Lost by a whale! Young man, come nearer to me:itwas devoured, chewed up, crunched by themonstrousest parmacetty that ever chipped aboat!ah, ah!
是的,抹香鯨把他的一條腿吃了!
I was a little alarmed by his energy, perhaps also alittle touched at the hearty grief in his concludingexclamation, but said as calmly as I could, Whatyou say is no doubt true enough, sir; but how could I know there was any peculiar ferocity inthat particular whale, though indeed I might have inferred as much from the simple fact ofthe accident.
我?guī)缀醣凰袆?dòng),他的聲音中有一種抑制不住的悲涼。我定了定神,你說(shuō)的毫無(wú)疑問(wèn),先生,但我怎么能知道有任何特殊的兇猛,特別的鯨魚(yú),盡管事實(shí)上我可能會(huì)從一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單事故中推斷。
Look ye now, young man, thy lungs are a sort of soft, d'ye see; thou dost not talk shark a bit.SURE, ye've been to sea before now; sure of that?
小伙子,你盡管還嫩,但畢竟沒(méi)冒充內(nèi)行。你說(shuō)你出過(guò)海……

你還想干這可能丟了腿丟了命的捕鯨嗎?
