And with these cracked words he finally departed, leaving me, for the moment, in no small wonderment at his frantic¹ impudence².  他疯疯癫癫地讲了一遍，走了。 

At last, stepping on board the Pequod, we found everything in profound quiet, not a soul moving.  我们登上裴廓德号时，发现船上一个人影也没有，

The cabin entrance was locked within; the hatches were all on, and lumbered³ with coils of rigging.  舱盖锁着，甲板上有一堆烂绳头，海风掠过，一片凄凉的景象。 

Going forward to the forecastle, we found the slide of the scuttle⁴ open. Seeing a light, we went down, and found only an old rigger there, wrapped in a tattered⁵ pea-jacket.  灯光从小舱的舱口处射了出来，我们迈步过去，却见一位穿着破烂的老索匠，

He was thrown at whole length upon two chests, his face downwards⁶ and inclosed in his folded arms. The profoundest slumber⁷ slept upon him.  侧身躺在两口箱子上，睡得正香。 

Those sailors we saw, Queequeg, where can they have gone to? said I, looking dubiously⁸ at the sleeper⁹.  哎，魁魁格，刚才咱们看见的那些水手哪儿去了呢？  

But it seemed that, when on the wharf¹⁰, Queequeg had not at all noticed what I now alluded¹¹ to;  对于我的问题，魁魁格并不以为然，因为刚才在岸上他压根儿就没看见什么。

hence I would have thought myself to have been optically deceived in that matter, were it not for Elijah's otherwise inexplicable¹² question.  算啦，咱们就守着这个老索匠坐一会儿吧！
