10、edge. he knew that he could not crawl half a mile. and yet he wanted to live. it was unreasonable that he should die after all he had undergone. fate asked too much of him. and , dying, he declined to die. it was stark madness, perhaps, but in the very grip of death he defied death and refused to di

13、lchemy of soul, he would find another shred of will and strike out more strongly.他閉上眼睛，設(shè)法使自己平靜下來，不敢有絲毫的松懈。令人窒息的疲倦像漲 潮一樣，從他的身體各處涌來，他還是頑強(qiáng)地打醒精神，不讓自己被疲倦淹沒。 這種要命的疲倦，就像大海一樣，一浪又一浪地漲過來，一點(diǎn)一點(diǎn)地吞噬著他 的意識。有時(shí)候，他被完全淹沒其中，就這樣默默地漂游而有時(shí)候，憑借一種奇異的心靈作用，他又找回了些許精神力量，更加堅(jiān)毅地前進(jìn)。without movement he lay on his back, and he could h

15、ut. the fingers were curved like talons, but they closed on empty air. swiftness and certitude require strength, and the man had not this strength.他一動(dòng)不動(dòng)的躺著，耳邊傳來病狼一呼一吸的喘氣聲，并且這聲音正慢慢地向 他逼近。狼愈走愈近，好像過了很久一樣，但是他始終躺著沒有動(dòng)。這時(shí)狼已 經(jīng)到了他的耳邊，那條粗糙的狼舌頭就像砂紙一樣蹭著他的兩腮。他的雙手一 下子就抓了過去一一或者說是他的意志力迫使他的雙手抓過去。他的手指彎曲 得就像鷹爪一樣，可是他卻抓

16、了一個(gè)空，敏捷和準(zhǔn)確是需要力氣的，而他偏偏 就沒有力氣。the patience of the wolf was terrible. the mans patience was no less terrible.那頭狼的耐心真是令人可怕，而他的耐心同樣令人可怕。for half a day he lay motionless, fighting off unconsciousness and waiting for the thing that was to feed upon him and upon which he wished to feed. sometimes the langui

17、d sea rose over him and he dreamed longs dreams but ever through it all, waking and dreaming, he waited for the wheezing breath and the harsh caress of the tongue.這一天，有一大半的時(shí)間他就這樣靜靜地躺著，努力不讓自己昏迷過去，靜靜 地等著那只想一口吃掉他，他也想一口一口吃掉的動(dòng)物。有時(shí)候當(dāng)疲倦襲來， 他會(huì)昏昏沉沉地做起長長的夢。然而，不管他是醒著還是做著夢，他一直在等 待著那陣喘息的聲音，還有舔過來的粗糙舌頭。he did not

21、on his back and slept.他并沒有聽見那陣喘息聲，當(dāng)他從夢中慢慢蘇醒過來的時(shí)候，他感覺那頭狼正 在舔著他的一只手。他依然靜靜地等著。狼牙已經(jīng)輕輕地扣在他的手上，壓力 感漸漸加強(qiáng)，那頭狼正在盡最后一點(diǎn)力量把牙齒咬進(jìn)它等待很久的獵物上?？?是他也同樣等了很久，那只撕裂的手扳住了狼的下顆。就這樣，狼在微弱地掙 扎著，那只手也無力地扳著，慢慢地，另一只手也騰了過來掐了過去。在爭斗 了五分鐘后，那人已經(jīng)把狼死死地按在下面。他雙手的力量不足以掐死那頭狼， 可是他的臉已經(jīng)緊緊地貼在了狼的咽喉上，一堆狼毛也緊緊扎進(jìn)了他的嘴里。 半個(gè)小時(shí)后，他感到了一股暖和的液體某某某地流進(jìn)了他的喉嚨，那感覺

22、可真 難受，就好像鉛液被灌進(jìn)了他的胃里一樣，完全是靠他的意志給硬灌下去的。 后來，他翻了個(gè)身，仰面睡著了。there were some members of a scientific expedition on the whale- shipbedford. from the deck they remarked a strange object on the shore. itwas moving down the beach toward the water. they were unable to classify it, and,being scientific men, they climbed into the whale boat alongside and went ashore to see. and they saw some thing that was alive but which could hardlu be called a man. it was blind, unconscious. it squirmed along the ground like somemonstrous
