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，的船头突起的部分插黄蜂号的里去了。

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

当斯图亚特见涌过来的巨浪，忙往帆的那里跳去，可是却已经太晚了。

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

“现在回前桅那里，把帆张满！”黄蜂号的船主叫。

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

斯图亚特抓住前桅帆的帆脚，尽可能地将其拉满。

" 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！降三角帆！降帆！” 斯图亚特往升降跑去，拉了三角帆和前桅。

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.

随着一阵可怕的嘶嘶声，纵帆船的速度慢了来，所有的帆也都被风猛烈地吹动着, 就在那时斯图亚特听了一阵撕裂声，看了正向船的撞去的莉莲号的船头，感觉从船头船尾都有一种可怕的力量在撞击。

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做成的冗长的绳梯，而是像流星一般，纷纷从分开的后和升降上滑落甲板，亚哈没有那样猛冲来，但也迅速地从他的瞭望处降了来。
