Moby Dick; Or, The Whale — Page 14
他曾经被一头被自己刺伤的鲸鱼追赶，用一支长矛抵挡了一段时间；然而那头凶猛的巨兽最终还是冲向了小船；他和同伴们只能在眼看冲撞不可避免时跳入水中，才得以保全性命。
Being once pursued by a whale which he had wounded, he parried the assault for some time with a lance; but the furious monster at length rushed on the boat; himself and comrades only being preserved by leaping into the water when they saw the onset was inevitable.
韦伯斯特先生说："南塔基特本身，是国家利益中一个非常引人注目而独特的组成部分。这里生活着八九千人，他们以最大胆、最坚韧不拔的勤劳，每年为国家财富大量增添财富。"
"Nantucket itself," said Mr. Webster, "is a very striking and peculiar portion of the National interest. There is a population of eight or nine thousand persons living here in the sea, adding largely every year to the National wealth by the boldest and most persevering industry."
鲸鱼直接落在他身上，可能当场就将他击毙了。
"The whale fell directly over him, and probably killed him in a moment."
萨缪尔回答道："你要是敢发出一丁点儿声响，我就把你打入地狱。"
"If you make the least damn bit of noise," replied Samuel, "I will send you to hell."
荷兰人和英国人为了尽可能地发现一条穿越北冰洋通往印度的航道而进行的航行，虽然未能实现其主要目标，却揭开了鲸鱼出没之地的神秘面纱。
"The voyages of the Dutch and English to the Northern Ocean, in order, if possible, to discover a passage through it to India, though they failed of their main object, laid-open the haunts of the whale."
