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

当斯图亚特见到涌过来巨浪，忙往帆支索那里跳去，可是却已经太晚了。

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

“现在回到前桅支索那里，把帆张满！”黄蜂号主叫。

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，因为起部分插到黄蜂号支索里去了。

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。

" 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。

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，看到了正向支索撞去莉莲号，感觉从到尾都有一种可怕力量在撞击。
