抓住这机，亚哈头出了些捕鲸索，然后迅速地又拉又抖——想把些缠结的地方解开——就在这，看哪！——比鲨鱼那严阵以待的牙齿还要可怕的景象出现了！

Here the trees, laden heavily with their new and humid leaves, were now suffering more damage than during the highest winds of winter, when the boughs are especially disencumbered to do battle with the storm.

这片树了茂盛的湿润新叶，现在正在遭受比冬季风力最强还要大的伤害，冬季的树枝是专门把树叶脱落了来跟风暴搏斗。
