（单词翻译）
In vain the captain threatened to throw him overboard; suspended a cutlass over his naked wrists; Queequeg was the son of a King, and Queequeg budged1 not. 船长徒劳地吓唬着要把他抛进海里;还在他那赤裸裸的肘腕上架了一柄弯刀;可是,魁魁格是国王的儿子,魁魁格一点也不为所动。
Struck by his desperate dauntlessness, and his wild desire to visit Christendom, the captain at last relented, and told him he might make himself at home. 那个船长被他这种奋不顾身的骁勇,被他那份要到文明人的国度去的热望感动了,终于发了慈悲心,对他说,他可以安心留下来。
But this fine young savage-this sea Prince of Wales, never saw the Captain's cabin. 但是,这个漂亮的青年野人...这个海上的威尔斯王子却从来没有见到船长的舱室。
They put him down among the sailors, and made a whaleman of him. 他们把他安置在水手中,使他成为一个捕鲸者。
But like Czar Peter content to
toil2 in the shipyards of foreign cities, Queequeg
disdained3 no seeming ignominy, 不过,魁魁格象沙皇彼得情愿到国外的造船厂去做苦工一样,他毫不蔑视这种不体面的事情,
if
thereby4 he might happily gain the power of enlightening his untutored countrymen. 他只希望能够愉快地获得启发他那些未受教育的同胞的力量。
For at bottom-so he told me-he was actuated by a profound desire to learn among the
Christians5, the arts whereby to make his people still happier than they were; 因为在他内心里...他这样跟我说...他为一个深切的愿望所驱使,想在文明人中间学得一些技艺,借此使他的同胞过得比原来更幸福,
and more than that, still better than they were. 不仅如此,要过得比原来更好.
