The Law of Club and Tooth－1 Excerpt from The Call of the Wild 淘金潮时期，米勒法官家的爱犬巴克本被贩卖到寒冷的阿拉斯加，它历经了重重磨难，最终回归到大自然。 下一页 上一页 名著选萃 Buck's first day on the beach was like a nightmare①. Every hour was filled with shock or surprise.② He had been suddenly removed from civilization and thrown into③ the heart of a primitive④ world. Here there was neither peace nor rest, nor⑤ a moment's safety. It was essential to be constantly alert, for these dogs and men were not town dogs and men. They were savages (野蛮人；凶狠残暴的人) who knew no law but the law of club and tooth (棍棒与犬牙法则)． 下一页 上一页 名著选萃 ①此处为比喻句。 ②此处为无生命名词作主语。 ③本句中被动语态及动词throw显示出巴克的无措。 ④primitive adj.原始的；远古的 ⑤并列连词neither...nor...nor表示强调。 下一页 上一页 名著选萃 He had never seen dogs fight like these, and his first experience taught him an unforgettable lesson⑥. He was fortunate that it was Curly who was the victim, not himself. Curly, in her friendly way, tried to make friends with a husky dog (哈士奇). The dog was the size of a full-grown wolf, but not half as large as Curly was. There was no warning: only a fast jump, a metallic cut of teeth, and a jump back⑦. Curly's face was ripped open from eye to mouth. 下一页 上一页 名著选萃 It was wolf fighting, to strike⑧ and jump away, but there was more to it than this. Thirty or forty huskies ran to watch. They surrounded the fighters in a silent, watching circle, all licking their lips. Curly rushed at the husky, who struck again and jumped away. He met her next rush with his chest in a strange way that knocked her over. She never got up again. This was what the watching huskies had waited for. They closed in⑨ on her, snarling (龇牙低吼) and yelping. Curly was buried, screaming in pain, under the dogs' bodies.⑩ 下一页 上一页 名著选萃 It was so sudden and unexpected that⑪ Buck was surprised. He saw Spitz watching, laughing. Francois jumped into the middle of the dogs, helped by three men with clubs and the dogs soon ran away. But Curly lay lifeless in the bloody snow. This scene often came back to Buck. This was the way of his new world. No fair play. Once you were down, that was the end. He would be careful not to go down. Spitz laughed again, and from that moment Buck hated him. 下一页 上一页 名著选萃 Buck soon received another shock. Francois fastened him into a harness (挽具). He had seen them before on horses when they were working. And he was set to work, pulling Francois on a sled to the forest around the valley, returning with firewood⑫. He didn't like it, but he was too clever to rebel; he did his best although it was all new and strange. The other dogs—Spitz, the leader, and Dave, nearest the sled—with Francois and his whip, soon taught Buck how to behave when pulling the sled. 下一页 上一页 名著选萃 Perrault brought three more dogs to make up⑬ the team of six to pull the sled. Two brother huskies were called Billie and Joe, and an old husky who was blind in one eye was called Sol-leks, which⑭ means “angry one”. Spitz attacked the new dogs, and beat Billie, but not Joe. Sol-leks' only ambition, like Dave's, was to be left alone. Although, as Buck was to learn later, each of them had another and even more vital ambition. 下一页 上一页 名著选萃 That night Buck faced the problem of sleeping. He tried to sleep in the tent, but Perrault and Francois threw things and shouted at him until he ran away. A cold wind was blowing. He lay down on the snow but the frost soon made him stand up. He walked around the camp, but one place was as cold as another. He went back to see what his team-mates were doing. To his great astonishment⑮， they had disappeared. He wandered around⑯ unhappily, looking for them. Suddenly, as⑰ he walked round the tent, the snow gave way under his front feet and there was Billie curled up under the snow like a warm ball. It was another lesson. Buck selected a spot, and dug a hole for himself. In a moment, the heat from his body filled the small space and he was soon asleep. 下一页 上一页 名著选萃 Buck didn't wake up until⑱ he heard the noises of the waking camp.At first he didn't remember where he was. It had snowed in the night and he was completely buried. He was frightened⑲ and thought perhaps he was in a trap. But then he jumped straight up into the bright light of day. He saw the camp in front of him and he knew where he was.Everything came back to him from the walk with Manuel, to the hole he had dug for himself the night before. 下一页 上一页 名著选萃 ⑥teach sb.a lesson给某人一个教训 ⑦本句中并列的名词短语增强了气氛的紧张感。 ⑧strike v．袭击 ⑨close in包围；逼近 ⑩整段场景描写，特别关注加黑动词。 ⑪此处为“so...that...”结构，意为“如此……以至于……”。 ⑫此处为动词-ing形式作状语。 下一页 上一页 名著选萃 ⑬make up补齐 ⑭此处which引导非限制性定语从句。 ⑮to one's astonishment令某人惊讶的是 ⑯wander around闲逛；徘徊 ⑰此处as引导时间状语从句。 ⑱not...until...直到……才…… ⑲frightened adj.害怕的 下一页 上一页 名著选萃 $
