In no time the ship begins to lift and roll. The curtains swing. Lightning illuminates the whole ship.

船体即刻上下左右摇摆。帘子被吹得乱颤，闪电照亮了整个船舱。

It could drag the whole whaling ship.

它可以拖拽整艘捕鲸船。

I think that if the weather had remained calm I would have brought the whole ship away piece by piece.

我想，如果天气保持平静， 我会把整艘船一块一块地运走。

And so I was the only girl in the team and the whole ship, so I got away without sleeping on the floor.

我是整个团队和整搜船上的唯一女性，所以我可以不用睡在地板上。

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，纵帆船的速度慢了下来，所有的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，看到了正向船的支索撞去的莉莲号的船头，感觉从船头到船尾都有一种可怕的力量在撞击。

You only had to dig up some rocks or sink a drill into the ground — no need for the whole ship voyage, the danger, all that Moby Dick stuff that can happen at sea.

你只需要挖一些岩石或在地下钻一个钻头——不需要整个航程，不需要危险，不需要海上可能发生的所有莫比迪克之事。
