英語聽書《白鯨記》 第66期

What do you mean, sir? Was the other one lost by awhale?

什么?鯨魚吃了他的另一條腿?

Lost by a whale! Young man, come nearer to me:itwas devoured, chewed up, crunched by themonstrousest parmacetty that ever chipped aboat!ah, ah!

是的，抹香鯨把他的一條腿吃了!

I was a little alarmed by his energy, perhaps also alittle touched at the hearty grief in his concluding exclamation, but said as calmly as I could,What you say is no doubt true enough, sir; but how could I know there was any peculiarferocity in that particular whale, though indeed I might have inferred as much from thesimple fact of the accident.

我?guī)缀醣凰袆?，他的聲音中有一種抑制不住的悲涼。我定了定神，你說的毫無疑問,先生,但我怎么能知道有任何特殊的兇猛,特別的鯨魚,盡管事實上我可能會從一個簡單事故中推斷。

Look ye now, young man, thy lungs are a sort of soft, d'ye see; thou dost not talk shark a bit.SURE, ye've been to sea before now; sure of that?

小伙子，你盡管還嫩，但畢竟沒冒充內(nèi)行。你說你出過海……

Sir, said I, I thought I told you that I had been four voyages in the merchant.

先生，我出過四趟海了…

Hard down out of that! Mind what I said about the marchant service,don't aggravate me,Iwon't have it.

住嘴，別提你那讓人討厭的商船，我可不愛聽!

But let us understand each other. I have given thee a hint about what whaling is; do ye yetfeel inclined for it?

你還想干這可能丟了腿丟了命的捕鯨嗎?
