 so that Queequeg in his own proper person was a riddle to unfold; a wondrous work in one volume; 因此,在魁魁格本人身上就是一个难解的谜;一大部神妙的作品;

but whose mysteries not even himself could read, though his own live heart beat against them; 但是,尽管他自己那颗活生生的心在怦怦地撞着那些刺花,然而,这些奥妙的文章却连他自己也弄不清楚。

And meet it is, that over these sea-pastures, wide-rolling watery prairies and Potters' Fields of all four continents, the waves should rise and fall, and ebb and flow unceasingly; 与此对称的是,在这片海洋的大牧场,绵延起伏的汪洋的大草原和四海的公共大墓地上,波涛在不停地起落涨退;
