The whale, the whale! Up helm, up helm! Oh, all ye sweet powers of air, now hug me close! Let not Starbuck die, if die he must, in a woman's fainting fit. Up helm, I say — ye fools, the jaw! the jaw! Is this the end of all my bursting prayers? all my life-long fidelities? Oh, Ahab, Ahab, lo, thy work. Steady! helmsman, steady. Nay, nay! Up helm again! He turns to meet us! Oh, his unappeasable brow drives on towards one, whose duty tells him he cannot depart. My God, stand by me now!
大鲸！大鲸！转舵向风，转舵向风！你们这些好心的万能的风呵，现在把我紧紧地抱住吧！别让斯达巴克死掉呀，如果他非死不可，就让他象个女人那样昏死过去吧。转舵向风呀，喂，——你们这些傻瓜，看那张大嘴巴；那张大嘴巴！难道我喊破了喉咙的祷告，我终生的虔诚，就是这样的结果嘛？亚哈呵，亚哈，你瞧，这就是你弄出来的呀。从容！舵手，从容。不，不！再转舵向风！它已经掉了身子要跟我们相遇啦！啊，它那压制不住愤怒的额头一个劲儿紧瞪着一个目标，它的责任要它不能离开那个目标。我的天呀，现在请庇护我吧！
Stand not by me, but stand under me, whoever you are that will now help Stubb; for Stubb, too, sticks here. I grin at thee, thou grinning whale! Who ever helped Stubb, or kept Stubb awake, but Stubb's own unwinking eye? And now poor Stubb goes to bed upon a mattrass that is all too soft; would it were stuffed with brushwood! I grin at thee, thou grinning whale! Look ye, sun, moon, and stars! I call ye assassins of as good a fellow as ever spouted up his ghost. For all that, I would yet ring glasses with ye, would ye but hand the cup! Oh, oh! oh, oh! thou grinning whale, but there'll be plenty of gulping soon!
别庇护我，撇开我，这会儿，不管是谁都要帮助斯塔布，因为斯塔布也在这里死守。我咧开嘴笑你，你这嬉皮笑脸的大鲸！谁曾帮过斯塔布，谁能使斯塔布醒来，还不是只靠斯塔布自己的眨都不眨的眼睛嘛？现在可怜的斯塔布要去躺在那张再软也没有的床铺上了；那里头会不会塞着些木柴呢！我咧开嘴笑你，你这嬉皮笑脸的大鲸！你们太阳。月亮和星辰，瞧呀，我管你们跟那个始终在喷出它的鬼影的家伙一样叫做凶犯。话虽如此，我可还要跟你们碰碰杯，你们就举起杯来吧！啊，啊！啊，啊！你这嬉皮笑脸的大鲸，不一会，就尽够你狼吞虎咽喽！
