（单词翻译）
In tempestuous1 times like these, after everything above and aloft has been secured, nothing more can be done but passively to await the issue of the gale2. 在这样大风暴的时分，甲板和桅顶等上上下下的事情都已安排停当，除了消极地等待风息以外，是再也没有什么事情可做了。
Then Captain and crew become practical fatalists. 于是，船长和水手们实际上都变成了宿命论者。
So, with his ivory leg inserted into its accustomed hole, and with one hand firmly grasping a
shroud3, Ahab for hours and hours would stand gazing dead to windward, 亚哈把他的牙腿插在那原来的镟孔里，一只手紧抓着护桅索，便这样一个钟头过一个钟头地站在那里，死瞪着上风，
while an occasional squall of
sleet4 or snow would all but
congeal5 his very eyelashes together. 不时刮起的一阵夹着雪雹的大风，把他的眼睫毛也给凝在一起。
Meantime, the crew driven from the forward part of the ship by the
perilous6 seas that burstingly broke over its bows, stood in a line along the
bulwarks7 in the waist; 这时，从船头上突然冲来一阵险恶的浪潮，把那些水手都冲得顺着船腰的舷墙边的栏索站住了。
and the better to guard against the leaping waves, 为了抵挡那翻腾的浪涛，
each man had slipped himself into a sort of bowline secured to the rail, in which he swung as in a loosened belt. 每人都套上一根绑在栏杆上的帆脚索，大家就拴着绳索，晃来倒去，象是腰带松了那般。
Few or no words were spoken; and the silent ship, as if manned by painted sailors in wax, 大家都很少甚至没有说话；这艘静悄悄的船，好象由一些蜡塑的水手掌握着，
day after day tore on through all the swift madness and gladness of the demoniac waves. 一天过一天地冲过那又发狂又高兴的着魔似的雄涛前进。
By night the same muteness of humanity before the
shrieks8 of the ocean prevailed; 到了夜里，在怒号的海洋面前，仍然是阒无人声，
still in silence the men swung in the bowlines; still wordless Ahab stood up to the blast. 拴着帆脚索摇来晃去的人仍然是不声不响，亚哈还是一言不发地顶着暴风站在那里。
Even when wearied nature seemed demanding
repose9 he would not seek that repose in his hammock. 甚至到了疲劳的体力似乎在要求休息的时候，他还是不到吊铺上去找寻那种休息。
