一、Love And The Lair 爱与巢穴
It was winter. Snow and ice covered the land. The land was silent and empty. It was the Wild. But in these dark, cold winter forests in Northland，there was life.
凛冬已至。冰雪覆盖了整个大地，一片寂寥空旷。虽然这里是荒郊野外，但在北方黑暗寒冷的冬季森林里，却依然有生命存在。
The she-wolf was at the front of the pack. She was large and an unusual color for a wolf —— reddish. Next to her were two males. One was a large gray wolf who wanted the she-wolf as a mate. On her right side was another, older wolf, called One Eye. He was blind in his left eye. And he，too，wanted her as a mate.
一只母狼屹立在狼群的最前面。她体型硕大，毛色泛着微红——这颜色于狼而言很不寻常。她的身侧站立着两只公狼。其中一头是一只大灰狼，他希望这只母狼能成为他的配偶。她的右侧是另一只年长些的狼，江湖人称独眼狼，因为他的左眼瞎了。他也希望她成为自己的伴侣。
They ran all that day, through the night, and the next day. The world was frozen and dead.Only the wolves were alive, and they were looking for other living things to eat and so continue to live.
他们已经东奔西走了一整个白天，一整个夜晚，第二天还在继续奔跑。世界被冰封印着，到处死气沉沉。只有狼还活着，他们一直在寻找其他的生物来进食，以便能继续生存下去。
Finally, they found a big moose. They were so hungry that the whole pack attacked him. He fought hard, kicking and hitting the wolves with his large antlers. But there were too many wolves for him and in the end they killed him and ate him immediately. There was meat for each wolf. Soon the pack started to break up.One Eye and the she-wolf became friendly and they ran side by side，hunting and eating together.
最后，他们发现了一只大驼鹿。他们饥饿至极，群起而攻之。他拼命反抗，用四肢踢，用鹿角撞。但是狼的数量对他来说太多了，他们终于杀了他，并立刻吃掉了他。每一头狼都有了肉吃。很快，这群狼就散伙了。独眼狼和母狼变得亲热起来，他们并肩奔跑，一起捕猎，一起吃肉。
Soon the she-wolf felt she needed to find a small cave. She found one near a stream. It was dry and warm. She looked around carefully, and she decided that this was the right place. This was her lair. She lay down. One Eye came to see where she was, and he lay down outside the cave.
不久，母狼感到她需要找一个小洞穴来休憩。她在小溪附近发现了一个住所，里面既干燥又温暖。她仔细地环顾四周，认为这是不错的地方。这里成了她的巢穴。她躺了下来。独眼狼过来瞧了瞧她安顿的地方，在洞外趴了下来。
It was April. Spring was coming. Water was starting to run in the stream, birds were singing and One Eye left the cave to explore.现在是四月了。春天就要来了。溪水开始流淌，鸟儿已在欢唱，独眼狼离开了山洞去探险。
Later inside the cave he heard small noises and saw there were five wolf cubs lying beside the she-wolf. She snarled at him, and he moved back. He knew now that he must hunt for food.后来，在洞穴里，他听到了一些细微的吵闹声，他看到有五只小狼正躺在母狼旁边。她对他咆哮起来，他只好退了回去。他现在知道他必须去寻找食物了。
When he came back he gave some meat to his mate. The she-wolf turned and licked his neck, to show him she was pleased. She did not snarl or show her teeth. She understood he was being a good wolf-father and that he didn't want to eat her five cubs.独眼狼回来时，将一些肉给了他的伴侣。母狼转过身舔了舔他的脖子，向他表示她很高兴。她没有咆哮，也没有露出獠牙。她明白他是个称职的狼爸爸，不会吃掉她的五只小狼。
二、The Gray Cub小 小 灰 狼
He was different to his brothers and sisters. They already had the reddish color of their mother's fur. But he was gray，like his father.
他长得和他的兄弟姐妹截然不同。他们的毛色和母狼一样，泛着微微的红色。而他的毛是灰色的，像他的爸爸。
At first, his life was one of drinking milk, resting with his mother and playing with his brothers and sisters.But then came hard times when the cub was hungry.
起初，他的生活要么是吃奶，要么和他的妈妈一起休息，要么就是和他的兄弟姐妹们一起玩耍。但是，当小狼们饥肠辘辘的时候，艰难时刻降临了。
One Eye found it more and more difficult to find food. The cub's brothers and sisters died of hunger. Then One Eye didn't come back to the lair.
独眼狼发现要找到食物越来越困难了。小灰狼的兄弟姐妹死于饥饿。然后独眼狼就再也没有回巢穴了。
The she-wolf knew that something was wrong. She went out hunting and she found One Eye's body.She knew that a lynx killed him. The lynx had kittens of her own, and was a dangerous animal. After that, the she-wolf didn't hunt in that part of the forest.
母狼知道出事了。她出去寻找猎物，发现了独眼狼的尸体。她知道是一只山猫杀了他。山猫也有了自己的小猫，而且是一种危险的动物。自那之后，母狼便没有在森林的那个区域捕猎。
One day，while his mother was out hunting,the gray cub found the way out of the cave.At first, it was too bright after the half-dark of the cave. But slowly he learned to focus on the trees, the other bank of the stream and the sky.
一天，当小灰狼的妈妈外出打猎时，他发现了走出洞穴的路线。一开始走出半暗的洞穴之后，他发现光线太刺眼了。但慢慢地，他看清了外面林立的树木、小溪的对岸和广阔的天空。
He was afraid.But the need to know and understand was greater than his fear；so he went out.
