Chapter 9: Moby Dick
第9章:莫比·迪克
As we continued our journey, Captain Ahab spoke more about Moby Dick, the white whale that had taken his leg. This creature was legendary among sailors, known for its intelligence and its habit of attacking ships.
当我们继续旅程时,亚哈船长更多地谈论莫比·迪克,那头带走他腿的白鲸。这个生物在水手中是传奇的,以其智慧和攻击船只的习惯而闻名。
Ahab described the day he lost his leg. The whale had appeared suddenly, destroying his boat and taking his leg with one powerful bite. Since that day, Ahab had lived only for revenge, hunting Moby Dick across every ocean.
亚哈描述了他失去腿的那天。鲸突然出现,摧毁了他的船,用一次有力的咬带走了他的腿。从那天起,亚哈只为复仇而活,在每个海洋追捕莫比·迪克。
The crew listened with fascination and fear. Some believed Ahab was mad to chase one whale so far, but others respected his determination. I did not know what to think, but I could feel the tension growing on the ship.
船员们着迷和恐惧地听着。有些人认为亚哈如此远地追捕一头鲸是疯狂的,但其他人尊重他的决心。我不知道该想什么,但我能感觉到船上的紧张在增长。
