What do you mean, sir? Was the other one lost by a whale?
什么？鯨魚吃了他的另一條腿？
Lost by a whale! Young man, come nearer to me:it was devoured, chewed up, crunched by the monstrousest parmacetty that ever chipped a boat!ah, ah!
是的，抹香鯨把他的一條腿吃了！
I was a little alarmed by his energy, perhaps also a little 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 peculiar ferocity in that particular whale, though indeed I might have inferred as much from the simple fact of the accident.
我?guī)缀醣凰袆?dòng)，他的聲音中有一種抑制不住的悲涼。我定了定神，你說(shuō)的毫無(wú)疑問(wèn),先生,但我怎么能知道有任何特殊的兇猛,特別的鯨魚,盡管事實(shí)上我可能會(huì)從一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單事故中推斷。
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，你盡管還嫩，但畢竟沒(méi)冒充內(nèi)行。你說(shuō)你出過(guò)海……
Sir, said I, I thought I told you that I had been four voyages in the merchant.
先生，我出過(guò)四趟海了…
Hard down out of that! Mind what I said about the marchant service,don't aggravate me,I won't have it.
住嘴，別提你那讓人討厭的商船，我可不愛(ài)聽！
But let us understand each other. I have given thee a hint about what whaling is; do ye yet feel inclined for it?
你還想干這可能丟了腿丟了命的捕鯨嗎？
