mapple

At the time I now write of , Father Mapple was in the hardy winter of a healthy old age ;

当我这会儿写他的时候，梅普尔神甫正是处于岁寒不雕。老当益壮的时期；

Father Mapple rose , and in a mild voice of unassuming authority ordered the scattered people to condense .

梅普尔神甫站了起来，以一种谦逊的长者的柔和声气，命令四散的人群聚拢来。

Yes , it was the famous Father Mapple , so called by the whalemen , among whom he was a very great favorite .

不错，他就要著名的梅普尔神甫，他在捕鲸者中真是一个深获爱戴的人。

Yes , it was the famous father mapple , so called by the whalemen , among whom he was a very favorite .

不错，他就是著名的麦普耳神甫，捕鲸者都这样称呼他，他在捕鲸者中真是一个深获爱戴的人。

No one having previously heard his history , could for the first time behold Father Mapple without the utmost interest , because there were certain engrafted clerical peculiarities about him , imputable to that adventurous maritime life he had led .

事先不知梅普尔神甫生平的人，初次看到了他，都不免要发生极大的兴趣，因为他的举止所表现出来的牧师的某些特点，都可以说跟他所经历过的出生入死的水上生活有关。

I pondered some time without fully comprehending the reason for this . Father Mapple enjoyed such a wide reputation for sincerity and sanctity , that I could not suspect him of courting notoriety by any mere tricks of the stage .

我对这事情百思而不得其解.梅普尔神甫已因真诚和圣洁而拥有如此名震遐迩的声誉，我怎能怀疑他不过是靠任何狡诈手法才博得赫赫名声呢。
