Chowder for breakfast, and chowder for dinner, and chowder for supper, till you began to look for fish-bones coming through your clothes. 早餐杂烩汤,晚餐海鲜汤,晚饭海鲜杂烩浓汤,直到你开始寻找藏身于衣服中的鱼骨。
The area before the house was paved with clam-shells. 客店里到处都是蛤蜊壳，
Mrs. Hussey wore a polished necklace of codfish vertebra; and Hosea Hussey had his account books bound in superior old shark-skin. 胡赛太太的项链是用鳘鱼脊骨做成的，胡赛先生的账本也是用上好的鳘鱼皮制成的，
There was a fishy 1 flavor to the milk, too, which I could not at all account for, till one morning happening to take a stroll along the beach among some fishermen's boats, 就连牛奶里也有股鱼味儿！ 这就有点让我百思不得其解了。直到早晨散步时我看见奶牛在吃鱼骨头时，心中才豁然。
I saw Hosea's brindled 2 cow feeding on fish remnants, and marching along the sand with each foot in a cod's decapitated head, looking very slip-shod, I assure yes. 那奶牛不仅在吃鱼骨头，四个脚上还套着四个鳘鱼头，像拖鞋似的。
Supper concluded, we received a lamp, and directions from Mrs. Hussey concerning the nearest way to bed; 晚饭后胡赛太太给了我们一盏灯，指点了去客房的路。
but, as Queequeg was about to precede me up the stairs, the lady reached forth 3 her arm, and demanded his harpoon 4; 我们刚要走，胡赛太太一伸手，拦住了魁魁格。
she allowed no harpoon in her chambers 5. 不能带标枪！
Why not? said I; every true whaleman sleeps with his harpoon，but why not? Because it's dangerous, says she. 为什么？每个真正的捕鲸者都是和标枪共枕同眠的！我辩解着。 这很危险！她说道。
