1、-B1 Unit 7 Text 1 英汉对照(原Unit9)课文一野性的呼唤杰克伦敦1 巴克是一条大狗，过去生活在南方。时值1897年，一个人们带着狗匆匆赶往加拿大西北部探宝淘金的年头。巴克被人偷走，带到了北方。对它而言，这里过于靠近荒原，是一个完全陌生、充满危险的地方。巴克是怎样设法让自己适应这一新生活的？请阅读下面这篇课文，它选自杰克伦敦的著名小说，由尼克布拉德简写而成。2 巴克与米勒一家人住在一起。米勒先生的房子很大，地处阳光明媚的圣克拉拉山谷。房屋四周是大花园和长满果树的田地。附近还有一条河流。在这样一个大地方，自然有许多狗。有家庭豢养的狗，也有农场上的狗。但它们都不重要。巴克是领头狗

2、，它就在这儿出生，这儿就是它的地盘。它四岁，体重六十公斤。它跟米勒先生的儿子们一同去游泳，随他的女儿们一道去散步，它把那几个孙子孙女驮在背上。冬天的时候，它伏在米勒先生的脚边，依偎在炉火前。3 时值1897年。巴克不知道，有许多人，带着许多狗，正纷纷赶往加拿大西北部去淘金。它也不知道曼纽埃尔，也就是米勒先生的一个花匠，需要钞票来养活他那一大家子人。一天，米勒先生出去了。曼纽埃尔与巴克一道儿离开了花园。巴克以为这不过是一次傍晚的遛跶。他们离开时没有一个人看到，而他们到达火车站时也只有一个人见到他们。这个人同曼纽埃尔说了几句话，给了他一些钱，然后将一根绳索套在巴克的脖子上。4 巴克咆哮着。当颈部的

3、绳子被勒紧时，它惊慌地跳起来，扑向那个人。那个人抓住了它。突然之间巴克便到了那个人的背上，舌头也伸了出来。有那么一会儿，它根本无法动弹。那两个人轻而易举就把它塞进了火车。 5 巴克醒来时，火车仍在行驶。那个人坐在一边，盯着巴克。巴克迅速扑向他，狠狠地咬那个人的手。但这时绳索又被勒紧了，巴克只好松口。 6 当天晚上，那个人将巴克带到旧金山一间酒吧的里屋中，解下巴克身上的绳索，然后把它推进一只木箱子里。第二天巴克随着那只箱子被抬到火车站，装上了开往北方的火车。火车向北一直开了两天两夜。而这两天两夜里，巴克既没进食也没饮水。两天两夜里，巴克怒火中烧，又饿又渴。它双眼充血，见到移动的东西就咬。 7 到

4、了西雅图之后，四个男子把巴克带到一个面积不大、围墙高高的后院。一个身穿红色旧外套的胖子正等在那儿。巴克此时已怒不可遏，它扑腾撕咬着木箱的四侧。那胖子笑了一下，去拿了一把斧子和一根棍棒回来。他用斧子砸木箱的时候，巴克扑向壁板，咆哮着，咬啮着，用牙齿撕扯着断木碎屑。不一会儿，豁口大得足以让巴克跳出去了。8 “来呀，到这儿来，红眼儿，”胖子说道。他丢下斧子，右手操起了棒子。 9 巴克以六十公斤的愤怒之躯扑向胖子。它的嘴大张着，要去咬断他的喉颈。然而，它的利齿马上就要挨到胖子皮肤时，他用棍棒猛揍了它一下。巴克倒落在地。这是它第一次遭人棒打，它一时弄不明白是怎么回事儿。它立起身来，再次扑上前去。棍棒又一

5、次打中了它。它瘫倒在地。嘴上、鼻子上、耳朵上都是血。接着胖子走上前来，又狠狠一记打在巴克鼻子上。一阵巨痛。一次又一次，巴克扑向胖子；一次又一次，它被打倒在地。终于，当巴克又扑过去的时侯，那人把它一棒打翻在地。它不再动弹了。 10 “它叫巴克，”胖子一边读着随箱子一起送来的信，一边自语道。“嗯，巴克，我的好孩子，”他以友好的口气说道：“我们刚才发生了一点小争执。我想我们现在最好停战。你做一条好狗，我们就会成为好朋友。不过，你要是不听话”11 他一边说，一边抚摸着巴克的头。巴克尽管怒火中烧，却没有动弹。胖子给它拿来水和肉。巴克喝了水，然后开始一块一块地从胖子手中叼肉来吃。12 巴克挨打了（它对此很

