Chapter 17: Survival
第17章：幸存
Hours passed, then days. We floated on the coffin, alone in the vast ocean. The sun burned our skin, and thirst became a constant companion. We shared what little we had and talked of home to keep our spirits up.
几小时过去了，然后几天。我们漂浮在棺材上，独自在浩瀚的海洋中。太阳烧灼我们的皮肤，口渴成为常伴。我们分享我们仅有的一点，谈论家以保持我们的精神。
Queequeg used his knowledge of the sea to help us survive. He knew which birds meant land and how to catch small fish. Without his skills, I am certain we would have died in that endless water.
奎奎格利用他对海洋的知识帮助我们幸存。他知道哪些鸟意味着陆地以及如何捕捉小鱼。没有他的技能，我确信我们会在无尽的水中死去。
On the second day, a ship appeared on the horizon. We waved and shouted until we were seen, crying with relief as they approached to rescue us from the sea that had almost taken our lives.
第二天，一艘船出现在地平线上。我们挥手和喊叫直到被看到，当他们接近从几乎夺走我们生命的海洋中救援我们时，如释重负地哭泣。
