But if you are speaking of Captain Ahab, of that ship there, the Pequod, then let me tell you, that I know all about the loss of his leg. 你刚才讲的亚哈船长失去一条腿的事，我们很清楚。

Ye've shipped, have ye? Names down on the papers? Well, well, what's signed, is signed; and what's to be, will be; and then again, perhaps it won't be, after all. 你们已经上了船、签了约，成了那条船上的水手，是吧？约当然要签，该签的吗，该怎么办就要怎么办，当然办了也不会怎么样。
Anyhow, it's all fixed 2 and arranged a'ready; and some sailors or other must go with him, I suppose; 事情已经铁定了，你们要跟他一起远航，反正总得有人要出海的啊！
as well these as any other men, God pity 'em! Morning to ye, shipmates, morning; the ineffable 3 heavens bless ye; I'm sorry I stopped ye. 好啦，祝你们好运气！愿那说起来也是神圣的苍天，保佑你们吧！很抱歉，耽误你们时间了。
