Chapter 4: Captain Ahab
第4章:亚哈船长
Captain Ahab was unlike any other captain I had ever seen. He rarely spoke to the crew and spent most of his time alone on the deck, staring at the sea with intense eyes. He seemed to be searching for something.
亚哈船长与我见过的任何船长都不一样。他很少与船员说话,大部分时间独自在甲板上,用强烈的眼睛凝视着大海。他似乎在寻找什么。
I learned that Ahab had lost his leg to a great white whale called Moby Dick. This whale was famous among sailors for its size and ferocity. Ahab had sworn revenge and was hunting this creature across the oceans.
我得知亚哈把腿丢失给了一头叫莫比·迪克的大白鲸。这头鲸鱼因其大小和凶猛而在水手中闻名。亚哈发誓要复仇,正在海洋中追捕这个生物。
The other crew members respected Ahab for his knowledge and experience, but some were worried about his obsession. They feared that his desire for revenge would endanger the entire ship and everyone on it.
其他船员因为亚哈的知识和经验而尊重他,但有些人担心他的痴迷。他们害怕他的复仇欲望会危及整艘船和上面的所有人。
