Yes, but I should like to see him.  是的，我们谈好了。可我还是想见见他。

But I don't think thou wilt be able to at present.  见见他，说起来容易，可要见到他太难了。

I don't know exactly what's the matter with him; but he keeps close inside the house;  船一靠岸，他就回了家，足不出户，我也见不着他了。

a sort of sick, and yet he don't look so. In fact, he ain't sick;  也许他病了吧，也许没有，

but no, he isn't well either.  不过，可以肯定的是，他身体不太好。 

Any how, young man, he won't always see me, so I don't suppose he will thee.  年轻人,他不总是找到我我,所以我不认为他会找上你。

He's a queer man, Captain Ahab—so some think—but a good one. Oh, thou'lt like him well enough;  有人说他是个怪人，也许吧，可他还是个好人！

no fear, no fear. He's a grand, ungodly, god-like man, Captain Ahab;  你不用怕，你一定会喜欢上他的。他是个伟大的人；他不敬神却像一尊神；

doesn't speak much; but, when he does speak, then you may well listen.  他轻易不开口，可一开口就够你受的。你要完全服从于他！ 

Mark ye, be forewarned; Ahab's above the common; Ahab's been in colleges, as well as 'mong the cannibals;  亚哈绝不是凡夫俗子，他上过大学，也到过吃人生番聚居的蛮荒之地，

been used to deeper wonders than the waves; fixed his fiery lance in mightier, stranger foes than whales.  他在海上战斗，用鱼枪对付过比大鲸鱼更可怕的家伙！ 

His lance! aye, the keenest and the surest that out of all our isle!  说到他的鱼枪，那可是他的骄傲！他有百发百中的神功！
