《白鲸》Moby Dic是19世纪美国最重要的小说家之一赫尔曼·麦尔维尔的一篇海洋题材小说。全书的焦点集中于南太平洋一条名叫莫比·迪克的白鲸，以及捕鲸船皮廓德(Pequod)号的船长阿哈(Ahab)如何对它有不共戴天的仇恨。阿哈在一次航行中被莫比·迪克咬掉一条腿，立志报仇，指挥皮廓德号环航全球追踪，终于发现了它。经过三天放下小艇紧追。虽然刺中了这条白鲸，但它十分顽强狡猾，咬碎了小艇，也撞沉了大船。它拖着捕鲸船游开时，绳子套住阿哈，把他绞死了。全船人尽皆灭顶。只有一个水手借着由棺材改制的救生浮子而逃得性命。整个故事以这个水手伊希梅尔(Ishmael)自述的方式展开。 Clancy A whaler Anecdotes At the beginning of the 20th century Australia Whalers, killer whales and baleen whales The killer whale helped the whalers to kill a baleen whale Fill in the blanks with the names mentioned in the text. 1. ________was 16 years of age when he went to work at the whaling station. 2._________orderd Clancy to go to the boat as there was a whale out there in the bay. 3. _________was swimming by the boat showing the whalers the way. 4._______told Clancy that they would return the next day to bring in the body of the whale. 5._________was carried by the waves further and further away from the whalers. 6. _____knew that Old Tom would protect James. 1.
