All our arguing with him would not avail; let him be, I say:

愿上天保佑，保佑基督徒和异教徒们吧，

and Heaven have mercy on us all—Presbyterians and Pagans alike—for we are all somehow dreadfully cracked about the head, and sadly need mending.

因为大家都还不知是怎么回事就已碰得头破血流了。

Towards evening, when I felt assured that all his performances and rituals must be over, I went up to his room and knocked at the door; but no answer.

终于到了日暮时分，我相信他的仪式已经结束了，于是走上楼去敲门，没有动静；

I tried to open it, but it was fastened inside. Queequeg, said I softly through the key-hole:all silent.

推了推，门反锁着。

I say, Queequeg! why don't you speak? It's I—Ishmael. But all remained still as before.

魁魁格！我冲着钥匙眼儿喊，还是没反应。

I began to grow alarmed. I had allowed him such abundant time; I thought he might have had an apoplectic fit.

还是没有一点动静。 我有点慌了。是不是中风了？

I looked through the key-hole; but the door opening into an odd corner of the room, the key-hole prospect was but a crooked and sinister one.

我趴在钥匙眼儿上往里看，

I could only see part of the foot-board of the bed and a line of the wall, but nothing more.

只能看到房间的一角儿，没什么异样。
