Nevertheless, not three days previous, Bildad had told them that no profane songs would be allowed on board the Pequod, particularly in getting under weigh; and Charity, his sister, had placed a small choice copy of Watts in each seaman's berth. 水手们也在唱歌，不过不是离别的凄凉之作，更不是圣歌，而是一首关于一个什么港上的姑娘的歌。 Meantime, overseeing the other part of the ship, Captain Peleg ripped and swore astern in the most frightful manner. 法勒现在站在船尾，他没唱歌，他在不停地吼叫，让人担心船还没出港就会让他给骂沉了！
I almost thought he would sink the ship before the anchor could be got up; involuntarily I paused on my handspike, and told Queequeg to do the same, thinking of the perils we both ran, in starting on the voyage with such a devil for a pilot. 随着绞车的转动，铁锚被缓缓地从水里拉了起来。比勒达全神贯注地盯着这个过程，嘴里哼着一首凄婉的曲子。
I was comforting myself, however, with the thought that in pious Bildad might be found some salvation, spite of his seven hundred and seventy-seventh lay; 我靠在船舷上，很自然地想歇一歇，
