He was a small, short, youngish man, sprinkled all over his face with freckles, and wearing redundant yellow hair. A long-skirted, cabalistically-cut coat of a faded walnut tinge enveloped him; the overlapping sleeves of which were rolled up on his wrists. A deep, settled, fanatic delirium was in his eyes.

他身材短小，年紀(jì)很輕，滿(mǎn)臉雀斑，長(zhǎng)著一頭豐盛的黃發(fā)。他身穿一件褪了色的胡桃色的。猶太神秘哲學(xué)家式的長(zhǎng)外衣，袖子直卷到肘端。在他那深陷的眼睛里，顯出一股呆滯的精神錯(cuò)亂似的神色。

So soon as this figure had been first desCRIed, Stubb had exclaimed— "That's he! that's he!—the long-togged scaramouch the Town-Ho's company told us of!" Stubb here alluded to a strange story told of the Jeroboam, and a certain man among her crew, some time previous when the Pequod spoke the Town-Ho. According to this account and what was subsequently learned, it seemed that the scaramouch in question had gained a wonderful ascendency over almost everybody in the Jeroboam. His story was this:

斯塔布一發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)人物，便叫了起來(lái)——"就是他！就是他！——就是'大鯨出來(lái)了號(hào)，的水手告訴我們的，那個(gè)穿著上岸衣服的膽小鬼！"斯塔布指的是上次碰到"大鯨出來(lái)了號(hào)"的水手時(shí)所談起的"耶羅波安號(hào)"一個(gè)水手。根據(jù)這情況以及后來(lái)所知道的，這個(gè)不相識(shí)的膽小鬼，看來(lái)差不多對(duì)"耶羅波安號(hào)"的全體船員具有一種奇特的權(quán)威。他的故事是這樣：

He had originally been nurtured among the crazy society of Neskyeuna Shakers, where he had been a great prophet; in their cracked, secret meetings having several times descended from heaven by the way of a trapdoor, announcing the speedy opening of the seventh vial, which he carried in his vest-pocket; but, which, instead of containing gunpowder, was supposed to be charged with laudanum.

他是在狂妄的奈斯古威那震教派（奈斯古威那（即尼斯加由那）震教派——是一個(gè)修女院長(zhǎng)叫安思。李的和她的門(mén)徒于一七七六年在紐約州阿耳巴尼附近的尼斯加由那地方所創(chuàng)設(shè)的一種教派。祭神時(shí)跳震動(dòng)舞，故名。）團(tuán)體里熏陶長(zhǎng)大的，在那里，他本來(lái)就是個(gè)大預(yù)言家。在他們那些精神失常的秘密集會(huì)中，他有好幾次從一扇活板門(mén)里跑了下來(lái)，卻聲稱(chēng)是由天上下來(lái)的，立刻就要打開(kāi)七碗（七碗——天使把盛上帝大怒的七碗倒在地上，見(jiàn)《新約。啟示錄》第十六章。）（碗就藏在他的胸袋里）。據(jù)說(shuō)，這些碗藏的并不是火藥，而是裝著鴉片劑。
