She never stood up again, because this was what the other dogs were waiting for.
她再也没有站起来,因为这正是其他的狗等待的。

他们冲了进来,然后不一会儿,她就葬身在数条狗的撕扯践踏之下了。
It was all very sudden.
这一切都发生的那么突然。
Buck saw Spitz run out from the crowd with his tongue out of his mouth, laughing.
巴克看见斯皮兹从狗群中跑出来,耷拉着舌头,脸上还挂着微笑。
Then he saw Francois with an axe, and two or three other men with clubs jump in among the dogs .
然后他看见弗朗索瓦斯手拿斧头和另外两三个人拿着木棍跳进狗群。
Two minutes later the last of the dogs was chased away.
两分钟之后,最后一只狗也被赶开了。
But Curly lay dead in the snow , her body torn almost to pieces .
但是科莉已经倒死在雪地上,她几乎被撕成了碎片。
Curly's death often came back to Buck in his dreams.

Francois put a harness on him.
弗朗索瓦斯把腕具套在他的身上。
Buck had seen harnesses on horses, and now he was made to work like a horse, pulling Francois on a sledge into the forest and returning with wood for the fire.

Buck worked with Spitz and Dave.
巴克和斯皮兹还有戴夫一起工作。
The two other dogs had worked in a harness before, and Buck learnt by watching them.

He also learnt to stop and turn when Francois shouted.
他还学会了在弗朗索瓦斯叫喊时停下来和转身。
