As for Bildad, he carried about with him a long list ofthe articles needed, and at every fresh arrival, downwent his mark opposite that article upon the paper.

比勒达和法勒自然也没闲着：比勒达身上带着一个船上需要物的清单，每当一样东西运上船，他都要在清单上相应的位置打个勾儿;

Every once in a while Peleg came hobbling out of hiswhalebone den, roaring at the men down thehatchways, roaring up to the riggers at the mast-head, and then concluded by roaring back into hiswigwam.

法勒则在不停地东游游西看看，看到有什么不顺他的眼的地方，便要咆哮一顿。

During these days of preparation, Queequeg and I often visited the craft, and as often I askedabout Captain Ahab, and how he was, and when he was going to come on board his ship.

我和魁魁格几乎每天都要上船上去一次，问问准备的怎么样了?亚哈船长的健康恢复了吗?他什么时候能上船?我们又什么时候能开船?

To these questions they would answer, that he was getting better and better, and was expectedaboard every day; meantime, the two captains, Peleg and Bildad, could attend to everythingnecessary to fit the vessel for the voyage.

法勒和比勒达每次都说准备的差不多了;亚哈船长已经恢复了健康;随时都可能上船，我们随时也都可能开船。