6、明白），但是它并没有被打垮。它已经懂得：一个手执棍棒的人比它来得强大。每天都有狗被带到这里，并且每一条狗都遭到那个胖子的棍棒。看到这些，巴克明白了：必须顺从一个手持棍棒的人，而此人并非一定要是朋友。 13 一天，一个皮肤黝黑、个子矮小的男子来到这里。他打量着巴克。“这可是条好狗！”他大声说道：“你要多少钱？”14 “三百元。这可是个好价钱，佩罗特，”那个胖子说道。 15 佩罗特笑着赞同道，那确实是个好价钱。他了解狗，也很清楚巴克的确是条出色的狗。“万里挑一，”佩罗特自忖道。16 巴克看到钞票被放到了胖子的手里。所以，当它和另一条名叫柯莉的狗被佩罗特带走时，它并不感到奇怪。佩罗特带它们上了一艘船

7、。那天晚些时候，巴克与柯莉站在船上，眼看着海岸线变得越来越远。这是它们最后一次见到温暖的南方。 17 佩罗特将巴克与柯莉带到底舱。在那儿，它们见到了弗朗索瓦。佩罗特是一个法裔加拿大人，而弗朗索瓦则有一半印地安血统。他高个子，皮肤黧黑。巴克很快就明白佩罗特与弗朗索瓦是好人，沉稳而正派。他们对狗无所不知。 18 船上还有两条狗，其中那条浑身雪白的大狗叫斯皮兹。起初它对巴克很友好，总是面带微笑。开第一顿饭的时候，它就企图偷吃巴克的食物。当时，它就是这样微笑着。巴克还没来得及有所动作，弗朗索瓦就敏捷地打了斯皮兹一下。巴克认定这样做是公道的，便开始有点喜欢弗朗索瓦了。19 另一条狗戴夫显得不友善。它总是

8、想自个儿独处。它吃了睡，睡了吃，对任何事情都不感兴趣。 20 每天的生活大同小异。不过，巴克发现天气变得冷起来了。一天上午，轮船的引擎停了。船上笼罩着一种兴奋的情绪。弗朗索瓦给几只狗套上皮索，带它们下了船。刚迈出第一步，巴克的脚就陷进了某种柔软而洁白的东西之中。它吓得直往后跳。那柔软而洁白的东西从上空飘洒下来，落到巴克的身上。巴克试着去闻它的气味，然后又用舌头接住一些。先是被火燎了一下的感觉，随即那东西就消失了。这是巴克第一次见到雪。21 巴克在戴依海滩上度过了可怕的第一天。每时每刻都有新的、恐怖的意外发生，都危机四伏。这是因为这里的狗和人和城镇里的不一样。他们全都只懂得棍棒加牙齿这条法则。2

9、2 这里的狗打起架来，真让巴克触目惊心它们就象狼一样。是柯莉的遭遇让它在几分钟的时间里就明白了这一点。柯莉试图与一条狗套近乎。突然之间，毫无预警地，那条狗就扑向了柯莉。柯莉的脸立即从眼部撕裂到了嘴巴。三、四十条狗奔拢过来，围成一圈，静静地观望这场争斗。柯莉试图向咬伤它的那条狗发起反击，但那条狗第二次咬住了柯莉，随后又跳开了。柯莉再次扑过去，对方将它撞倒在地上。它再也没能站起来，而这正是那些狗盼望的结局。刹那间，柯莉已身处一群狗的蹄爪之下。23 这一切都发生得如此突然。巴克看见斯皮兹从那群狗里钻出来，舌头耷拉在嘴巴外面，涎着脸笑着。接下来，巴克又看见弗朗索瓦手持斧头、另有二、三个人手执棍棒跳进了

10、狗群中。两分钟后，狗都被赶跑了。柯莉躺在雪地里，早已气绝身亡。它的身体几乎被撕成了碎片。柯莉之死经常重现在巴克的梦境中。它明白了：一只狗一旦倒下，便只有死路一条。它也记得斯皮兹呲牙咧嘴坏笑的样子。自此以后，巴克非常憎恨它。24 不久，巴克又经历了一件让它惊诧的事：弗朗索瓦给它套上了缰绳。巴克以前见过给马套缰绳，可现在它得象一匹马那样干活儿了。与斯皮兹和戴夫一起干；它们俩以前倒是身套缰绳干过活儿来着。巴克通过观察它俩来学习怎样干活儿，它还学会了听着弗朗索瓦的吆喝停下或转弯。25 “这三条狗真是很棒，”弗朗索瓦对佩罗特说：“巴克拉得非常好。它学得真快。” 26 佩罗特有些重要的信件和官方文件要送到

