（单词翻译）

 Returning to the Spouter-Inn from the Chapel1, I found Queequeg there quite alone; he having left the Chapel before the benediction2 some time.  我从小教堂回到大鲸客店,看到只有魁魁格一个人在那里;他大概是在祷祝前离开小教堂的。

He was sitting on a bench before the fire, with his feet on the stove hearth3, and in one hand was holding close up to his face that little negro idol4 of his;  他坐在火炉前一只长凳上,双脚搁在炉边,一只手把他那个小黑人偶像紧凑在面前;
peering hard into its face, and with a jack-knife gently whittling5 away at its nose, meanwhile humming to himself in his heathenish way. 一边直瞪着它的脸看,一边用一把小刀轻轻地刮着它的鼻子,嘴里还独自哼着他那异教的歌子。
But being now interrupted, he put up the image; and pretty soon, going to the table, took up a large book there,  但是,我一闯了进去,他就把他的偶像藏起;很快地跑到桌子跟前,在桌上拿起一本大书,
and placing it on his lap began counting the pages with deliberate regularity6; at every fiftieth page-as I fancied-stopping for a moment,  把它放在膝头上,开始从容而有规律地数那些书页;每翻了五十页...我这样想...就停一停,
looking vacantly around him, and giving utterance7 to a long-drawn gurgling whistle of astonishment8.  眼色茫然四下一望,发出一阵曳长的，表示惊异的，咯咯的唿哨声来。
He would then begin again at the next fifty; seeming to commence at number one each time, as though he could not count more than fifty,  接着,他又开始数起第二个五十来;每回都好象是从第一开始,仿佛他是数不来五十以上的数目似的,
and it was only by such a large number of fifties being found together, that his astonishment at the multitude of pages was excited. 而且,只有到了数足五十页这样一个大数目时,才激起他对于浩瀚的页数的惊异。
With much interest I sat watching him. Savage9 though he was, and hideously10 marred11 about the face-at least to my taste 我极感兴趣地坐在那里看着他。尽管他是个野人,满脸怕人的伤疤...至少我喜欢
his countenance12 yet had a something in it which was by no means disagreeable.  可他的相貌还有一种决不令人讨厌的东西。
You cannot hide the soul.  灵魂是无法隐蔽的。
Through all his unearthly tattooings, I thought I saw the traces of a simple honest heart;  我认为,我从他那浑身可怕的刺花中,看到了一个质朴的灵魂的许多痕迹;
and in his large, deep eyes, fiery13 black and bold, there seemed tokens of a spirit that would dare a thousand devils.  在他那双深沉的大眼睛里,那股炯炯的黑光和勇猛的神气,似乎表征出他是一个敢于抵敌无数恶魔的人物。
