白鲸 Douban
Moby Dick
★ 8.3 (29 ratings) author: [美]赫尔曼·麦尔维尔 translator: 曹庸 publishing house: 上海译文出版社 2007 - 7
赫尔曼·麦尔维尔(1819-1891),美国文学史上最杰出的浪漫主义小说家之一,《白鲸》是他的代表作。
捕鲸船“裴廊德”号船长亚哈,在一次捕鲸过程中,被凶残聪明的白鲸莫比-迪克咬掉了一条腿,因此他满怀复仇之念,一心想追捕这条白鲸,竟至失去理性,变成一个独断独行的偏热症狂。他的船几乎兜遍了全世界经历辗转,终于与莫比-迪克遭遇。经过三天追踪,他用鱼叉击中白鲸,但船被白鲸撞破,亚哈被鱼叉上的绳子缠住,带人海中。全船人落海,只有水手以实玛利(《圣经》中人名,意为被遗弃的人)一人得救,来向人们讲述这个故事。作者赋予莫比-迪克的白色象征天真无邪和恐怖,以白鲸象征善和恶的混合,这也是人世的基本状况。这部小说以充实的思想内容、史诗船的规模和成熟、深思性质的文笔,成为传世佳作。

"It's just a matter of trial and error. You try something, it doesn't work. You try it another way, maybe it works even less well, or maybe it works a little bit better. It really is the dark room that Henry James describes. It's a sort of groping, and continuously trying things out, and understanding why something fails. The key is to try to understand what are the elements that are failing, and why, and then you move on to the next draft with a little bit more of clarity."
