Bildad, say that again to me, and start my soulbolts, but I'll-I'll-yes, I'll swallow a live goat with all his hair and horns on.  比勒达,你再对我说一遍,来挑动我的肝火吧,那我就...我就...不错,我就把一只活山羊都连毛带角吞下去。

Out of the cabin, ye canting, drab-colored son of a wooden gun-a straight wake with ye! 到外边去,你这个讲黑话的乌龟贼强盗的灰孙子。立刻给我滚出去!

As he thundered out this he made a rush at Bildad, but with a marvellous oblique², sliding celerity, Bildad for that time eluded³ him. 他一边破口大骂,一边冲到比勒达跟前,但是,这时,比勒达却出奇的神速,身子一闪,避开了他。

Alarmed at this terrible outburst between the two principal and responsible owners of the ship,  这两个负有主要和重大责任的船东这样骇人的吵架可把我吓呆了,

and feeling half a mind to give up all idea of sailing in a vessel⁴ so questionably⁵ owned and temporarily commanded,  我颇想打消一切的念头,不上这么一艘船权颇有疑问又是暂时给代管着的船只,

I stepped aside from the door to give egress⁶ to Bildad, who, I made no doubt, was all eagerness to vanish from before the awakened⁷ wrath⁸ of Peleg.  我打门边一闪,让路给比勒达逃出去,因为这家伙,毫无疑问地,一定急于要避开法勒的盛怒。

But to my astonishment⁹, he sat down again on the transom very quietly, and seemed to have not the slightest intention of withdrawing.  可是,使我诧异的是,他竟又十分泰然地坐到横木上去,看来毫无退却的意图。

He seemed quite used to impenitent¹⁰ Peleg and his ways.  他似乎已经看惯了这个不知悔悟的法勒和他那副脾气了。

As for Peleg, after letting off his rage as he had, there seemed no more left in him, and he, too, sat down like a lamb,  至于法勒,脾气发过后,也好象是太平无事了,他也坐了下来,象一只绵羊似的,

though he twitched¹¹ a little as if still nervously¹² agitated¹³.  虽然他还微显抽挛,宛似精神仍很激动。

Whew! he whistled at last-the squall's gone off to leeward¹⁴, I think.  呸!他最后啐了一下说...风暴已经消失了吧,我想。

Bildad, thou used to be good at sharpening a lance, mend that pen, will ye.  比勒达,你磨鱼枪一向很在行,给我修修这支笔吧。

My jack-knife here needs the grindstone. That's he; thank ye, Bildad.  我的小刀得上磨石啦,喏,谢谢你,比勒达。

Now then, my young man, Ishmael's thy name, didn't ye say?  那么,小伙子,刚才你不是说你叫以实玛利么?

Well then, down ye go here, Ishmael, for the three hundredth lay. 好吧,这就给你写下来啦,以实玛利,三百分之一的拆账。
