But, mastering his emotion, he half calmly rose, and as he quitted the cabin, paused for an instant and said: "Thou hast outraged, not insulted me, Sir; but for that I ask thee not to beware of Starbuck; thou wouldst but laugh; but let Ahab beware of Ahab; beware of thyself, old man."
但是，他控制著自己的情緒，相當(dāng)泰然地起身走了，不過(guò)，他離開船長(zhǎng)室時(shí)，又停了一停，說(shuō)道："你剛才不光是侮辱我，而且是對(duì)我施暴行，先生，不過(guò)，我請(qǐng)你不必提防斯達(dá)巴克；你只消一笑置之得啦；可是，請(qǐng)亞哈當(dāng)心亞哈，當(dāng)心你自己吧，老人室。"
He waxes brave, but nevertheless obeys; most careful bravery that! murmured Ahab, as Starbuck disappeared. "What's that he said—Ahab beware of Ahab—there's something there!" Then unconsciously using the musket for a staff, with an iron brow he paced to and fro in the little cabin; but presently the thick plaits of his forehead relaxed, and returning the gun to the rack, he went to the deck.
他變得勇敢起來(lái)了，不過(guò)，還算聽命令；這才是有謀之勇！斯達(dá)巴克一走，亞哈喃喃道。"他剛才說(shuō)些什么——亞哈當(dāng)心亞哈——其中一定有文章！"于是，他不知不覺(jué)地竟把那支滑膛槍當(dāng)拐棍撐著，面色鐵青，在那個(gè)小艙室里踱來(lái)踱去；可是，他前額的密集的皺紋立刻又平服了，他把槍放回網(wǎng)架上，走上甲板。
Thou art but too good a fellow, Starbuck, he said lowly to the mate; then raising his voice to the crew: "Furl the t'gallant-sails, and close-reef the top-sails, fore and aft; back the main-yard; up Burtons, and break out in the main-hold."
你真是個(gè)太好的人，斯達(dá)巴克，他低聲下氣地對(duì)那個(gè)大副說(shuō)后，就提高嗓門對(duì)水手們?nèi)碌溃?quot;把上桅帆卷起來(lái)，把前前后后的中桅帆都收緊；裝上大桅下桁，吊起復(fù)滑車，把主艙打開來(lái)。"（這番命令的意思就是："把各種帆都收起來(lái)，動(dòng)手把船艙里的油桶吊起來(lái)。"）
It were perhaps vain to surmise exactly why it was, that as respecting Starbuck, Ahab thus acted.
亞哈究竟為什么要這般做法，斯達(dá)巴克也許是無(wú)從猜測(cè)的。
