英語聽書《白鯨記》 第312期

Life was what Captain Ahab and I was thinking of;and how to save all hands how to rig jury-mastshow to get into the nearest port; that was what I wasthinking of.

不,那時節(jié)沒有時間想到死上面去。亞哈船長跟我想的是生;想到怎樣救大家的生命。怎樣裝上那應急的桅桿...怎樣設法駛到最鄰近的港口去;這就是我那時候想的東西。

Bildad said no more, but buttoning up his coat,stalked on deck, where we followed him.

比勒達無話可說了,只是扣上他的上衣,高視闊步地在甲板上走著,我們也跟著他走去。

There he stood, very quietly overlooking some sailmakers who were mending a top-sail in thewaist.

他在甲板上立定了,泰然地俯視著幾個在中甲板補中桅帆的帆工。

Now and then he stooped to pick up a patch, or save an end of tarred twine, which otherwisemight have been wasted.

他時時彎下身子,撿起一塊布片,或者拿起一段涂了柏油的麻線,要不然,這些東西也許會給糟蹋了。
