（单词翻译）

 But as soon as the first glimpse of sun entered the window, up he got, with stiff and grating joints1, but with a cheerful look; limped towards me where I lay;  阳光透过窗棂，射进了屋里。魁魁格动了！他挣扎着站起来，骨头节嘎吧嘎吧一个劲儿地响，他拐着腿走到床边，一脸的喜悦。

pressed his forehead again against mine; and said his Ramadan was over.  低下头，用他的额贴了贴我的额，告诉我他的斋戒已经完毕。 
Now, as I before hinted, I have no objection to any person's religion, be it what it may, so long as that person does not kill or insult any other person,  我的宗教观念是宽容的，我不反对别人有自己的信仰，前提是那个人也不因为自己的信仰而迫害甚至杀戮有别的信仰的人。
because that other person don't believe it also. But when a man's religion becomes really frantic2; when it is a positive torment3 to him;  现在看来还得加上一条，这个异教徒的信仰不能是疯疯癫癫的异常行为，
and, in fine, makes this earth of ours an uncomfortable inn to lodge4 in; then I think it high time to take that individual aside and argue the point with him.  以至于凡看到这种信仰仪式的人，不得不承受与那信仰人一样的身体的折磨。 
And just so I now did with Queequeg. Queequeg, said I, get into bed now, and lie and listen to me.  我想我要和魁魁格讨论讨论了。 魁魁格，上床吧，我有话对你说。 
I then went on, beginning with the rise and progress of the primitive5 religions, and coming down to the various religions of the present time,  我这样开了头，然后从宗教的起源讲到当代的宗教流派，归纳起来，反复要向他说明的就是，
during which time I labored6 to show Queequeg that all these Lents, Ramadans, and prolonged ham-squattings in cold,  我告诉他，他在别的方面都很出色，只是在这件事上又成了不可救药的野人，实在让我痛心！
cheerless rooms were stark7 nonsense; bad for the health; useless for the soul; opposed, in short, to the obvious laws of Hygiene8 and common sense.  这种坐在冰凉的屋子里的打坐是无比愚蠢的，它违反自然规律，有碍身体健康！
