Ahab staggered; his hand smote his forehead. "I grow blind; hands! stretch out before me that I may yet grope my way. Is't night?"
亞哈蹣跚不定了；他手敲著額頭。"我瞎啦；喂！把你們的手擱在我的前面，也許我還可以摸索著走。是晚上了嗎？"
The whale! The ship! cried the cringing oarsmen.
大鯨！小船呀！那些畏畏縮縮的槳手嚷著說。
Oars! oars! Slope downwards to thy depths, O sea that ere it be for ever too late, Ahab may slide this last, last time upon his mark! I see: the ship! the ship! Dash on, my men! Will ye not save my ship?
劃呀！劃呀！到海底里去逃命吧，海呀，否則就悔之莫及啦，亞哈還可以最后一次偷偷地溜到它那水標上去！啊，大船！大船！沖呀，大伙兒！難道你們不救救我的船嘛？
But as the oarsmen violently forced their boat through the sledge-hammering seas, the before whale-smitten bow-ends of two planks burst through, and in an instant almost, the temporarily disabled boat lay nearly level with the waves; its half-wading, splashing crew, trying hard to stop the gap and bale out the pouring water.
可是，當槳手們拚命強使小艇沖過那大鐵錘似的浪濤時，剛被大鯨咬過的兩塊船頭板卻豁開了，一下子這只暫時動彈不得的小艇差不多就給擱在浪峰上；艇里那些半身陷在唏里嘩啦的水里的水手，死勁堵住裂口，把滔滔灌進來的海水給舀出去。
Meantime, for that one beholding instant, Tashtego's mast-head hammer remained suspended in his hand; and the red flag, half-wrapping him as with a plaid, then streamed itself straight out from him, as his own forward-flowing heart; while Starbuck and Stubb, standing upon the bowsprit beneath, caught sight of the down-coming monster just as soon as he.
這時，還可以一下子看到塔斯蒂哥那把要在桅頂釘旗子的錘子依然捏在手里；那面紅旗有一半裹著他的身子，像穿著一件格子呢衣，可是，一眨眼工夫，那面旗子就從他身上飄了出去，好像他自己那顆向前漂去的心也漂了出去似的，斯達巴克和斯塔布站在第一斜桅下面，頓時看到了那只由下邊沖上來的巨獸。