他很害怕。但是对外面世界所需要的认知和了解，远远超过他内心的恐惧；于是他就出来了。
He soon discovered that the floor of the world was not flat like the floor of the cave. And he fell, rolling down the slope outside the lair. He lay at the bottom yelping in fear.
他很快就发现，外面世界的地表没有洞穴的地面那么平坦。接着他就摔了个倒栽葱，沿着巢穴外面的斜坡滚了下去。他躺在坡底，惊慌失措地大声哀嚎起来。But he soon sat up, and he started walking and looking around him. He met a squirrel, and a wood pecker, both of which moved away from him.
但他很快就坐了起来，开始走来走去，环顾四周。他遇到了一只松鼠和一只啄木鸟，但它们都离开了他。And so he learned that the world had things that stayed in one place,and other things that moved. And the more he walked, the better he walked.
因此，他明白了，世界上有停留在一个地方不会移动的东西，但也有会移动的其他东西。他走得越远，就走得越平稳。He had beginner's luck when he fell into a ptarmigan's nest. In the nest were seven chicks. He realized this was meat, like his mother gave him. So he ate them all.
当他掉进松鸡的巢穴时，他有了萌新的好运气。巢里有七只小鸡。他意识到这是一种肉，就像他妈妈给他的那样。所以他把它们都吃掉了。
As he walked away from the nest, the mother ptarmigan attacked him. He fought back, biting her wing with his small teeth, while she pecked him. He was excited and happy.He pulled the bird out into the open. He was fighting for meat, fighting to kill. It was what wolves did.当他离开鸟巢时，松鸡妈妈袭击了他。他反击了。当她啄他的时候，他用他的小牙齿撕咬她的翅膀。他既兴奋又快乐。他把这只鸟拖到了外面的空地上。他在为食肉而战，为杀戮而战，而这正是狼所该做的。
Then he left the ptarmigan free and rested. As he watched her, something rushed down from above him, picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky. It was a hawk.
接着，他放开了松鸡，去休息一会儿。当他盯着她观察的时候，有个东西从他的头顶上俯冲了下来，抓起那只松鸡，飞回了天空。那是一只鹰。
He was learning. Live things were meat, but if they were big enough, live things could also hurt. It was better to eat small live things.
他学到了一个新知识：活着的东西就是肉，但如果它们足够大，活着的东西也会伤害他，最好吃些小活物。Later something small and long jumped in front of him. It was a small live thing, so he put his paw on it. It was a young weasel. It made strange noises, and a larger longer animal appeared. It jumped at his neck and bit him with sharp teeth. It was the mother weasel. She wasn't big, but he didn't know how dangerous weasels were.
后来，一个又小又长的东西跳到了他的面前。那是个小活物，因此他用爪子把它按翻在地。这是只小黄鼠狼。它发出了奇怪的声音，然后一个更大更长的动物出现了。它跳了起来，用锋利的牙齿咬了他的脖子一口。原来是黄鼠狼妈妈。她的个头倒不大，但他不知道黄鼠狼有多危险。
The mother weasel took her baby back to her nest, but soon she returned. The cub watched as she came closer. Suddenly she jumped, and bit into his throat.He snarled and tried to fight, but the weasel held on.
黄鼠狼妈妈把她的孩子带回了她的巢穴，但很快她就回来了。小灰狼看着她走得越来越近了。她突然跳了起来，咬破了他的喉咙。他怒吼着，试图反抗，但黄鼠狼仍然咬着他。
The cub was sure to die, but luckily his mother, the she- wolf, heard his frightened calls. She came rushing through the bushes to save him. The weasel let go. Then the she-wolf took the weasel in her mouth and threw It up into the air, catching it in her teeth and killing it. The cub and mother licked each other happily, then they ate the weasel and went back to the cave and slept.
小灰狼本确定会没命的，但幸运的是，他的母亲，母狼，听到了他惊恐的叫声。她冲过了灌木丛来救他。黄鼠狼松开了他。然后，母狼把黄鼠狼叼在她的嘴里，又扔到空中，再用牙齿咬住，杀死了她。小灰狼和妈妈高兴地舔了舔对方，然后母子俩一起吃掉了黄鼠狼，回山洞睡觉去了。
三、The Law of Meat食 肉 法 则
Soon the cub went out again. Every day he went further and further away from the cave. He didn't get lost.But a time of hunger returned. Neither he nor his mother found food. Then finally his mother brought home some strange meat, different from other meat. It was a lynx kitten.
不久，小灰狼又出去了。每天他都离山洞越来越远，而且没有迷路。但是饥饿的时光又来了。他和妈妈都没有找到食物。最后，他的妈妈带回了一些奇怪的肉，和其他的肉完全不同。那是一只小山猫。Later the cub lay sleeping by his mother's side when there was a terrible snarl. There in the entrance was the mother lynx. A terrible fight followed. The lynx cut with her claws and teeth, the she-wolf with her teeth. The cub joined in, biting the lynx's back leg, which helped his mother. The fight continued, and he bit her back leg again.
当一阵可怕的咆哮声传来时，小灰狼正躺在妈妈身边睡觉。入口处站着山猫妈妈。一场可怕的战斗就这样发生了。山猫用她的爪子和牙齿撕咬，母狼用牙齿反击。小灰狼也加入了战斗，咬着山猫的后腿，这帮助了他的妈妈。战斗仍在持续，他又咬住了她的后腿。
At last the lynx was dead. But the she-wolf was very weak. She lay by the dead animal's side for a day and a night without moving. For a week she didn't leave the cave, except to go down to the stream for water. They ate the lynx each day and soon their wounds healed.
