英語聽書《白鯨記》第81期

I know, too, that ever since he lost his leg lastvoyage by that accursed whale, he's been a kind ofmoody—desperate moody, and savage sometimes;

自從上次被鯨魚咬掉了一條腿以后;他情緒就一直不太好，這是完全可以理解的。

but that will all pass off. And once for all, let me tellthee and assure thee, young man, it's better to sailwith a moody good captain than a laughing bad one.

小伙子，跟一個嘻皮笑臉的壞船長出海，還是跟一個郁郁寡歡的好船長出海?

So good-bye to thee—and wrong not Captain Ahab, because he happens to have a wickedname.

我相信，你會有明智的選擇的。 你不能誤解這位只是有一個邪惡的名字的好船長。

Besides, my boy, he has a wife—not three voyages wedded—a sweet, resigned girl.

他還有一位好妻子呢，結(jié)婚還不到三個航程呢!

Think of that; by that sweet girl that old man has a child: hold ye then there can be any utter,hopeless harm in Ahab?

那可是個好姑娘，還給他生了孩子呢!

No, no, my lad; stricken, blasted, if he be, Ahab has his humanities!

怎么樣，對于亞哈船長你有所了解了吧?

As I walked away, I was full of thoughtfulness; what had been incidentally revealed to me ofCaptain Ahab, filled me with a certain wild vagueness of painfulness concerning him.

我默默地走了。 這個缺了一條腿的船長，讓我心中有了幾分憐憫之情，不過很快憐憫就被敬畏趕走了，這種敬畏我無法準(zhǔn)確地描繪，但可以肯定的是它不是真正的敬畏。
