Chapter 81 The Pequod Meets The Virgin
第八十一章"裴廓德號"遇到"處女號"
The predestinated day arrived, and we duly met the ship Jungfrau, Derick De Deer, master, of Bremen.
命定的日子到來了，我們及時遇到了"處女號"（處女——原文為德文Jungfrau。），它的船長德立克·德·第爾，是個不來梅（不來梅——德國一個城市，在漢堡南面。）人。
At one time the greatest whaling people in the world, the Dutch and Germans are now among the least; but here and there at very wide intervals of latitude and longitude, you still occasionally meet with their flag in the Pacific.
曾經是世界上最偉大的捕鯨民族的荷蘭人和德國人，如今已是默默無聞了，不過，每隔很長一段時間，還能偶爾在太平洋上看到他們的國旗。
For some reason, the Jungfrau seemed quite eager to pay her respects. While yet some distance from the Pequod, she rounded to, and dropping a boat, her captain was impelled towards us, impatiently standing in the bows instead of the stern.
不知什么緣故，這艘"處女號"顯得很急于要跟"裴廓德號"請個安。它跟"裴廓德號"還隔著一段路的時候，船頭就當風停下來，放下一只小艇，它的船長迫不及待地望著我們，他焦灼地站在船頭，而不是站在船梢上。
What has he in his hand there? CRIed Starbuck, pointing to something wavingly held by the German. "Impossible!—a lamp-feeder!"
噯，他手里拿著什么呀？斯達巴克指著那個德國人拿在手里的、甩來甩去的東西，嚷道。"一只燈油壺！——不會吧！"
Not that, said Stubb, "no, no, it's a coffee-pot, Mr. Starbuck; he's coming off to make us our coffee, is the Yarman; don't you see that big tin can there alongside of him?—that's his boiling water. Oh! he's all right, is the Yarman."
絕對不是，斯塔布說，"不是，不是，那是一只咖啡壺，斯達巴克先生；他是要來給我們煮咖啡的，這是個強門人（強門人——原文為Yarman，有似我國南方人稱德國人為強門人。）；你沒有看到他旁邊還有一只大鐵罐么？——那就是滾水。啊！不錯，他是個強門人。"
Go along with you, CRIed Flask, "it's a lamp-feeder and an oil-can. He's out of oil, and has come a-begging."
去你的吧，弗拉斯克叫道，"那是一只燈油壺跟一只油罐子。他沒有油啦，要來跟我們討些油了。"
However curious it may seem for an oil-ship to be borrowing oil on the whale-ground, and however much it may invertedly contradict the old proverb about carrying coals to Newcastle, yet sometimes such a thing really happens;
盡管這件事看來是多么希奇：一只鯨油船竟會在捕鯨漁場上向人家借油，盡管那句送煤送到紐卡斯爾（紐卡斯爾——南非塔耳納省的一個城市，以產煤著名）的老俗諺是多么的自相矛盾，然而，這種事情，往往倒是真的會發(fā)生的；
