英语听书《白鲸记》第97期

I don't know anything about Deacon Deuteronomy orhis meeting, said I; all I know is,

面对比勒达咄咄逼人的嚎叫，我不慌不忙地说：我不知道什么德多罗诺米·科尔曼执事。

that Queequeg here is a born member of the FirstCongregational Church. He is a deacon himself,Queequeg is.

我只知道这位魁魁格先生生下来就是第一公理教会的会友，而且他自己就是个执事!

Young man, said Bildad sternly, thou art skylarking with me—explain thyself, thou youngHittite. What church dost thee mean? answer me.

小伙子，你没有开玩笑吧?你再说一遍，他是哪个教派的执事?

Finding myself thus hard pushed, I replied. I mean, sir, the same ancient Catholic Church towhich you and I, and Captain Peleg there,

哪个教派?古代的天主教派!你、我还有法勒船长，还有魁魁格我们每个人都归属于的那个教派!

and Queequeg here, and all of us, and every mother's son and soul of us belong; the great andeverlasting First Congregation of this whole worshipping world;

这个世界上最应该崇拜的公理教会，我们当中的任何人都不应该对它产生怀疑!只有那些头脑有毛病的人才远离这个伟大的信仰;我们大家应该在这个伟大的信仰中手拉手!

we all belong to that; only some of us cherish some queer crotchets no ways touching thegrand belief; in THAT we all join hands.

好啊，小伙子，你不该当水手，还是去当牧师吧!我还从来没听过比这更好的布道词呢!恐怕连德多罗诺米执事、甚至梅普尔神也比不上你呢!

Splice, thou mean'st SPLICE hands, cried Peleg, drawing nearer. Young man, you'd better shipfor a missionary, instead of a fore-mast hand; I never heard a better sermon.

好啊，多厉害的一枝标枪啊!好钢打的!使这样的标枪的人大概也不会错吧，我说刮荷格还是什么格的，你在捕鲸船上干过吗?打到过鲸鱼吗?
