第13章:追逐开始
One morning, the lookout spotted a white shape in the distance. "There she blows!" he shouted, and the ship came alive with excitement. It was Moby Dick, the white whale we had been hunting for months.
一天早上,望员在远处发现了一个白色的形状。"它在那里喷水!"他喊道,船只因兴奋而活跃。那是莫比·迪克,我们追捕了几个月的白鲸。
Captain Ahab ordered the small boats into the water. This was the moment he had been waiting for, the moment of his revenge. His face was determined, his eyes burning with intensity.
亚哈船长命令小船下水。这是他等待的时刻,他复仇的时刻。他的脸是坚定的,眼睛因强度而燃烧。
I climbed into a boat with Queequeg, my heart racing. We rowed toward the white whale, knowing that this hunt would be more dangerous than any we had faced before. The ocean seemed to hold its breath as we approached.
我和奎奎格爬上一艘船,心脏狂跳。我们向白鲸划去,知道这次狩猎将比我们以前面临的任何一次都更危险。当我们接近时,海洋似乎屏住了呼吸。