最后山猫死了。但此时的母狼也很虚弱。她在死去的山猫身边躺了整整一天一夜，动弹不了。除了到小溪边去喝水，一个星期她没有离开山洞。他们每天都吃山猫的肉，他们的伤口很快就愈合了。The gray cub went out for food with his mother now. He learned how she killed animals, and he started to help her. And he learned the law of meat. There were two kinds of life: his own kind, which was himself and his mother, and the other kind. The other kind were non-killers and small killers, which his kind could eat. But his kind also had large killers, which could kill and eat him. The law was：EAT, OR BE EATEN.
现在小灰狼和他的妈妈一起外出捕食了。他学会了她杀死动物的技巧，并开始给她做帮手。他理解了弱肉强食的自然法则。生命有两种：一种是他自己的生命，包含他自己和他的妈妈在内的生命；以及另一种。另一种是非杀手和小杀手，他的同类可以吃。但他的同类也有大杀手，可以杀死他、吃掉他。这个法则就是：要么吃别的生命，要么被别的生命吃掉。He saw the law working all around him. He ate the ptarmigan chicks. The hawk ate the ptarmigan mother. The hawk wanted to eat him. He ate the lynx kitten.The lynx mother wanted to eat him, but he and his mother ate her first. And so it went on. He was a killer and his only food was meat.
他看到这个法则在他的身边不断地被验证着。他吃了那些小松鸡。鹰吃掉了松鸡妈妈。老鹰想吃掉他。他吃掉了小山猫。山猫妈妈想吃掉他，但他和他妈妈先吃掉了她，就这样周而复始循环往复。他是杀手，而他唯一的食物是肉。
四、The Makers of Fire造火诸神
The cub ran down to the stream to drink. Suddenly, he stopped. There was a strange smell, and he saw something new. Five live things were sitting round something bright. It was the first time he saw men. He felt weak while they were powerful.
小灰狼跑到小溪边喝水。突然，他停了下来。他闻到一种奇怪的气味，他看到了新的东西。五个有生命的东西正坐在一堆明亮的东西周围。这是他第一次见到人类。他感觉到他们很强大，而他却很弱小。
One of the Indians went over to him, and bent down. Automatically he showed his teeth.The man laughed, saying:“Look at these white fangs!”His friends laughed. The man bent to pick him up. As the man's hand came closer, the cub didn't know what to do. Part of him wanted the man to touch him, another part wanted to fight. He waited until the hand almost touched him,then he bit it.Then the man hit his head, and knocked him onto his side.
其中一个印第安人走到他跟前，弯下腰来。他很自然地咧开了嘴，笑着说：“看看这些白白的尖牙！”他的朋友们笑了。那人弯下腰去摸他。当男人的手靠近他时，小灰狼不知道该怎么办才好。他身体有一部分想让这个男人抚摸他，另一部分却想要反抗他。等到男人的手几乎要碰到他了，他咬了男人一口。然后那个男人锤了一下他的头，把他打翻在地。The other men came and made a circle around the cub. But then they heard the she-wolf. She was running towards them and she was snarling. The cub ran towards her, while the Indians moved away.She stood over her cub，facing the men. She was still snarling.
其他人过来了，把小灰狼围在了中间。但接着他们听到母狼的声音。她朝他们咆哮着飞奔而来。印第安人后退了几步，小灰狼朝她跑去。她站在她的孩子面前，直视着那几个人，狂叫不止。
Then one of the men said：“Kiche!” and the cub saw his mother change.“Kiche!”shouted the man, and she lay down on the ground. She made a small sound and wagged her tail. The cub didn't understand. He again felt the power of men. He knew that his mother felt this power, too.The man came to her and put his hand on her head. She did not bite or snarl. The other men came and stood around her. They were very excited.
然后其中一个人叫道：“凯琪！”小灰狼看到他的妈妈变得温顺了。“凯琪！”那人喊道，她趴在地上摇了摇尾巴，发出了呜呜的声音。小灰狼傻了眼。他再次感觉到了人类的威力。他知道他的妈妈也感受到了这种威力。那人走到她的跟前，把手放在她的头上。她既没有咬，也没有叫。其他人也都走了过来，站在她的周围，非常兴奋。
“Her father was a wolf," the Indian said. "But her mother was a dog.”
“她的爸爸是一只狼，”印第安人说。“但她的妈妈是条狗。”
“It is a year, Gray Beaver, since she ran away,” said a second Indian.
“格雷·比弗，她跑掉已经有一年了吧。”另一个印第安人说。
“It was a hard time,” replied Gray Beaver. “There was no meat for the dogs.”
“那时候生活艰难，”格雷·比弗回答说。“没有肉给狗吃啊。”
“She has lived with the wolves，” said a third Indian.
“那时她就和狼群生活在一起了。”第三个印第安人说。
“So it seems, Three Eagles,” Gray Beaver answered, laying his hand on the cub,“and this cub is the result.”
“看起来似乎如此，施瑞·伊格尔斯，”格雷·比弗把手放在小灰狼的身上回答道，“而这只小灰狼就是证明。”
The cub snarled a little at the touch of the hand.They hit him again and he lay down next to his mother.The hand came back and rubbed behind his ears and up and down his back. He liked this.
小灰狼又被格雷·比弗的手碰到了，他狂叫起来。他们又锤了他一顿。他趴在了他妈妈身边。那只手又来了，在他的耳朵后面和背部上下抚摸。他喜欢这种感觉。
“His mother is Kiche,”said Gray Beaver, “but his father is a wolf. So there is a little dog in him and a lot of wolf. His fangs are white, so his name will be White Fang. And he is mine, because Kiche was my brother's dog, and my brother is dead.”
