Chapter 10: The White Whale
第10章:白鲸
The stories of Moby Dick grew more frightening with each telling. Sailors claimed that this white whale was not like other whales, but something supernatural, a creature of evil and destruction.
莫比·迪克的故事随着每次讲述变得更加可怕。水手们声称这头白鲸不像其他鲸,而是超自然的东西,一个邪恶和毁灭的生物。
Some said they had seen Moby Dick in different parts of the world, as if it could travel anywhere instantly. Others spoke of how it would sink ships without warning, appearing suddenly and disappearing just as quickly.
有些人说他们在世界不同地方看到了莫比·迪克,好像它可以瞬间去任何地方。其他人谈到它如何在没有警告的情况下沉船,突然出现并同样快速地消失。
Captain Ahab listened to these stories with hunger in his eyes. Each tale only strengthened his determination to find and kill the whale. I began to wonder if this hunt was about revenge or something darker and more dangerous.
亚哈船长带着眼中的饥饿听着这些故事。每个故事只会加强他找到并杀死鲸的决心。我开始想知道这次狩猎是关于复仇还是更黑暗和更危险的东西。
