什么?鲸鱼吃了他的另一条腿?
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，抹香鲸把他的一条腿吃了!
I was a little alarmed by his energy, perhaps also alittle touched at the hearty grief in his concluding exclamation, but said as calmly as I could,What you say is no doubt true enough, sir; but how could I know there was any peculiarferocity in that particular whale, though indeed I might have inferred as much from thesimple fact of the accident.
我几乎被他感动，他的声音中有一种抑制不住的悲凉。我定了定神，你说的毫无疑问,先生,但我怎么能知道有任何特殊的凶猛,特别的鲸鱼,尽管事实上我可能会从一个简单事故中推断。
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，你尽管还嫩，但毕竟没冒充内行。你说你出过海……
Sir, said I, I thought I told you that I had been four voyages in the merchant.
先生，我出过四趟海了…
Hard down out of that! Mind what I said about the marchant service,don't aggravate me,Iwon't have it.
住嘴，别提你那让人讨厌的商船，我可不爱听!
But let us understand each other. I have given thee a hint about what whaling is; do ye yetfeel inclined for it?
你还想干这可能丢了腿丢了命的捕鲸吗?
