Started from his slumbers, Ahab, face to face, saw the Parsee; and hooped round by the gloom of the night they seemed the last men in a flooded world. "I have dreamed it again," said he.

亞哈從睡夢里驚醒過來，跟那個祆教徒面面相覷；在那朦朧籠罩的夜空中，他們倆象是大洪水留下來的僅有兩個人。"我又夢到了它，"他說。

Of the hearses? Have I not said, old man, that neither hearse nor coffin can be thine?

夢到了靈車嘛？你這老人家，我不是跟你說過，靈車也好，棺材也好，都沒有你的份兒嗎？

And who are hearsed that die on the sea?

哪個死在海上的，還有靈車？

But I said, old man, that ere thou couldst die on this voyage, two hearses must verily be seen by thee on the sea; the first not made by mortal hands; and the visible wood of the last one must be grown in America.

不過，我說，老人家，你如果死在這趟航程上，那么死前一定真會讓你見到海上有兩只靈車；頭一只可不是活人做出來的，另外一只卻準(zhǔn)是用出產(chǎn)在美國的肉眼看得到的木頭做的。

Aye, aye! a strange sight that, Parsee! — a hearse and its plumes floating over the ocean with the waves for the pall-bearers. Ha! Such a sight we shall not soon see.

嗨，嗨！這倒是個奇觀，老朋友：一只扎著羽毛的靈車漂洋過海，海浪做扶棺人。哈！這樣的景致我們倒不是馬上就看得到咧。

Believe it or not, thou canst not die till it be seen, old man.

信不信由你，你一定要看到這東西以后才會死，老人家。

And what was that saying about thyself?

那么你自己呢？

Though it come to the last, I shall still go before thee thy pilot.

不過，到頭來，我還要走在你前頭，做你的引港人呢。

And when thou art so gone before — if that ever befall — then ere I can follow, thou must still appear to me, to pilot me still? — Was it not so? Well, then, did I believe all ye say, oh my pilot! I have here two pledges that I shall yet slay Moby Dick and survive it.

既然你要先走了——如果是真的話——那么，在我跟著你走之前，你還一定要到我這邊來，還要來領(lǐng)我去嘛？——是不是這樣？唔，那么，我就算相信你的話吧，我的領(lǐng)港人呵！可是，我還得發(fā)兩個誓，不是我殺倒莫比－迪克，就是它殺倒我。
