And before long, we heard that call that all whalemen pray for.

过不久 我们听到所有捕鲸人 祈求的呼唤。

But will any whaleman believe these stories?

但是，哪个捕鲸者会相信这些故事呢？

Glurry, so called, is a term properly belonging to right whalemen, but sometimes incidentally used by the sperm fishermen.

所谓“肉屑”是一个专门用于露脊鲸的术语，但有时偶尔也被捕抹香鲸的人使用。

I confess, that since Jonah, few whalemen have penetrated very far beneath the skin of the adult whale; nevertheless, I have been blessed with an opportunity to dissect him in miniature.

我承认，自约拿之后，很少有捕鲸者钻到过成年鲸鱼皮肤下很深很深的地方；然而，我曾经有幸获得一次解剖小鲸的机会。

Of all the wondrous devices and dexterities, the sleights of hand and countless subtleties, to which the veteran whaleman is so often forced, none exceed that fine manoeuvre with the lance called pitchpoling.

在捕鲸老手经常被迫使用的所有奇妙设备和技巧、各种熟练手法和数不尽的妙计之中，莫过于巧妙运用叫作投杆的那种鱼枪了。

See with what entire freedom the whaleman takes his handful of lamps—often but old bottles and vials, though—to the copper cooler at the tryworks, and replenishes them there, as mugs of ale at a vat.

你看，捕鲸者如何无拘无束地拿着一大把的灯盏——尽管它们往往不过是大大小小的旧瓶子——到炼油间铜制的冷却器那里，把灯装满了油，就像在大酒桶里灌满一杯杯麦芽酒。

A whaleman's nipper is a short firm strip of tendinous stuff cut from the tapering part of Leviathan's tail: it averages an inch in thickness, and for the rest, is about the size of the iron part of a hoe.

捕鲸者的滚子是从鲸鱼尾巴变细的部分切下来的一条短而结实的腱质物；平均有一英寸厚，大小和锄头的锄板相仿。
