Who art thou, boy?
你是誰呀，孩子？
Bell-boy, sir; ship's-crier; ding, dong, ding! Pip! Pip! Pip! One hundred pounds of clay reward for Pip; five feet high — looks cowardly — quickest known by that! Ding, dong, ding! Who's seen Pip the coward?
我是鐘僮，先生；是船上的號丁；叮，咚，叮！比普！比普！比普！比普生來體重一百磅；五英尺高——樣子就是膽怯怯的——一看就看得出！叮，咚，叮！誰個見過比普這膽小鬼來著？
There can be no hearts above the snow-line. Oh, ye frozen heavens! look down here. Ye did beget this luckless child, and have abandoned him, ye creative libertines. Here, boy; Ahab's cabin shall be Pip's home henceforth, while Ahab lives. Thou touchest my inmost centre, boy; thou art tied to me by cords woven of my heart-strings. Come, let's down.
在雪線上邊的，是不會有善心人的。你這凍卻了的上天呵！你低下頭來瞧一瞧吧。你生下了這個倒霉的孩子，又把他拋棄了，你這造物的浪子呀。過來，伙計，從今以后，只要亞哈活著，亞哈的艙室就是比普的家。你打動了我的心坎，孩子；你讓我的心弦織成的繩索跟我緊綁在一起了。來，來，咱們下去吧。
What's this? here's velvet shark-skin, intently gazing at Ahab's hand, and feeling it. "Ah, now, had poor Pip but felt so kind a thing as this, perhaps he had ne'er been lost! This seems to me, sir, as a man-rope; something that weak souls may hold by. Oh, sir, let old Perth now come and rivet these two hands together; the black one with the white, for I will not let this go."
這是什么？這是絲絨似的鯊魚皮呀，他凝神諦視著亞哈的手，摩挲著它。"呀，呀，如果早讓可憐的比普摸到這樣柔滑的東西，也許他永遠也不會走失！這東西呀，我覺得好象是根舷門索，先生；這是那些膽小的家伙可以拉牢的東西。呵，先生，現在就找柏斯老頭來吧，叫他把這兩只手給釘在一起；一只黑手跟一只白手釘在一起，因為我不愿意放掉這只手。"
Oh, boy, nor will I thee, unless I should thereby drag thee to worse horrors than are here. Come, then, to my cabin.
呵，孩子，我也不愿意放掉你那只手，除非是我把你拖到比現在更叫人害怕的地方去。來吧，那么，到我艙室里去。
