He seems a whale-hater, as some men are man-haters. 它似乎是个仇恨鲸者,犹如有些人是仇恨人类者一样。
Very shy; always going solitary1; unexpectedly rising to the surface in the remotest and most sullen2 waters; 它很怕羞,始终独来独往;出人不意地在最远僻最阴沉的海洋上冒出海面;
his straight and single lofty jet rising like a tall misanthropic3 spear upon a barren plain; 它那又直又高的单股喷水,一射起来,就象是插在荒原上一把愤世嫉俗的长矛;
gifted with such wondrous4 power and velocity5 in swimming, as to defy all present pursuit from man; 游起水来,天生有那么惊人的力气和速度,好象是不把人类会随时随刻对它追捕放在眼里似的;
this leviathan seems the banished6 and unconquerable Cain of his race, bearing for his mark that style upon his back. 这种大海兽就象它族类中的被放逐而不可征服的该隐,背负着那标志在它的背上的记号。
From having the baleen7 in his mouth, the Fin8-Back is sometimes included with the right whale, among a theoretic species denominated Whalebone whales, that is, whales with baleen. 由于它嘴上有须,因此,脊鳍鲸有时就被算做露脊鲸,在理论上被列入须鲸类,就是说,是有须的鲸。
Of these so-called Whalebone whales, there would seem to be several varieties, most of which, however, are little known. 关于这些所谓须鲸,看来倒有好几种,不过,其中大多是默默无闻的。
Broad-nosed whales and beaked9 whales; pike-headed whales; bunched whales; under-jawed whales and rostrated whales, are the fisherman's names for a few sorts. 阔鼻鲸;钩鼻鲸;矛头鲸;拳头鲸;低颚鲸和突嘴鲸,都是捕鲸者的几种叫法。
In connexion with this appellative of Whalebone whales, it is of great importance to mention, 关于须鲸这名称,极其值得提出的是,
that however such a nomenclature may be convenient in facilitating allusions10 to some kind of whales, yet it is in vain to attempt a clear classification of the Leviathan, founded upon either his baleen, or hump, or fin, or teeth; 不管这样一个专门名称对于某几种鲸的提法上可以有多大的方便,然而,对于这种大海兽,要想根据它的鲸须。
notwithstanding that those marked parts or features very obviously seem better adapted to afford the basis for a regular system of Cetology than any other detached bodily distinctions, which the whale, in his kinds, presents. 背峰,或者是根据大鳍。牙齿来获得一种明确的分类却是徒劳的;虽然这种特点或者特征,看似比之它的同类所具有的其它任何个别的体躯上的特点更为明显,更易于得出正规的鲸类学体系的根据。
