Now, look here, bred'ren, just try wonst to be cibil, a helping yourselbs from dat whale. Don't be tearin' de blubber out your neighbour's mout, I say. Is not one shark dood right as toder to dat whale? And, by Gor, none on you has de right to dat whale; dat whale belong to some one else. I know some o' you has berry brig mout, brigger dan oders; but den de brig mouts sometimes has de small bellies; so dat de brigness of de mout is not to swallar wid, but to bit off de blubber for de small fry ob sharks, dat can't get into de scrouge to help demselves."

那么，聽著，同胞們，不妨試一試，你們吃那條鯨，吃得文雅些。我說，別搶走你們的鄰居嘴巴里的鯨脂。你們對這條鯨不是誰都沒有什么權(quán)利么？千真萬確，你們對那條鯨是誰都沒有什么權(quán)利的；那條鯨是另一個人的。我知道你們里頭有些嘴巴很大，比別人大；不過，有大嘴巴的，有的肚皮卻很?。凰?，大嘴巴就不該大口地吞，應(yīng)該給那些小鯊魚咬出點(diǎn)鯨脂來，它們都搶不到油水，吃不到東西。"

再說下去也沒有用。這些該死的家伙還是要不停地?cái)D來擠去，你打我，我打你，斯塔布先生。它們一句話都沒有聽進(jìn)去，對這些你管它們叫做該死的貪心鬼講道是沒有用的，要等它們裝滿了肚皮再說，它們的肚皮又是沒底的；待到它們裝滿了肚皮，那時候，它們又不聽你了；因?yàn)樗鼈円谎b滿了肚皮，就沉到海里去，連忙躺在珊瑚上去睡大覺，根本就什么也聽不進(jìn)了，再也不來聽你了，永生永世都不來聽你了。

Upon my soul, I am about of the same opinion; so give the benediction, Fleece, and I'll away to my supper.

確確實(shí)實(shí)，我差不多也有同樣看法；所以給它們做祝禱吧，弗里斯，我要去吃晚飯啦。

Upon this, Fleece, holding both hands over the fishy mob, raised his shrill voice, and CRIed—

聽到這么說，弗里斯就對著魚群拱起雙手，提起他那尖聲尖氣的調(diào)門，叫了起來：
