulge through; and oysters come to join me.

這地方，我們老水手說，在他們那怕人的七十四門大炮的兵艦上，桌子邊時常坐著不少的大將，管轄著無數(shù)的大小官員呢。哈！這是什么東西？肩章！肩章，擠滿著一大群戴肩章的人。把酒瓶遞過去吧；歡迎歡迎；篩滿吧，先生們！唔，這可多奇妙呀，竟然會有一個黑小子作東，宴請那些上衣鑲著金邊的白種人！——先生們，你們可看到過一個叫做比普的人嘛？——是個黑小子，五英尺高，臉相很下賤，而且是個膽小鬼！曾經(jīng)打一只捕鯨小艇跳進了海里；——可看到過他？沒有！那么，再篩滿吧，長官們，讓我們?yōu)橐磺心懶」淼膩G臉而干杯吧！我不指名道姓。他們真丟臉！把一條腿擱在桌子上。所有的膽小鬼都不要臉——。噓！在這上邊，我聽到牙腿的聲音嘍——主人??！主人！你在我頭頂走來走去，可真叫我不舒服呵。可是，即使船梢觸了礁，我還是要留在這里；暗礁沖穿了船底，牡蠣就會來同我作伴。

Chapter 130 The Hat

第一百三十章 帽子

And now that at the proper time and place, after so long and wide a preliminary cruise, Ahab, — all other whaling waters swept — seemed to have chased his foe into an oceanfold, to slay him the more securely there;

且說經(jīng)過了時間這么長，地方這么多的預巡，駛遍了所有其它許多捕鯨海域后，亞哈覺得，這會兒，已是時地相宜，可以把它的敵人迫進海洋的一只欄柵里，可以更有把握地在那地方把它宰了。
