About the book
Ishmael joins the whaling ship Pequod, commanded by Captain Ahab, who is obsessed with hunting a great white whale. The novel mixes sea adventure with detailed accounts of whaling.
From the text
“He was ever dusting his old lexicons and grammars, with a queer handkerchief, mockingly embellished with all the gay flags of all the known nations of the world.”
Moby-Dick · Herman Melville

It will be seen that this mere painstaking burrower and grub-worm of a poor devil of a Sub-Sub appears to have gone through the long Vaticans and street-stalls of the earth, picking up whatever random allusions to whales he could anyways find in any book whatsoever, sacred or profane.
불쌍한 서브 서브라는 이 고된 굴 파는 벌레 같은 녀석이 지구 곳곳의 긴 바티칸과 길거리 노점들을 돌아다니며 성서든 세속서든 어떤 책에서든 고래에 대한 무작위적인 언급들을 주워 모은 것이 분명해 보일 것이다.
Therefore you must not, in every case at least, take the higgledy-piggledy whale statements, however authentic, in these extracts, for veritable gospel cetology.
그러므로 적어도 모든 경우에 있어서, 이 발췌문에 나오는 뒤죽박죽 고래 진술들을, 아무리 사실이라 할지라도, 진정한 복음서의 고래론으로 받아들여서는 안 됩니다.
Far from it.
전혀 그렇지 않습니다.
As touching the ancient authors generally, as well as the poets here appearing, these extracts are solely valuable or entertaining, as affording a glancing bird’s eye view of what has been promiscuously said, thought, fancied, and sung of Leviathan, by many nations and generations, including our own.
일반적으로 고대 저자들과 여기에 등장하는 시인들에 관하여 말하자면, 이 발췌문들은 우리 시대를 포함하여 여러 나라와 세대가 레비아탄에 대해 무분별하게 말하고, 생각하고, 상상하고, 노래해 온 것을 한눈에 볼 수 있게 해 주는 점에서만 가치 있거나 재미있을 뿐입니다.
So fare thee well, poor devil of a Sub-Sub, whose commentator I am.
그러니 잘 가라, 불쌍한 서브 서브야, 나는 너의 주석자이다.
Thou belongest to that hopeless, sallow tribe which no wine of this world will ever warm; and for whom even Pale Sherry would be too rosy-strong; but with whom one sometimes loves to sit, and feel poor-devilish, too; and grow convivial upon tears; and say to them bluntly, with full eyes and empty glasses, and in not altogether unpleasant sadness—Give it up, Sub-Subs!
너는 세상 어떤 포도주도 마음을 녹일 수 없는, 희망 없고 창백한 무리에 속해 있구나. 너희에게는 옅은 셰리주조차 너무 장밋빛이고 강렬하게 느껴질 텐데, 가끔은 너희와 함께 앉아 불쌍한 마음에 눈물을 흘리며 담소를 나누고, 눈물로 위로받으며, 눈물 가득한 눈과 빈 잔을 들고, 그리 불쾌하지 않은 슬픔 속에서 단도직입적으로 말하고 싶어지는 그런 부류 말이지. "포기해, 서브섭스!"
For by how much the more pains ye take to please the world, by so much the more shall ye for ever go thankless!
세상을 기쁘게 하려고 애쓸수록 너희는 더욱더 감사할 줄 모르는 자가 될 것이다!
Would that I could clear out Hampton Court and the Tuileries for ye!
내가 너를 위해 햄프턴 코트와 튈르리 궁전을 깨끗이 치워줄 수 있다면 얼마나 좋을까!
