yet is there no conceivable time or occasion when you will find them in such countless numbers, and in gayer or more jovial spirits, than around a dead sperm whale, moored by night to a whaleship at sea. If you have never seen that sight, then suspend your decision about the propriety of devil-worship, and the expediency of conciliating the devil.

然而，你就想象不到有一個時間或場合，在數(shù)目的眾多上，在神情的奕奕上，可以跟它們在那天夜里的海上的捕鯨船邊，圍著一條死抹香鯨的情況相比擬。如果你從來沒有見到過那種場面，那么，請你對于應不應該崇拜魔鬼，對于安撫魔鬼的利害得失的問題，還是暫緩作出決定為妙。

But, as yet, Stubb heeded not the mumblings of the banquet that was going on so nigh him, no more than the sharks heeded the smacking of his own epicurean lips.

可是，直到現(xiàn)在，斯塔布對于近在身旁的、正在進行著的筵席的囁嚅聲，還是一點也沒有注意到，同樣地，那些鯊魚也沒有留意到斯塔布這個老饕的嘴巴的巴嗒聲。

Cook, cook!—where's that old Fleece? he CRIed at length, widening his legs still further, as if to form a more secure base for his supper; and, at the same time darting his fork into the dish, as if stabbing with his lance; "cook, you cook!— sail this way, cook!"

這個黑人老頭打廚房里踉踉蹌蹌地踱出來，可是，因為剛在最不相宜的時分讓人家從暖烘烘的吊鋪里吵醒，神色并不顯得很高興。如象許多黑人老頭一樣，他的膝蓋骨也有點兒毛病，所以不能象他其它那些關節(jié)一樣運轉(zhuǎn)自如。這個人家管他叫弗里斯老頭的人，撐著火鉗（這種粗具火鉗形式的東西，是用兩根敲直了的鐵箍做成的），慢吞吞地一瘸一瘸地走過來。這個黑檀色的人掙著走了過來，為了表示聽候吩咐，在斯塔布的食具架對面死板板地停了下來；