“他的妈妈是凯琪，＂格雷·比弗说，“但他的爸爸是一只狼。所以他身上有一点狗性，但狼性更多。他的牙齿是白色的，就叫白牙好了。他是我的了，因为凯琪是我哥哥的狗，而我哥哥已经不在人世了。”
Gray Beaver then tied up Kiche, and White Fang lay down beside her. Soon the rest of the Indians arrived — men, women and children — with their equipment and many dogs. The adult dogs were carrying things on their backs.
格雷·比弗随后把凯琪拴了起来，白牙就趴在她的身旁。很快，其余的印第安人来到这里——男人、女人和孩子——带着他们的装备和许多狗。成年狗的背上还驮着一些东西。
White Fang didn't know this species，but he knew they were not his kind. The dogs rushed at the cub and his mother, and there was soon a great fight. The men separated them, hitting the dogs with clubs. White Fang again felt the power of men.They were the makers of law.
白牙没见过这个物种，但他知道他们不是他的同类。那些狗向小灰狼和他的妈妈扑了过来，一场大战发生了。人们手持棍棒向狗挥打过去，把他们分开了。白牙再次感受到人类的威力。他们才是规则的制定者。The men then took his mother by the rope and led her. He didn't like this；it was like a trap. He followed them.They went down to the Mackenzie River, and made a camp. White Fang was amazed by what he saw the men do. They were the masters of things not alive. Their teepees were especially strange and big to him.
然后，人们用绳子拴住他的妈妈，牵着她走。他不喜欢这样的方式，那是牢笼一般的束缚。他跟着他们。他们来到了麦肯齐河的下游，在这里安营驻扎下来。白牙对这群人的所作所为感到非常惊奇。他们是无生命之物的主宰者。他们的圆锥形帐篷对他来说特别奇怪而且庞大。
White Fang explored the camp. He met a puppy, who was older than him, called Lip-lip.White Fang wanted to be friendly, but Lip-lip suddenly attacked him. They became enemies. White Fang's mother wanted him to stay with her, but White Fang was curious and soon he was exploring again.
白牙探索了这个营地。他遇到了一只比他大的小狗，叫李大嘴。白牙想表示友好，但李大嘴却突然攻击了他。他们成了敌人。白牙的妈妈想要他和她呆在一起，但是白牙好奇心很重，很快他又开始探险了。
Gray Beaver was doing something important with two sticks and some grass. Women and children carried sticks and branches to him. White Fang saw something like mist coming from the sticks and moss, and then, something bright like the sun appeared，and grew.
格雷·比弗正在用两根木条和一些枯草做着重要的事情。女人和孩子拿了一些木条和树枝给他。白牙看到树枝和苔藓上冒出了雾状的东西，然后，像太阳一样明亮的东西出现了，并生长了起来。
White Fang went towards this bright thing with his nose, and touched it with his tongue.Then he jumped into the air, yelping. Gray Beaver laughed, and told everybody, so they all started laughing, too. Kiche started snarling loudly, but she could not get to her cub because of the rope. Poor White Fang sat there crying in the middle of the laughing men. Their laughter hurt him more than the pain.
白牙伸长鼻子朝这件明亮的东西走去，用舌头碰了碰。然后他跳到空中，尖叫起来。格雷·比弗笑了，把这事告诉了大家，他们也都开始哄笑了起来。凯琪开始大声狂吠起来，但由于绳子的原因，她无法靠近她的孩子。可怜的白牙坐在那里，在笑着的人类中间哭着。他们笑声的伤害比肉体的疼痛让他更痛苦。
He went back to his mother and lay down beside her. As night came on he felt sad.He wanted the quiet of the woods and the cave.Here, there were so many people making noise, and all the dogs. The men were always doing something, using their power. They were fire-makers! They were gods！他回到妈妈身边，趴在她旁边。夜幕降临了，他感到很难过。他想要树林和洞穴的宁静。而在这里，那么多人在制造噪音，所有的狗也是这样。人类总是在用他们的力量做事。他们是造火者！他们是神！
五、The Bond紧密关系
White Fang soon learned about men.He learned to get out of their way and to come when they called. The alternative was a club on his back or a stone in his face.Some days White Fang went to the edge of the forest. He stood and listened to something calling him from far away.
白牙很快就了解人类了。他学会了不挡他们的路，当人们喊他的时候他才来。另一种方式是他背上挨一棍子打，或者是他脸上被石头砸。有几天，白牙去了森林的边缘。他站在那里，倾听着远方呼唤他的声音。He learned about the other dogs, too. He learned that some dogs ate lots and some were dangerous. But the biggest problem in White Fang's life was Lip-lip. He was larger, older and stronger and he hated White Fang. Lip-lip attacked him whenever he could. White Fang learned to avoid him and the other puppies. He didn't play but he learned everything about the camp instead. And he became a clever thief because it was difficult for him to get his share of the food.
他也知道了其他狗的事。他了解到有些狗食量大，有些狗很危险。但白牙一生中最大的问题是李大嘴。李大嘴的年龄比他要大些，块头也更大，体格更强壮，他讨厌白牙。但凡有可能，李大嘴就会攻击他。白牙学会了避开他和其他小狗。既然没法一起快乐地玩耍，他干脆就去了解营地里发生的一切事情。因为他很难获得自己的那份食物，他成为了一个聪明的小偷，。
Then one day White Fang had his first taste of revenge. Lip-lip was chasing him and White Fang ran closer and closer to where his mother was tied up. Lip-lip followed.White Fang knew his mother hated Lip-lip, too. Soon Lip-lip was so excited that he ran right into Kiche. She bit him with her fangs. He was able to escape because Kiche was still tied up. But then White Fang bit and chased him. For the first time, with the help of his mother, White Fang managed to hurt Lip-lip. Revenge was good.
