Chapter 4: Captain Ahab

Capítulo 4: Capitán Ahab

Captain Ahab was unlike any other captain I had ever seen. He rarely spoke to the crew and spent most of his time alone on the deck, staring at the sea with intense eyes. He seemed to be searching for something.

El Capitán Ahab era diferente a cualquier otro capitán que yo hubiera visto. Rara vez hablaba con la tripulación y pasaba la mayor parte de su tiempo solo en la cubierta, mirando al mar con ojos intensos. Parecía estar buscando algo.

I learned that Ahab had lost his leg to a great white whale called Moby Dick. This whale was famous among sailors for its size and ferocity. Ahab had sworn revenge and was hunting this creature across the oceans.

Supe que Ahab había perdido su pierna ante una gran ballena blanca llamada Moby Dick. Esta ballena era famosa entre los marineros por su tamaño y ferocidad. Ahab había jurado venganza y estaba cazando a esta criatura a través de los océanos.

The other crew members respected Ahab for his knowledge and experience, but some were worried about his obsession. They feared that his desire for revenge would endanger the entire ship and everyone on it.

Los otros miembros de la tripulación respetaban a Ahab por su conocimiento y experiencia, pero algunos estaban preocupados por su obsesión. Temían que su deseo de venganza pusiera en peligro a todo el barco y a todos en él.
