But we had not gone perhaps above a hundredyards, when chancing to turn a corner,

我们俩一致认为，他不过是个骗子，没有得逞!

and looking back as I did so, who should be seen butElijah following us, though at a distance.

说到这儿我下意识地一回头，突然发现他竟在后面跟着我们!

Somehow, the sight of him struck me so, that I saidnothing to Queequeg of his being behind, but passedon with my comrade,

我没有告诉魁魁格我的发现，还照样你一言我一语地前进。

anxious to see whether the stranger would turn the same corner that we did.

我们拐了个弯儿，他也跟着拐了过来，

He did; and then it seemed to me that he was dogging us, but with what intent I could not forthe life of me imagine.

他这无疑是在跟踪我们!不过，他要干什么?我百思不得其解。

This circumstance, coupled with his ambiguous, half-hinting, half-revealing, shrouded sortof talk,

闪烁其辞的话、“裴廓德号”、亚哈船长以及他失去的那条腿、我们签的合同…

now begat in me all kinds of vague wonderments and half-apprehensions, and all connectedwith the Pequod; and Captain Ahab; and the leg he had lost; and the Cape Horn fit;

我心中将这些翻来覆去地想了个遍，还是理不出头绪来。

and the silver calabash; and what Captain Peleg had said of him, when I left the ship the dayprevious;

为了判定一下这个以利亚是不是真的在跟踪我们，我拉着魁魁格走到了路边，看着后面走过来的他。

and the prediction of the squaw Tistig; and the voyage we had bound ourselves to sail; and ahundred other shadowy things.

他却旁若无人地从我们面前走了过去，好像根本没看见我们俩。
