There he stood, very quietly overlooking some sailmakers who were mending a top-sail in the waist.
比勒達顯然一時不知該說什么好了，他系上上衣的扣子，在甲板上來回地走著，偶爾停注，若無其事地盯著在中甲板上補帆的幾個帆工，
Now and then he stooped to pick up a patch, or save an end of tarred twine, which otherwise might have been wasted.
看上一會兒，再低下頭撿起一塊碎布片兒或者一截斷繩頭之類的東西。
Shipmates, have ye shipped in that ship?
哈，船友，你們當上那只船的水手啦？
Queequeg and I had just left the Pequod, and were sauntering away from the water, for the moment each occupied with his own thoughts,
就在我和魁魁格離開裴廓德號，走上碼頭時，

我停下腳步，注意地看了一下這個人：他穿得很臟，一手指著裴廓德號的方向。
A confluent small-pox had in all directions flowed over his face, and left it like the complicated ribbed bed of a torrent, when the rushing waters have been dried up.
我爭取著時間，又注意地觀察了一下他綴滿了補丁的褲子和脖子上黑布似的白圍脖，以及他臉上那像洶涌的波浪般的天花。
