英語聽書《白鯨記》 第92期

But as soon as the first glimpse of sun entered thewindow, up he got, with stiff and grating joints, butwith a cheerful look; limped towards me where Ilay;

陽光透過窗欞，射進了屋里?？駝恿?他掙扎著站起來，骨頭節(jié)嘎吧嘎吧一個勁兒地響，他拐著腿走到床邊，一臉的喜悅。

pressed his forehead again against mine; and saidhis Ramadan was over.

低下頭，用他的額貼了貼我的額，告訴我他的齋戒已經(jīng)完畢。

Now, as I before hinted, I have no objection to any person's religion, be it what it may, so longas that person does not kill or insult any other person,

我的宗教觀念是寬容的，我不反對別人有自己的信仰，前提是那個人也不因為自己的信仰而迫害甚至殺戮有別的信仰的人。

because that other person don't believe it also. But when a man's religion becomes reallyfrantic; when it is a positive torment to him;

現(xiàn)在看來還得加上一條，這個異教徒的信仰不能是瘋瘋癲癲的異常行為，

and, in fine, makes this earth of ours an uncomfortable inn to lodge in; then I think it hightime to take that individual aside and argue the point with him.

以至于凡看到這種信仰儀式的人，不得不承受與那信仰人一樣的身體的折磨。

And just so I now did with Queequeg. Queequeg, said I, get into bed now, and lie and listen tome.

我想我要和魁魁格討論討論了。 “魁魁格，上床吧，我有話對你說。

I then went on, beginning with the rise and progress of the primitive religions, and comingdown to the various religions of the present time,

我這樣開了頭，然后從宗教的起源講到當代的宗教流派，歸納起來，反復(fù)要向他說明的就是，

during which time I labored to show Queequeg that all these Lents, Ramadans, and prolongedham-squattings in cold,

我告訴他，他在別的方面都很出色，只是在這件事上又成了不可救藥的野人，實在讓我痛心!

cheerless rooms were stark nonsense; bad for the health; useless for the soul; opposed, inshort, to the obvious laws of Hygiene and common sense.

這種坐在冰涼的屋子里的打坐是無比愚蠢的，它違反自然規(guī)律，有礙身體健康!
