(单词翻译)

 In like manner, the Greenland whalers sailing out of Hull1 or London, put in at the Shetland Islands, to receive the full complement2 of their crew.  同样地,格陵兰的捕鲸船也从赫尔或者伦敦驶出来,开进设得兰群岛去招收他们的全部水手。

Upon the passage homewards, they drop them there again. How it is, there is no telling, but Islanders seem to make the best whalemen.  等到回航的时候,又再把他们卸在原地。究竟是怎么一回事,那可说不上来,不过,岛民似乎生来都是最优秀的捕鲸者。
They were nearly all Islanders in the Pequod, Isolatoes too, I call such, not acknowledging the common continent of men, but each Isolato living on a separate continent of his own.  "裴廓德号"上的水手,就几乎全是岛民,也是一些与世隔绝的人,我之所以这样称法,并不是泛指一般的陆地人,而是指各有一个小天地的与世隔绝者。
Yet now, federated along one keel, what a set these Isolatoes were!  不过现在是,大家都同在一条船上相依为命,还成什么与世隔绝者呢!
An Anacharsis Clootz deputation from all the isles3 of the sea, and all the ends of the earth, accompanying Old Ahab in the Pequod to lay the world's grievances4 before that bar from which not very many of them ever come back.  一个从天涯海角各岛各屿汇合拢来的安纳萨西。克罗茨的代表团陪着"裴廓德号"的亚哈老头,想把人间的牢骚诉诸那个庭上。可是,能够从那个法庭生还的却为数寥寥。比普这黑小子呀...
Black Little Pip--e never did--oh, no! he went before. Poor Alabama boy!  他从来就没有回来过...啊,不,他以前去过了。可怜的亚拉巴马。孩子呀!
On the grim Pequod's forecastle, ye shall ere long see him, beating his tambourine5;  在"裴廓德号"那不祥的船头楼上,你们不久就将看到他敲着他的小手鼓,弹出永恒的时间前奏曲。
prelusive of the eternal time, when sent for, to the great quarter-deck on high, he was bid strike in with angels, and beat his tambourine in glory; called a coward here, hailed a hero there! 当他被派到高高的后甲板去的时候,人家吩咐他响亮地敲起小手鼓,他便有如天使附体一般大敲特敲,一会儿叫懦夫壮起胆来,一会儿又向英雄致敬。
