Stuart grabbed the foresail boom and pulled with all his might.

斯图亚特抓住前桅支索帆帆脚，尽可能地将其拉满。

The Lillian B. Womrath couldn't move because her nose was stuck in the Wasp's rigging.

莉莲· B·沃拉尔号也是，因为她船头突分插到黄蜂号支索里去了。

" Now back your foresail and give her a full! " screamed the owner of the Wasp.

“现在回到前桅支索那里，把帆张满！”黄蜂号船主叫。

When Stuart saw the great wave approaching he jumped for the rigging, but he was too late.

当斯图亚特见到过来巨浪，忙往帆支索那里跳去，可是却已经太晚了。

After dealing with the forestay wire, Lisa disconnected the final two pieces of rigging.

处理完前帆支索后，丽莎解开了最后两件索具。

The first is the backstay wire, running from the top of the mast to the stern.

首先是后支索，从桅延伸至船尾。

Fighting to keep her balance, she locates the backstay wire and squeezes the bolt cutters.

她奋力保持平衡，找到了后支索，并紧握断线钳。

Lisa repositions herself above the backstay wire.

莉萨重新调整自己位置，悬于后支索上方。

" Stuart! Stuart! Down jib! Down staysail! " Stuart jumped for the halyards, and the jib and the forestaysail came rippling down.

“斯图亚特！斯图亚特！降下三角帆！降下支索帆！” 斯图亚特往升降索跑去，拉下了三角帆和前桅支索。

The next piece of rigging to tackle is the inner forestay wire at the front of the vessel.

接下来要处理是船首内前支索。

Unmindful of the tedious rope-ladders of the shrouds, the men, like shooting stars, slid to the deck, by the isolated backstays and halyards; while Ahab, less dartingly, but still rapidly was dropped from his perch.

水手们毫不理睬那些用侧支索做成冗长绳梯，而是像流星一般，纷纷从分开后支索和升降索上滑落到甲板，亚哈没有那样猛冲下来，但也迅速地从他瞭望处降了下来。

Just at this moment Stuart heard a splintering crash, saw the bow of the Lillian plow through his rigging, and felt the whole ship tremble from stem to stern with the force of the collision.

随着一阵可怕嘶嘶声，纵帆船速度慢了下来，所有帆也都被风猛烈地吹动着, 就在那时斯图亚特听到了一阵撕裂声，看到了正向船支索撞去莉莲号船头，感觉从船头到船尾都有一种可怕力量在撞击。