11、多森市。所以，那天下午他又买来两条狗。它们是名叫比利和乔的俩兄弟。27 当天夜里，巴克又发现了一个问题：它该到哪儿去睡觉呢？弗朗索瓦与佩罗特住在帐篷里。可是，巴克进去时，他们就会愤怒地大叫，还把东西向它这边儿扔过来。帐篷外天寒地冻，冷风阵阵。巴克在雪地上躺下来，却又冻得睡不着。 28 它围着帐篷转圈子，想要找到其它的狗。可令它惊讶的是，所有的狗都销声匿迹了。突然，它脚下的积雪陷落下去。巴克感觉到有什么东西在动弹。在那里，在雪堆下面的温暖地洞里，躺着比利。29 原来是这样啊。巴克找了一个地方，给自己挖了一个洞。不一会儿工夫，它便暖暖和和地睡着了。它睡得很好，尽管时有恶梦。 30 醒来后，有那么一

12、刹那，巴克不明白自己是在哪里。夜里下的雪严严实实地堆在它上边。它咆哮着，撞向雪堆。一会儿功夫之后，它便一跃而上，到了光天白日之中。31 当天上午，弗朗索瓦和佩罗特又买了三条狗。一刻钟以后，所有的狗都套着缰绳，奔跑在前往戴依峡谷的路上。又在赶路，巴克却不感到难过。尽管拉雪橇是件苦差事，它还是干得满欢实的。-第 15 页Text OneThe Call of the Wildby Jack London1 Buck, a large dog, used to live in the south. But this was 1897, when men and dogs were hurrying

13、to north-west Canada to look for gold. Buck was stolen and taken to the north, which was entirely new to him, being so close to the dangerous wilderness. How did Buck manage to adapt himself to the new life? Please read the following selection from Jack Londons famous novel simplified by Nick Bullar

14、d. 2 Buck lived in Mr. Millers big house in the sunny Santa Clara valley. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many dogs. There were house dogs and farm dogs, but they were not important. Buck was chi

15、ef dog; he was born here, and this was his place. He was four years old and weighed sixty kilos. He went swimming with Mr. Millers sons, and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr. Millers feet in front of the fire in winter. 3 But this was 1897, and B

16、uck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to north-west Canada to look for gold. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr. Millers gardeners, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr. Miller was out, Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thou

17、ght. No one saw them go, and only one man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Bucks neck. 4 Buck growled, and was surprised when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man. The man caught

18、him and suddenly Buck was on his back with his tongue out of his mouth. For a few moments he was unable to move, and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train. 5 When Buck woke up, the train was still moving. The man was sitting and watching him, but Buck was too quick for him and he bit

19、 the mans hand hard. Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go. 6 That evening, the man took Buck to the back room of a bar in San Francisco. He took off Bucks rope and pushed him into a wooden box. The next day Buck was carried in the box to the railway station and put on a train to the

20、 north. For two days and nights the train traveled north, and for two days and nights Buck neither ate nor drank. For two days and nights Buck got angrier and hungrier and thirstier. His eyes grew red and he bit anything that moved. 7 In Seattle four men took Buck to a small, high-walled back garden

21、, where a fat man in an old red coat was waiting. Buck was now very angry indeed and he jumped and bit at the sides of his box. The fat man smiled and went to get an ax and a club. As the fat man hit the box with his ax, Buck jumped at the sides, growling and biting, pulling with his teeth at the pi

22、eces of broken wood. After a few minutes there was a hole big enough for Buck to get out. 8 Now, come here, red eyes, said the fat man, dropping his ax and taking the club in his right hand. 9 Buck jumped at the man, sixty kilos of anger, his mouth wide open, ready to bite the mans neck. Just before

23、 his teeth touched the skin, the man hit him with the club. Buck fell to the ground. It was the first time anyone had hit him with a club and he did not understand. He stood up, and jumped again. Again the club hit him and he crashed to the ground. There was blood on his nose and mouth and ears. The

24、n the fat man walked up and hit him again, very hard, on the nose. The pain was terrible. Again, Buck jumped at the man and again he was hit to the ground. At last when he jumped, the man knocked him down and he did not move. 10 His name is Buck, said the fat man to himself, reading the letter that

25、had come with the box. Well, Buck, my boy, he said in a friendly voice , weve argued a little, and I think the best thing to do now is to stop. Be a good dog and well be friends. But if youre a bad dog, .11 As he spoke, he touched Bucks head, and although Buck was angry inside, he did not move. When

26、 the man brought him water and meat, Buck drank and then ate the meat, piece by piece, from the mans hand. 12 Buck was beaten (he knew that) but he was not broken. He had learnt that a man with a club was stronger than him. Every day he saw more dogs arrive, and each dog was beaten by the fat man. B

