Moby Dick; Or, The Whale — Page 15
「这些事物是相互的；球反弹，只是为了再次向前跳跃；因为现在在揭开鲸鱼出没之处时，捕鲸人似乎间接地发现了通往那神秘西北航道的新线索。」——摘自某未发表作品
"These things are reciprocal; the ball rebounds, only to bound forward again; for now in laying open the haunts of the whale, the whalemen seem to have indirectly hit upon new clews to that same mystic North-West Passage." —From "Something" unpublished.
「在海洋上遇见一艘捕鲸船，不可能不被她近处的外观所震撼。那艘船张着少量风帆，桅杆顶上有了望员，急切地扫视着四周广阔的海面，与那些从事普通航行的船只相比，气象截然不同。」——《洋流与捕鲸》美国探险队
"It is impossible to meet a whale-ship on the ocean without being struck by her near appearance. The vessel under short sail, with look-outs at the mast-heads, eagerly scanning the wide expanse around them, has a totally different air from those engaged in regular voyage." —Currents and Whaling. U.S. Ex. Ex.
「伦敦附近及其他地方的行人，也许还记得曾见过竖立在地上的巨大弯曲骨骼，或用来在门道上方形成拱门，或用作壁龛的入口，他们或许曾被告知那些是鲸鱼的肋骨。」——《北冰洋捕鲸航行者的故事》
"Pedestrians in the vicinity of London and elsewhere may recollect having seen large curved bones set upright in the earth, either to form arches over gateways, or entrances to alcoves, and they may perhaps have been told that these were the ribs of whales." —Tales of a Whale Voyager to the Arctic Ocean.
「直到船只返回追捕这些鲸鱼的小艇后，白人们才看见他们的船已被编入船员中的野蛮人血腥占领。」——《捕鲸船霍博马克号被夺及夺回事件》报纸报道
"It was not till the boats returned from the pursuit of these whales, that the whites saw their ship in bloody possession of the savages enrolled among the crew." —Newspaper Account of the Taking and Retaking of the Whale-Ship Hobomack.
「众所周知，在（美国）捕鲸船的船员中，很少有人乘坐他们出发时所在的船返回。」——《捕鲸船上的航行》
"It is generally well known that out of the crews of Whaling vessels (American) few ever return in the ships on board of which they departed." —Cruise in a Whale Boat.
「突然，一个巨大的庞然大物从水中升起，垂直射入空中。那就是鲸鱼。」——《米里亚姆·科芬，或捕鲸渔夫》
"Suddenly a mighty mass emerged from the water, and shot up perpendicularly into the air. It was the whale." —Miriam Coffin or the Whale Fisherman.
