英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)書《白鯨記》 第294期

Seven hundred and seventy-seventh, again saidBildad, without lifting his eyes; and then went onmumbling--for where your treasure is, there will yourheart be also.

七百七十七分之一,比勒達(dá)眼也不抬地說(shuō)過(guò)后,又繼續(xù)喃喃下去。因?yàn)槟愕呢?cái)寶在哪里,你的心也在那里。

I am going to put him down for the three hundredth,said Peleg, do ye hear that, Bildad! The threehundredth lay, I say.

我要把他的名字寫上,注明三百分之一,法勒說(shuō),你聽(tīng)到吧,比勒達(dá)!三百分之一的拆賬,我說(shuō)。

Bildad laid down his book, and turning solemnly towards him said, Captain Peleg, thou hast agenerous heart; but thou must consider the duty thou owest to the other owners of this ship--widows and orphans, many of them-- and that if we too abundantly reward the labors of thisyoung man, we may be taking the bread from those widows and those orphans. The sevenhundred and seventy-seventh lay, Captain Peleg.

比勒達(dá)放下了書,一本正經(jīng)地轉(zhuǎn)向他說(shuō),法勒船長(zhǎng),你心地豁達(dá)慷慨;可是,你也得想一想你對(duì)這只船的其他股東所負(fù)的責(zé)任。其中有許多是孤兒寡婦呀,因此,我們要是給這個(gè)小伙子的工資給得太多了,我們就會(huì)搶掉這些孤兒寡婦的面包。七百七十七分之一的拆賬,法勒船長(zhǎng)。

Thou Bildad! roared Peleg, starting up and clattering about the cabin. Blast ye, Captain Bildad,if I had followed thy advice in these matters, I would afore now had a conscience to lug aboutthat would be heavy enough to founder the largest ship that ever sailed round Cape Horn.

你這比勒達(dá)!法勒砰地跳了起來(lái),在艙房里卡塔卡塔地走來(lái)走去,大肆咆哮道。該死,比勒達(dá)船長(zhǎng),如果我過(guò)去在這些事情上依你的話,那我的良心早就重得夠把任何一條航行在合恩角的最大的船只都?jí)撼亮恕?/p>

Captain Peleg, said Bildad steadily, thy conscience may be drawing ten inches of water, or tenfathoms, I can't tell; but as thou art still an impenitent man, Captain Peleg, I greatly fear lestthy conscience be but a leaky one; and will in the end sink thee foundering down to the fierypit, Captain Peleg.

法勒船長(zhǎng),比勒達(dá)堅(jiān)定地說(shuō),你的良心也許能吃十英寸水,或者能吃十水,那我可說(shuō)不出;不過(guò),因?yàn)槟氵€是一個(gè)不悔悟的人,法勒船長(zhǎng),我非常擔(dān)心,怕你的良心只是個(gè)漏了氣的;到頭來(lái)會(huì)叫你沉到火坑里去,法勒船長(zhǎng)。

Fiery pit! fiery pit! ye insult me, man; past all natural bearing, ye insult me.

火坑!火坑,你侮辱我,老兄;這可叫人忍無(wú)可忍,你侮辱我。
