英語聽書《白鯨記》 第164期

The Cape of Good Hope, and all the watery regionround about there, is much like some noted fourcorners of a great highway,

海上的航線就和陸地上的公路一樣，也有很多交叉的地方，

where you meet more travellers than in any otherpart.

也就是岔口，我們剛剛經(jīng)過的好望角就是其中之一。

It was not very long after speaking the Goney thatanother homeward-bound whaleman, the Town-Ho,was encountered.

這些路口是交通要道，所以最容易碰上別的船。

She was manned almost wholly by Polynesians. In the short gam that ensued she gave usstrong news of Moby Dick.

我們的“裴廓德號(hào)”在剛剛碰上“信天翁號(hào)”不久，又碰上了另一只正在歸途之中的捕鯨船。

To some the general interest in the White Whale was now wildly heightened by a circumstanceof the Town-Ho's story,

那只船有一個(gè)很有意思的名字，叫“大鯨出來了號(hào)”。

which seemed obscurely to involve with the whale a certain wondrous, inverted visitation ofone of those so called judgments of God which at times are said to overtake some men.

這“大鯨出來了”本是早先的一些捕鯨船桅頂?shù)牟t望手在看到大鯨之后的一聲叫喊，現(xiàn)在不知怎么的成了這條捕鯨船的船名。
