Then turning to his crew — "Are ye ready there? place the plank then on the rail, and lift the body; so, then — Oh! God" — advancing towards the hammock with uplifted hands — "may the resurrection and the life-"
接著，他對著他的水手說——"你們都準備好了嘛？那么，把木板擱在欄桿上，把尸體抬起來；唔，好——天呵！"他高舉起雙手，向那吊鋪走去——"但愿超生——"
Brace forward! Up helm! cried Ahab like lightning to his men.
轉(zhuǎn)起帆桁！轉(zhuǎn)舵迎風！亞哈象閃電般對水手叫道。

It was a clear steel-blue day. The firmaments of air and sea were hardly separable in that all-pervading azure; only, the pensive air was transparently pure and soft, with a woman's look, and the robust and man-like sea heaved with long, strong, lingering swells, as Samson's chest in his sleep.
天空晴朗，呈鋼青色。在一片蔚藍中，海空簡直交融在一起；只是那顯得焦慮的天際明朗得又清又滑，象個女人的臉，而那個粗獷、男人也似的海洋，卻不住地起伏，有力而遲緩，象是熟睡的參孫的胸脯。
