英语听书《白鲸记》第66期(在线收听

 What do you mean, sir? Was the other one lost by a whale?  什么?鲸鱼吃了他的另一条腿? 

Lost by a whale! Young man, come nearer to me: it was devoured, chewed up, crunched by the monstrousest parmacetty that ever chipped a boat!ah, ah!  是的,抹香鲸把他的一条腿吃了!
I was a little alarmed by his energy, perhaps also a little touched at the hearty grief in his concluding exclamation,  我几乎被他感动,他的声音中有一种抑制不住的悲凉。
but said as calmly as I could, What you say is no doubt true enough, sir;  我定了定神,你说的毫无疑问,先生,
but how could I know there was any peculiar ferocity in that particular whale, though indeed I might have inferred as much from the simple fact of the accident.  但我怎么能知道有任何特殊的凶猛,特别的鲸鱼,尽管事实上我可能会从一个简单事故中推断。
Look ye now, young man, thy lungs are a sort of soft, d'ye see; thou dost not talk shark a bit. SURE, ye've been to sea before now; sure of that?  小伙子,你尽管还嫩,但毕竟没冒充内行。你说你出过海…… 
Sir, said I, I thought I told you that I had been four voyages in the merchant. 先生,我出过四趟海了…
Hard down out of that! Mind what I said about the marchant service,don't aggravate me,I won't have it.  住嘴,别提你那让人讨厌的商船,我可不爱听!
But let us understand each other. I have given thee a hint about what whaling is; do ye yet feel inclined for it?  你还想干这可能丢了腿丢了命的捕鲸吗?