有一天，白牙第一次尝到了复仇的滋味。李大嘴在后面追他，白牙跑得越来越靠近妈妈被拴的地方。李大嘴穷追不舍。白牙知道他的妈妈也讨厌李大嘴。很快，李大嘴如此兴奋以致直接跑向了凯琪。她用她的尖牙利齿咬了他一口。他之所以能够逃出来，是因为凯琪还被拴着。但是接着白牙又咬了他，追赶他。在妈妈的帮助下，白牙第一次设计报复了李大嘴。复仇的滋味好极了。
After this episode, Gray Beaver decided to untie Kiche so she could walk freely. White Fang now enjoyed walking around the camp with his mother. Later, White Fang led her to the edge of the camp, and tried to make her follow him into the Wild. But the call of the fire and the men was too strong, and Kiche turned and walked back to the camp. White Fang sat in the trees and cried. But White Fang was still only a puppy and the call of his mother was stronger than the call of the Wild. So he got up and walked back to the camp，too.
这个插曲之后，格雷·比弗决定解开凯琪的绳索，这样她就可以自由行走了。现在，白牙喜欢和妈妈在营地里一起溜达。后来，白牙把她领到了营地的边缘地带，试图让她跟着他去野外。但是火光的召唤、人类的呼唤实在是太强大了，凯琪转过身走回了营地。白牙坐在树林里哭喊起来。但是白牙仍然只是一只小狗，妈妈的呼唤比野外的呼唤更强烈。所以他也站起来走回营地。Soon, however, White Fang suffered again. Gray Beaver was in debt to Three Eagles. Three Eagles was leaving the camp for a trip up the Mackenzie River to the Great Slave Lake. Before Three Eagles left,Gray Beaver paid his debt with some red cloth, twenty cartridges and Kiche. White Fang saw his mother in Three Eagle's canoe, and he tried to follow her. He jumped into the river and swam after the canoe. Gray Beaver called White Fang to come back, but White Fang continued swimming. So Gray Beaver chased him in his canoe.
然而不久，白牙又遭受了苦难。格雷·比弗欠了施瑞·伊格尔斯的债。施瑞·伊格尔斯要离开营地前往麦肯齐河上游的大奴湖。在施瑞·伊格尔斯离开之前，格雷·比弗用一些红布、二十发子弹和凯琪来抵债。白牙在施瑞·伊格尔斯的独木舟上看到了妈妈，于是他试图跟她一起走。他跳进河里，在独木舟后游泳追赶。格雷·比弗喊着叫白牙回来，但是白牙继续追赶。所以格雷·比弗就坐上独木舟追他。
Gray Beaver soon caught White Fang, pulled him out of the water, and beat him hard and long. Then he threw him in the bottom of the canoe. But White Fang was angry, and he bit Gray Beaver's foot. Gray Beaver was even more angry and beat White Fang again and again with great fury. White Fang was terrified. He learned another lesson: a dog must never bite his master. When they got to the shore, Gray Beaver threw the crying cub onto the land. Lip-lip, who was watching the whole scene, ran to White Fang, knocked him over and bit him hard. White Fang was too weak to defend himself. But Gray Beaver pulled Lip-lip away from White Fang, hurting him badly. White Fang then followed Gray Beaver quietly to his teepee. He learned of man-animal justice but also that the right to punish was reserved only for man.
格雷·比弗很快就抓住了白牙，把他从水里拉上来，狠狠地揍了他一顿，然后把他扔进了独木舟的底部。但是白牙愤怒了，他咬了格雷·比弗的脚。格雷·比弗更生气了，一次又一次狂怒地爆打白牙。白牙吓坏了。他吸取了又一个教训：狗绝不能咬主人。当他们到达岸边时，格雷·比弗把哭天喊地的小灰狼扔到了岸上。看到全部情形的李大嘴冲向白牙把他撞倒，狠狠地咬了他。白牙太虚弱了，无法保卫自己。但是格雷·比弗还是把李大嘴从白牙身边拉开了，重重地打伤了他。白牙安安静静地跟着格雷·比弗地走到了他的帐篷前。他领悟到人与动物之间也有正义，但也明白惩罚的权利只为人类所有。
White Fang was sad. He remembered his mother and waited for her night and day. He also learned to get along with Gray Beaver and, over time, a bond grew between the dog and his master.白牙很伤心。他想起了他的妈妈，日日夜夜地等着她。他还学会了与格雷·比弗相处，随着时间的推移，狗和主人之间的关系越来越紧密。
六、The Outcast被排斥者
Lip-lip continued to make White Fang unhappy. Gradually White Fang became more and more savage in order to defend himself. Soon he got a reputation in the camp for being wicked. When there was trouble everyone blamed White Fang.
李大嘴继续让白牙不开心。渐渐地，为了自卫，白牙变得越来越野蛮了。不久在营地里，他获得了邪恶的名声。只要出现麻烦，大家都会怪罪于白牙。
Soon White Fang became an outcast. The other dogs were on Lip-lip's side, and White Fang found himself constantly fighting. This situation taught him two important things: how to take care of himself in a fight against a lot of dogs, and how to do the most damage in the shortest time in a fight against one dog.
很快，白牙就成了一个弃儿。其他的狗都站在李大嘴那一边，白牙发现自己不停地在和他们干架。这样的情形教会了他两件重要的事情：如何在打群架时照顾好自己，以及一对一时如何在最短的时间内给对方造成最大程度的伤害。
When he was fighting he learned to keep his feet like a cat, to be quick, and to surprise his enemy. Then one day he eventually killed another dog, and so the tooth of every dog and hand of every man was against him.
