But good bye, good bye, old mast-head!

“可是再见吧，再见吧，老桅顶！

" Man the mast-heads! Call all hands! "

“上桅顶！把人都叫起来！”

Like dislodged trucks, the heads of the harpooneers aloft shook on their bull-like necks.

桅顶上标枪手们脑袋，像错位桅冠一样，在他们公牛般脖子上摇来晃去。

Eleven o'clock was striking;Mr. Fogg was an hour in advance of time.

仰光号泊在离码头半海里海湾里，大桅顶上已经升起开船信号旗。钟敲十一点。福克先生早到一小时。

The mast-heads, like the tops of tall palms, were outspreadingly tufted with arms and legs.

桅顶像是高高棕榈树顶，一簇簇大张着手脚。

In the turtle boats I was in the cross-trees of the mast-head and even at that height I saw much.

在捕海龟船上，我待在桅顶横桁上，即使从那样高看到不少东西。

Immediately afterwards the light at the schooner's masthead was run down and extinguished.

紧接着，纵帆船桅顶上灯熄灭。

" And did none of ye see it before? " cried Ahab, hailing the perched men all around him.

“你们没人在我之前发现它吧？”亚哈向他周围栖息在桅顶上人叫道。

" There she blows—she blows! —she blows! —right ahead! " was now the mast-head cry.

“它在那儿喷水——它在喷水！——它在喷水！——就在前面！”这时，桅顶上有人喊道。

The rigging lived. The mast-heads, like the tops of tall palms, were outspreadingly tufted with arms and legs.

索具都很结实。桅顶有如高高棕榈树冠，都布着一簇簇手脚。

" Blast it! " —but slipping backward on the deck, his uplifted eyes caught the flames; and immediately shifting his tone he cried—" The corpusants have mercy on us all! "

“该死！”——他在甲板上往后一滑，抬头正好看见桅顶上火焰，立时换一副声调叫道——“电光可怜可怜我们大家吧！”

But at last, some three points off the weather bow, Ahab descried the spout again, and instantly from the three mast-heads three shrieks went up as if the tongues of fire had voiced it.

不过，到最后，在距离上风舷三个罗经点地方，亚哈再次发现喷水，顿时，从三根桅顶仿佛火舌般传来三声尖叫。

Ahab had now gained his final perch, some feet above the other look-outs, Tashtego standing just beneath him on the cap of the top-gallant-mast, so that the Indian's head was almost on a level with Ahab's heel.

亚哈现在已经到最终落脚处，比其他瞭望者高出几英尺。塔什特戈就站在他下面上桅顶桅冠上，这个印第安人脑袋几乎和亚哈脚后跟在一个水平线上。

I was down at my observatory among the elders, when a light was run up to the masthead of the schooner, and showed she was closer in than when I had last seen her by the dying daylight.

当一盏灯亮到纵帆船桅顶时，我正站在我天文台下面，这表明她比我最后一次在即将消逝白昼看到她时更近。

Almost renouncing all thought of falling in with any game hereabouts, the ship had well nigh entered the straits, when the customary cheering cry was heard from aloft, and ere long a spectacle of singular magnificence saluted us.

大家几乎都放弃在这附近遇到猎物念头。船已经快要进入海峡，就在这时，桅顶上传来惯常欢呼声，不久，一个异常宏伟奇观就在迎接我们。

" Aye, breach your last to the sun, Moby Dick! " cried Ahab, " thy hour and thy harpoon are at hand! —Down! down all of ye, but one man at the fore. The boats! —stand by! "

“唉，朝着太阳做你最后一跃吧，莫比·迪克！”亚哈叫道，“你大限和你标枪都已近在眼前！——下来！你们都下来吧，只留一个人在前桅顶。小艇！——准备！”

" Your hat, your hat, sir! " suddenly cried the Sicilian seaman, who being posted at the mizen-mast-head, stood directly behind Ahab, though somewhat lower than his level, and with a deep gulf of air dividing them.

“你帽子，你帽子，先生！”那个西西里水手突然叫起来，他正在后桅顶上值班，正好站在亚哈后面，只是位置比亚哈低一些，还隔着一道天空深渊。

But mark: aloft there, at the three mast heads, stand three men intent on spying out more whales, which, if caught, infallibly will again soil the old oaken furniture, and drop at least one small grease-spot somewhere.

在高处，在三根桅顶上，站着三个人，专心致志地瞭望着，想发现更多鲸，一旦捕到，保准又会弄脏那古老橡木家什，并至少在什么地方洒下一滴油脂。
