Oh, sir, it will break bones—beware, beware!

啊，先生，它會(huì)鉗碎骨頭的——小心，小心！

No fear; I like a good grip; I like to feel something in this slippery world that can hold, man. What's Prometheus about there?— the blacksmith, I mean—what's he about?

怕什么；我就喜歡好鉗力；在這個(gè)活里活絡(luò)的世界上，我就喜歡碰碰鉗得住的東西，老朋友。那個(gè)普洛米修斯（普洛米修斯——希臘神話中那個(gè)拿火給人類(lèi)的神，這里借指鐵匠。）在那邊忙些什么？——我說(shuō)的是那個(gè)鐵匠——他在忙些什么呀？

He must be forging the buckle-screw, sir, now.

啊，先生，這會(huì)兒，他一定是在打旋釘。

Right. It's a partnership; he supplies the muscle part. He makes a fierce red flame there!

對(duì)，這就是合作互助；他供給筋肉方面的東西。他正在那邊燒起通紅的火焰！

Aye, sir; he must have the white heat for this kind of fine work.

是呀，先生，要做這種精巧活兒，就得有白熱。

Um-m. So he must. I do deem it now a most meaning thing, that that old Greek, Prometheus, who made men, they say, should have been a blacksmith, and animated them with fire; for what's made in fire must properly belong to fire; and so hell's probable. How the soot flies! This must be the remainder the Greek made the Africans of. Carpenter, when he's through with that buckle, tell him to forge a pair of steel shoulder-blades; there's a pedlar aboard with a crushing pack.

唔——唔。他是一定要有白熱。我承認(rèn)這是樁最有意義的事情，據(jù)說(shuō)那個(gè)古希臘人，那個(gè)創(chuàng)造了人類(lèi)的普洛米修斯，原來(lái)也必定是干過(guò)鐵匠的，他這才使人類(lèi)火氣十足；因?yàn)榉彩腔鹱龀傻臇|西，當(dāng)然就一定屬于火；地獄可能也是這樣。那煙炱騰得多高！這一定是那個(gè)希臘人創(chuàng)造了非洲人剩下來(lái)的東西。木匠，等他打完了螺旋釘后，要他打一副鋼肩胛骨；船上還有一個(gè)販子給擔(dān)子壓得透不過(guò)氣來(lái)呢。

Sir?

先生？

Hold; while Prometheus is about it, I'll order a complete man after a desirable pattern.

住嘴，趁普洛米修斯正在忙著，我倒要他按照我合意的樣式做出個(gè)完整的人來(lái)。