当他干架的时候，他学会了让他的腿脚像猫一样敏捷，让他的敌人总是出乎意料。终于有一天他又杀了一只狗，所以每只狗的牙齿和每个人的手都对着他。
All of this helped White Fang to grow up fast. His need to survive meant that he ran faster, moved quicker, was craftier, deadlier, more cruel, more savage and more intelligent than all the other dogs in the camp. He had no idea of kindness because he never felt it himself. He obeyed Gray Beaver because he was strong，but he attacked the weak.
所有这些都在帮助白牙快速成长。生存的需要意味着他要跑得更快，移动更敏捷，比营地里其他所有的狗要更狡猾、更致命、更残忍、更野蛮、更聪明。他不知道什么叫善意，因为他自己从来没有感受过。他服从格雷·比弗是因为他很强壮，但他攻击弱者。
Later that year, in the autumn, the Indians took down their teepees and got ready to go hunting. White Fang decided not to go with them. He went into the woods, running along a stream to hide his trail. Then he went into the middle of a thick group of trees and waited. After a time, he heard Gray Beaver's voice calling him, and the voices of his wife and Mit- sah，his son.
那年晚些时候，在秋天，印第安人拆下了他们的帐篷，准备去打猎。白牙决定不和他们一起去。他走进树林，沿着一条小溪跑以便掩盖他的踪迹。然后，他走进一群茂密的树丛中间，等待着。过了一会儿，他听到了格雷·比弗喊他的名字，还有他妻子和儿子米特萨的声音。
During the night White Fang started to feel lonely.He missed the camp and its noise.The silence of the Wild was new to him again. It was cold, there was no food, and he began to feel frightened. In the morning he felt less frightened, but more lonely. He started to follow the river bank. He went through mountains, over rocks, in the river itself. He ran on, though he was tired and hungry. After thirty hours he was still running.Then White Fang suddenly found a fresh trail, and he knew what it was. He followed it and camp sounds came to his ears. He saw a fire, and Kloo-kooch, Gray Beaver's wife, was cooking. Gray Beaver was sitting by the fire.
夜里，白牙开始感到孤独。他想念营地和它的喧闹声。但野外的宁静对他来说又很新鲜。天气很冷，没有食物，他开始感到害怕了。到了早晨，他感到不那么害怕了，但更加孤独，他开始沿着河岸走。他穿过大山，越过岩石，趟过河流。虽然他又累又饿，他仍然在继续本跑。三十小时后，他还在跑。然后白牙突然发现了一条新的印迹，他知道这是什么。他跟着它，听到了营地里的声音。他看见了一堆火，格雷·比弗的妻子克洛·库奇正在做饭，格雷·比弗坐在火堆旁。
White Fang expected a beating. He crawled slowly closer until he lay at Gray Beaver's feet. He waited for the hand to hit him. But Gray Beaver cut some meat for him. Then he guarded White Fang from the other dogs while he ate it. After that, grateful and happy, he lay at Gray Beaver's feet, looking at the fire that warmed him.White Fang was no longer alone in the silent forests, but in the camp, with his gods. He was now theirs and he depended on them.
白牙希望被锤一顿。他慢慢地爬近，直到趴在格雷·比弗的脚下。他等着有一只手来揍他。但是格雷·比弗给他切了些肉。然后，当白牙吃着肉的时候，他保护着白牙防止其他狗来抢食。之后，他又高兴又感激地卧在格雷·比弗的脚边，看着温暖他的火堆。在寂静的森林里，白牙不再孤单，而是在营地里，与诸神同在。现在他属于他们，他依赖他们。
七、The Agreement人 狼 契 约
About halfway through December, Gray Beaver went on a journey up the Mackenzie River to the Great Slave Lake. Mit-sah and Kloo-kooch went with him. Gray Beaver took two sleds. He drove one sled himself and his son，Mit-sah drove the other one．
12月中旬，格雷·比弗沿着麦肯齐河而上，向大奴湖迁徙。米特萨和克洛·库奇和他一起去了。格雷·比弗带了两辆雪橇。他自己驾着一辆，他的儿子米特萨驾着另一辆。
Mit-sah was learning how to drive a sled, so his sled was small and it was pulled by seven puppies. But it also carried equipment and food, and so was useful.
米特-萨正在学习如何驾驶雪橇，所以他的雪橇很小，被七只小狗拉着。但它也运载了装备和食物，因而是有益的。
White Fang was tied to Mit-sah's sled；he accepted it well. The lead dog was Lip-lip. Mit-sah didn't like Lip-lip, especially for how he treated White Fang. He put Lip-lip in front as a punishment, as it seemed that the other six dogs were chasing him.
白牙被拴在米特萨的雪橇上，他接受了。领头狗是李大嘴。米特萨不喜欢李大嘴，尤其是因为他对待白牙的态度。他把李大嘴放在最前面作为一种惩罚，好像其他六只狗在追赶他。
White Fang worked hard. He was obedient, faithful and willing. He was solitary. He either fought with the other puppies or ignored them. But they respected him.
白牙工作很努力。他很顺从、忠诚且心甘情愿。他还是很孤独。他不是和其他小狗干架，就是对他们不理不睬。但他们尊重他。
At the Great Slave Lake, White Fang changed his idea that it was wrong to bite a man. In the village a boy was chopping frozen moose-meat with an axe, and pieces fell onto the ground. White Fang stopped and ate the pieces. But the boy picked up a club and chased him. Suddenly, White Fang felt angry, for he had done nothing wrong, and yet this boy wanted to beat him.
