奎克(Queequeg)坚信,如果一个人决心生存,这种疾病将永远无法杀死他,而唯一可以结束他生命的是鲸鱼,暴风雨或任何其他暴力,破坏性和内在的力量。
(Queequeg was convinced that if a man was determined to live, the disease would never be able to kill him and that the only thing that could end his life was a whale, a storm or any other violent, destructive and immanent force of that nature.)
