英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)書(shū)《白鯨記》第834期

I see nothing here, but a round thing made of gold, and whoever raises a certain whale, this round thing belongs to him. So, what's all this staring been about? It is worth sixteen dollars, that's true; and at two cents the cigar, that's nine hundred and sixty cigars. I won't smoke dirty pipes like Stubb, but I like cigars, and here's nine hundred and sixty of them; so here goes Flask aloft to spy 'em out.

我什么也看不見(jiàn)，只看見(jiàn)一只金子做成的圓圓的東西，誰(shuí)能發(fā)現(xiàn)某一條鯨，這個(gè)圓東西就歸誰(shuí)。所以，這有什么多看頭呀？不錯(cuò)，它值十六塊錢；二分錢一根雪茄煙，這就可買九百六十根雪茄啦（按二分錢一根雪茄計(jì)算，十六塊錢應(yīng)該可買八百支雪茄，這里系作者計(jì)算錯(cuò)了。）。我決不象斯塔布那樣吸腌臜的煙斗，我可喜歡雪茄，這里有九百六十支雪茄；我弗拉斯克就從這里爬到上邊去把大鯨給找出來(lái)吧。

Shall I call that Wise or foolish, now; if it be really wise it has a foolish look to it; yet, if it be really foolish, then has it a sort of wiseish look to it. But, avast; here comes our old Manxman—the old hearse-driver, he must have been, that is, before he took to the sea. He luffs up before the doubloon; halloa, and goes round on the other side of the mast; why, there's a horse-shoe nailed on that side; and now he's back again; what does that mean? Hark! he's muttering— voice like an old worn-out coffee-mill. Prick ears, and listen!

那么，這樣做法該算聰明還是愚蠢呢；算它真是聰明，卻又象是愚蠢；然而，算它真是愚蠢，卻又有點(diǎn)兒聰明。不過(guò)，且慢，那個(gè)人島老頭來(lái)了——這個(gè)趕靈車的老家伙，在他下海前，一定是干過(guò)這營(yíng)生的。他讓風(fēng)吹到那塊金幣跟前了；啊，又從桅邊那頭兜過(guò)去了；哼，那邊正釘著一塊馬蹄鐵呢；可是，他又回來(lái)了；這又是什么道理呢？聽(tīng)著！他在嘟噥著呢——聲音活象一架破舊的研咖啡機(jī)。豎起耳朵來(lái)聽(tīng)吧！

If the White Whale be raised, it must be in a month and a day, when the sun stands in some one of these signs. I've studied signs, and know their marks; they were taught me two score years ago, by the old witch in Copenhagen.

如果會(huì)找到那條白鯨的話，還得一個(gè)月零一天，就是當(dāng)太陽(yáng)走到這些宮宿的一個(gè)宮宿里的時(shí)候。我專門(mén)研究過(guò)宮宿，懂得它們的記號(hào)，這是四十年前哥本哈根（哥本哈根——丹麥?zhǔn)锥?。）的一個(gè)老巫婆教我的。