在大奴湖，白牙改变了他的想法，认为咬人是不对的。在村子里，一个男孩用斧头砍着冻僵的驼鹿肉，肉屑落在了地上。白牙停下来吃了这些肉屑。但那男孩捡起一根棍子追赶他。突然，白牙生气了，因为他没有做错什么事，而这个男孩却想打他。
White Fang knocked the boy down onto the snow and bit the hand that held the club. The boy's hand was bleeding badly.
白牙把男孩撞倒在雪地上，咬了那只拿着棍棒的手。那男孩手上的血流不止。
When he bit the boy White Fang broke the law of the gods. He knew this and now he waited for a terrible punishment. But when the boy and his family came to complain, Gray Beaver defended White Fang. And so he learned that there were his gods and other gods, and there was difference between them. He did not have to take injustice from other gods.
当白牙咬那男孩时，他违反了诸神的法则。他知道这一点，现在他等待着一个可怕的惩罚。但是当男孩和他的家人来发牢骚的时候，格雷·比弗为白牙辩护。于是他了解到他的神和其他的神是有区别的。他不必接受其他神的冤枉。
Later, White Fang was walking in a wood where Mit-sah was collecting firewood alone. The boy with the club and some other boys started arguing with Mit-sah, then they attacked him. White Fang suddenly felt angry. They were mistreating one of his own gods. He jumped at the boys, and five minutes later they were running away, many of them bleeding. When Mit-sah told Gray Beaver the story, he ordered lots of meat for White Fang.
后来，白牙在树林里行走时，米特萨正在那里独自拾柴火。那个曾经拿棍子追他的男孩和其他的一些男孩开始和米特萨争吵起来，然后他们攻击了他。白牙突然感到很愤怒。他们虐待了他自己的一个神。他扑向男孩们，五分钟后，他们跑开了，许多人在流血。当米特萨告诉格雷·比弗这个故事时，他给了白牙很多肉。White Fang also learned to protect Gray Beaver's property from thieves. It was part of the agreement between the man and the wolf. The man gave him food, fire, protection and friendship, and he guarded the man's property, defended his body, worked for him and obeyed him. White Fang's was a service of duty and awe, but not of love. He had no experience of love.
白牙还学会了保护格雷·比弗的财产免受小偷的侵扰。这是人和狼之间达成的契约的一部分。人给他食物、火、保护和友谊，他保护他的财产，保卫他的身体，为他工作并服从他。白牙的服务是职责和敬畏，而不是爱。他没有爱的经历。
八、The Famine饥荒年代
In April Gray Beaver went back home with his family. White Fang was one year old now and he looked more like a wolf than a dog. He didn't feel frightened of the grown dogs any more.
四月，格雷·比弗和他的家人回家了。白牙现在一岁了，他看起来更像一只狼，而不是一条狗。他已经不再害怕那些成年的狗了。
White Fang was eating some cut-up moose when an old dog called Baseek, ran at him, wanting to take the meat. Before White Fang always feared Baseek. But this time White Fang cut him twice, to Baseek's surprise. They stood looking at each other over them eat, then Baseek stepped forward to take it. But White Fang struck, as usual, with no warning. First, he cut Baseek's right ear, then he knocked him down and bit his shoulder. Baseek ran at White Fang, but White Fang was too quick for the old dog, and cut his nose. White Fang stood over the meat, and Baseek left.This gave White Fang even more confidence in himself, and from then on none of the other dogs challenged him
.白牙正在吃切好的驼鹿肉，这时一只叫巴塞克的老狗朝他跑来，想把肉抢走。在此之前，白牙总是害怕巴谢克。但这一次，白牙咬了他两次，这让巴谢克非常吃惊。他们站在那里互相望着对方，那块肉则掉在了他们中间，然后巴塞克走上前去想吃肉。但是白牙像往常一样，毫无预兆地攻击了他。首先，他咬伤了巴谢克的右耳，然后把他打翻在地，又咬了他的肩膀一下。巴塞克向白牙冲杀过来，但对这只老狗来说白牙的攻击速度太快了，又抓破了他的鼻子。白牙站在了那块肉的上方，巴塞克只得走开了。这使得白牙对自己更有信心了，从那时起，其他的狗再也没有对他发出挑战。
Then White Fang had another important experience. One day, in the village, he met his mother Kiche. He remembered her, but she-wolves do not remember their old cubs. He was just another dangerous animal, who might hurt her new cubs. So when White Fang ran over to her happily, she cut his cheek. He didn't understand, and he moved away. He had learned to live without her, and he understood that there was no place for her in his life, just as there was no place for him in hers.
接着白牙又有了一次重要的经历。有一天，在村子里，他遇到了他的妈妈凯琪。他记得她，但母狼想不起他们以前的小崽子了。他只是另一个危险的动物，可能会伤害她的新生宝宝。于是，当白牙高兴地跑到她跟前时，她咬伤了他的脸颊。他不明白为什么会这样，于是就走开了。他已经学会了在没有妈妈的情况下独立生活，他终于明白在他的生活中已经没有她的位置了，就像她的生活中没有他的位置一样。
In the third year of his life there was a great famine. In summer there were no fish. In winter the caribou didn't pass that way. There were few moose, and the rabbits almost disappeared. Many older and weaker Indians died, too. Both men and dogs were forced to eat leather. Then the Indians ate the dogs and the dogs ate each other.在他生命的第三年，发生了一场大饥荒。夏天没有鱼可捕。在冬天，驯鹿没有从那条路走过。驼鹿也很少，兔子几乎消失了。许多年纪大、身子弱的印第安人也饿死了。人类和狗都被迫吃皮革充饥。然后印第安人吃了狗，狗吃了狗。
White Fang left the camp and started hunting small animals in the forests: squirrels, wood mice and weasels. One day, White Fang met a young wolf that was thin and hungry.White Fang didn't go with the wolf and join the wolf's pack. White Fang was so hungry that he killed and ate the young wolf.
