英语听书《白鲸记》第995期

（单词翻译）

Then turning to his crew — "Are ye ready there? place the plank¹ then on the rail, and lift the body; so, then — Oh! God" — advancing towards the hammock with uplifted hands — "may the resurrection and the life-"

接着，他对着他的水手说——"你们都准备好了嘛？那么，把木板搁在栏杆上，把尸体抬起来；唔，好——天呵！"他高举起双手，向那吊铺走去——"但愿超生——"

Brace² forward! Up helm! cried Ahab like lightning to his men.

转起帆桁！转舵迎风！亚哈象闪电般对水手叫道。

But the suddenly started Pequod was not quick enough to escape the sound of the splash that the corpse³ soon made as it struck the sea; not so quick, indeed, but that some of the flying bubbles might have sprinkled her hull⁴ with their ghostly baptism.

但是，这艘蓦地驶去的"裴廓德号"，却来不及回避那架尸体落进海里所激起的泼溅声；确实是来不及回避，那些飞沫还可能以它们的鬼魂洗礼式泼在船身上。

As Ahab now glided⁵ from the dejected Delight, the strange life-buoy hanging at the Pequod's stern came into conspicuous⁶ relief.

就在亚哈避开了那艘垂头丧气的"欢喜号"的时候，那只挂在"裴廓德号"船梢的奇特救生圈，越来越叫人看得清晰了。

Ha! yonder! look yonder, men! cried a foreboding voice in her wake. "In vain, oh, ye strangers, ye fly our sad burial; ye but turn us your taffrail to show us your coffin⁷!"

哈哈！那边，看那边！你们大家！"裴廓德号的后边传来了一声预言的叫喊。"枉费的，你们这些陌生人呵，你们避开了我们的悲伤的葬礼；可是，一转屁股，却让我们看到你们的棺材啦！"

Chapter 132 The Symphony

第一百三十二章 交响乐

It was a clear steel-blue day. The firmaments of air and sea were hardly separable in that all-pervading azure⁸; only, the pensive⁹ air was transparently¹⁰ pure and soft, with a woman's look, and the robust¹¹ and man-like sea heaved with long, strong, lingering swells¹², as Samson's chest in his sleep.

天空晴朗，呈钢青色。在一片蔚蓝中，海空简直交融在一起；只是那显得焦虑的天际明朗得又清又滑，象个女人的脸，而那个粗犷、男人也似的海洋，却不住地起伏，有力而迟缓，象是熟睡的参孙的胸脯。
