英語聽書《白鯨記》第789期

Arrived then at this spot, with one hand still to his nose, he bawled—"Bouton-de-Rose, ahoy! are there any of you Bouton-de-Roses that speak English?"

他劃到那里后，一邊用手掩著鼻子，一邊嘩嘩叫道——"Bouton - de - Rose，喂！你們這些個Bouton - de - Rose，可有人會講英國話嘛？"

Yes, rejoined a Guernsey-man from the bulwarks, who turned out to be the chief-mate.

有，舷墻邊有一個革恩齊（革恩齊——英國海峽中一個小島。）人回答道，原來他就是大副。

Well, then, my Bouton-de-Rose-bud, have you seen the White Whale?

好呀，那么，我的玫瑰蕊呀，你們可看到白鯨么？

What whale?

什么鯨？

"The White Whale—a Sperm Whale—Moby Dick, have ye seen him?

"白鯨——抹香鯨——莫比－迪克，你們可看到它嗎？"

"Never heard of such a whale. Cachalot Blanche! White Whale—no."

"聽也沒有聽到過這種鯨。Cachalot Blanche?。ǚㄎ模喊做L。）白鯨——沒有。"

"Very good, then; good bye now, and I'll call again in a minute."

"那么，好吧，再見啦，等會兒我再來拜望。"

Then rapidly pulling back towards the Pequod, and seeing Ahab leaning over the quarter-deck rail awaiting his report, he moulded his two hands into a trumpet and shouted—"No, Sir! No!" Upon which Ahab retired, and Stubb returned to the Frenchman.

于是他迅速劃回"裴廓德號"，看到亞哈正倚著后甲板的欄桿等候報告，斯塔布把兩手合成一只喇叭，嚷道——"沒有，先生！沒有！"聽到這報告后，亞哈走開了，斯塔布又再劃到法國船那邊去。

He now perceived that the Guernsey-man, who had just got into the chains, and was using a cutting-spade, had slung his nose in a sort of bag.

這時，他看到那個革恩齊人正鉆在錨鏈里，在使著一只砍鯨鏟，鼻子上還吊著一只袋子那樣的東西。

What's the matter with your nose, there? said Stubb. "Broke it?"

喂，你的鼻子怎樣啦？斯塔布說。"撞破啦？"

I wish it was broken, or that I didn't have any nose at all! answered the Guernsey-man, who did not seem to relish the job he was at very much. "But what are you holding yours for?"

我才巴不得它撞破了，或者根本沒有這鼻子倒痛快些，那個革恩齊人回答道，看上去他對這個差使并不很感興趣。"可是，你為什么也捂著鼻子呢？"

Oh, nothing! It's a wax nose; I have to hold it on. Fine day, ain't it? Air rather gardenny, I should say; throw us a bunch of posies, will ye, Bouton-de-Rose?

啊，沒有什么！這是只蠟鼻子；我得把它捂住才行。今天天氣很好呀，不是嗎？有點象在花園里的味兒，我敢說；給我們丟下一束花來好不好，玫瑰蕊？
