英语听书《白鲸记》第614期
yet is there no conceivable time or occasion when you will find them in such countless numbers, and in gayer or more jovial spirits, than around a dead sperm whale, moored by night to a whaleship at sea. If you have never seen that sight, then suspend your decision about the propriety of devil-worship, and the expediency of conciliating the devil.
然而，你就想象不到有一个时间或场合，在数目的众多上，在神情的奕奕上，可以跟它们在那天夜里的海上的捕鲸船边，围着一条死抹香鲸的情况相比拟。如果你从来没有见到过那种场面，那么，请你对于应不应该崇拜魔鬼，对于安抚魔鬼的利害得失的问题，还是暂缓作出决定为妙。
But, as yet, Stubb heeded not the mumblings of the banquet that was going on so nigh him, no more than the sharks heeded the smacking of his own epicurean lips.
可是，直到现在，斯塔布对于近在身旁的、正在进行着的筵席的嗫嚅声，还是一点也没有注意到，同样地，那些鲨鱼也没有留意到斯塔布这个老饕的嘴巴的巴嗒声。
Cook, cook!—where's that old Fleece? he CRIed at length, widening his legs still further, as if to form a more secure base for his supper; and, at the same time darting his fork into the dish, as if stabbing with his lance; "cook, you cook!— sail this way, cook!"

这个黑人老头打厨房里踉踉跄跄地踱出来，可是，因为刚在最不相宜的时分让人家从暖烘烘的吊铺里吵醒，神色并不显得很高兴。如象许多黑人老头一样，他的膝盖骨也有点儿毛病，所以不能象他其它那些关节一样运转自如。这个人家管他叫弗里斯老头的人，撑着火钳（这种粗具火钳形式的东西，是用两根敲直了的铁箍做成的），慢吞吞地一瘸一瘸地走过来。这个黑檀色的人挣着走了过来，为了表示听候吩咐，在斯塔布的食具架对面死板板地停了下来；
