第17章 齋戒

As Queequeg's Ramadan, or Fasting and Humiliation,was to continue all day, I did not choose to disturbhim till towards night-fall;

魁魁格的“齋戒”大概要做一天，所以我不急于回旅店。

for I cherish the greatest respect towardseverybody's religious obligations, never mind howcomical,

我尊重每一個(gè)人的宗教信仰，

and could not find it in my heart to undervalue evena congregation of ants worshipping a toad-stool;

哪怕他的信仰有點(diǎn)像螞蟻向毒蘑菇行禮似的可笑。

or those other creatures in certain parts of our earth, who with a degree of footmanism quiteunprecedented in other planets,

其實(shí)，我們的星球上不是還有那些以一種其他星球所未見(jiàn)

bow down before the torso of a deceased landed proprietor merely on account of theinordinate possessions yet owned and rented in his name.

的卑躬屈膝匍匐在一具尸體前的景象嗎?只因?yàn)槟蔷呤w活著的時(shí)候有大片的土地，死后的遺產(chǎn)中也有大片土地。

I say, we good Presbyterian Christians should be charitable in these things, and not fancyourselves so vastly superior to other mortals, pagans and what not, because of their half-crazyconceits on these subjects.

即使如此，我也找不到蔑視他們的理由。 善良的基督徒們啊，我們應(yīng)該慈悲為懷，不要因?yàn)槿祟?lèi)成員中的一些人有些別的什么想法，我們就自以為高人一等。

There was Queequeg, now, certainly entertaining the most absurd notions about Yojo and hisRamadan;but what of that?

魁魁格對(duì)約約的齋戒也許在你看來(lái)不乏可笑之處，可那又有什么呢?

Queequeg thought he knew what he was about, I suppose; he seemed to be content; and therelet him rest.

只要他本人做得自然和諧、心安理得，那就夠了!