27、uck understood that a man with a club must be obeyed, although he did not have to be a friend. 13 One day a short, dark man came and looked at Buck. Thats a good dog! he cried. How much do you want for him?14 Three hundred dollars. Its a good price, Perrault, said the fat man.15 Perrault smiled and

28、agreed that it was a good price. He knew dogs, and he knew that Buck was an excellent dog. One in ten thousand, Perrault said to himself. 16 Buck saw money put into the fat mans hand, and he was not surprised when he and another dog called Curly were taken away by Perrault. He took them to a ship ,

29、and later that day Buck and Curly stood and watched the coast get further and further away. They had seen the warm south for the last time. 17 Perrault took Buck and Curly down to the bottom of the ship. There they met another man, Franois. Perrault was a French-Canadian, but Franois was half-Indian

30、, tall and dark. Buck learnt quickly that Perrault and Franois were fair men, calm and honest. And they knew everything about dogs. 18 There were two other dogs on the ship. One was a big dog called Spitz, as white as snow. He was friendly to Buck at first, always smiling. He was smiling when he tri

31、ed to steal Bucks food at the first meal. Franois was quick and hit Spitz before Buck had time to move. Buck decided that this was fair, and began to like Franois a little. 19 Dave, the other dog, was not friendly. He wanted to be alone all the time. He ate and slept and was interested in nothing. 2

32、0 One day was very like another, but Buck noticed that the weather was getting colder. One morning, the ships engines stopped, and there was a feeling of excitement in the ship. Franois leashed the dogs and took them outside. At the first step Bucks feet went into something soft and white. He jumped

33、 back in surprise. The soft, white thing was also falling through the air, and it fell onto him. He tried to smell it, and then caught some on his tongue. It bit like fire, and then disappeared. It was his first snow. 21 Bucks first day at Dyea Beach was terrible. Every hour there was some new, frig

34、htening surprise. And every minute there was danger, because these dogs and men were not town dogs and men. They knew only the law of club and tooth. 22 Buck had never seen dogs fight like these dogs; they were like wolves. In a few minutes he learnt this from watching Curly. She tried to make frien

35、ds with a dog. There was no warning. The dog jumped on Curly, whose face was torn open from eye to mouth. Thirty or forty more dogs ran up and made a circle around the fight, watching silently. Curly tried to attack the dog who had bitten her; he bit her a second time , and jumped away. When she att

36、acked him again, he knocked her backwards, and she fell on the ground. She never stood up again, because this was what the other dogs were waiting for. In a moment she was under a crowd of dogs. 23 It was all very sudden. Buck saw Spitz run out from the crowd with his tongue out of his mouth, laughi

37、ng. Then he saw Franois with an ax, and two or three other men with clubs jump in among the dogs. Two minutes later the last of the dogs was chased away. But Curly lay dead in the snow , her body torn almost to pieces. Curlys death often came back to Buck in his dreams. He understood that once a dog

38、 was down on the ground, he was dead. He also remembered Spitz laughing, and from that moment he hated him. 24 Then Buck had another surprise. Franois put a harness on him. Buck had seen harnesses on horses, and now he was made to work like a horse with Spitz and Dave, who had worked in a harness be

39、fore, and Buck learnt by watching them. He also learnt to stop and turn when Franois shouted. 25 Those three are very good dogs, Franois told Perrault. Buck pulls very well, and hes learning quickly.26 Perrault had important letters and official papers to take to Dawson City, so that afternoon he bo

40、ught two more dogs, two brothers called Billee and Joe. 27 That night Buck discovered another problem. Where was he going to sleep? Franois and Perrault were in their tent, but when he went in, they shouted angrily and threw things at him. Outside it was very cold and windy. He lay down in the snow,

41、 but he was too cold to sleep. 28 He walked around the tents trying to find the other dogs. But, to his surprise, they had disappeared. Suddenly, the snow under his feet fell in, and he felt something move. There, in a warm hole under the snow, was Billee. 29 So that was what you had to do. Buck cho

42、se a place, dug himself a hole and in a minute he was warm and asleep. He slept well, although his dreams were bad. 30 When he woke up, at first he did not know where he was. It had snowed in the night and the snow now lay thick and heavy above him. Growling, he threw himself at the snow, and a moment later, he had jumped upwards into the daylight. 31 Franois and Perrault bought three more dogs that morning, and a quarter of an hour later all the dogs were in harness and on their way up the Dyea Canyon. Buck was not sorry to be moving, and although it was hard work, he almost enjoyed it.