白牙离开了营地，开始在森林里捕猎小动物：松鼠、木鼠和黄鼠狼。一天，白牙遇到了一只又瘦又饿的小狼。白牙没有和这只狼一起去加入狼群。他是如此饥饿以至于把小狼直接杀掉吃了。
Once he was attacked by the wolf pack, but he was full of energy from two days of eating a lynx and the weak wolves could not catch him. He even ran in a big circle, and killed and ate one of the weakest wolves at the back of the pack.
有一次，他被狼群袭击了，但因为他吃了两天的山猫，体力很充沛，身虚体弱的狼们抓不到他。他甚至绕了个大圈子，跑到狼群的后面杀死了其中一只最虚弱的狼并吃掉了。
He left that part of the country and went over to the valley where he was born. In the lair,he met Kiche with the last of her latest cubs, who was weak and hungry. But White Fang didn't stay. He didn't need his mother any more. In the last days of the famine, he met Lip-lip. White Fang was in very good condition because he was hunting well. His old feelings about Lip-lip came back, and he attacked him quickly, and left him dead on the track.
他离开了那个地方，来到了他出生时的山谷。在巢穴里，他遇到了凯琪和她刚出生的狼崽，他们羸弱又饥饿。但是白牙没有留下。他不再需要他的妈妈了。在饥荒的最后几天，他遇到了李大嘴。白牙的状况很好，因为他是个好猎手。对李大嘴的往日仇恨又上心头，他迅速地攻击了他，让他死在了路上。
One day, soon after that, White Fang came to the edge of the forest, where the land went down to the Mackenzie River. There was a village there. From the trees he heard well-known sounds and saw familiar sights. Now the village was happy - the famine was over. He walked into the camp and straight to Gray Beaver's teepee. Kloo-kooch was delighted to see him and gave him a whole fresh fish to eat.Then he lay down to wait for Gray Beaver to return.
之后不久，有一天，白牙来到了森林边上，那里的土地一直延伸到麦肯齐河。那里有个村庄。他在树林里听到了熟识的声音，看到了熟悉的景象。现在村子里很快乐——饥荒结束了。他走进营地，径直走向格雷·比弗的帐篷。克洛·库奇很高兴见到他，给他吃了一整条鲜鱼。然后他趴下来等待着格雷·比弗回来。
九、The Enemy of His Kind同类之敌
Mit-sah made White Fang the leader of the sled- team.All the other dogs hated him getting extra meat and seeing him running in front of them. White Fang hated them, too. In camp, the other dogs got together to attack him continually. They didn't dare fight him alone,because he always won. And so he became the enemy of his kind.
米特萨让白牙做了雪橇队的领队。看到他跑在他们前面，又能吃到额外的肉，其他狗都讨厌他。白牙也讨厌他们。在营地里，其他的狗聚在一起持续地攻击他。他们不敢单独对付他，因为他总是赢。于是他成了同类的敌人。
In summer, White Fang arrived at Fort Yukon. Gray Beaver crossed from the Mackenzie to the Yukon in late winter, and spent the spring hunting in the Rockies. It was the summer of 1898, and thousands of gold-hunters were going up the Yukon to Dawson and the Klondike. Gray Beaver came with furs mittens and moccasins. He made an enormous profit.
夏天，白牙到达了育空堡。深冬时分，格雷·比弗从麦肯齐河对岸来到育空堡，在落基山脉度过了春天的狩猎时光。那时正是1898年的夏天，成千上万的淘金者正沿着育空堡向道森和克朗代克进发。格雷·比弗带着毛皮、皮手套和鹿皮鞋来了。他发了一笔大财。
There White Fang saw his first white men.They seemed like superior gods to him. They built a huge wooden fort and houses, and seemed more powerful than the Indians with their tee pees. But he realized that very few of these white men stayed. They came off the boats, stopped for a few hours, then travelled on again.
在那里，白牙第一次看到了白人。在他看来他们像上等神。他们建造了一座巨大的木制堡垒和房屋，似乎比住在帐篷里的印第安人更强大。但他意识到这些白人中很少有人留下来。他们下了船，停留几个小时，然后又继续往前走。
He looked with interest at the different kinds of dogs that the white men brought with them.He learned that he could kill them easily. He attacked the dogs, knocked them over, and bit their throats. Then the other Indian dogs finished the job. In this way he was never beaten by the angry owners. This was how he spent his time. He and the other dogs waited for each boat, killed two or three dogs, then they hid until the next boat arrived.
他饶有兴趣地看着白人带来的不同种类的狗。他知道他可以轻易地杀死他们。他攻击这些狗，撞翻他们，撕咬他们的喉咙。然后印第安人的狗群清理战场。如此这般，他就从来没有被那些怒气冲冲的狗主人打过。他就是这样打发时间的。他和其他的狗等候着每艘船，杀死两三条狗，然后他们躲藏起来直到下一艘船到达。
The few men who lived in Fort Yukon didn't like the newcomers.They liked watching White Fang and the Indian dogs, and they always appreciated the part played by White Fang.
住在育空堡交易站的一小部分人不喜欢新来者。他们喜欢看白牙和印第安狗袭击新来者带来的狗，他们总是欣赏白牙在其中扮演的角色。Beauty Smith go this name because he was the opposite of a beauty. He was the cook for the other men. Beauty liked White Fang and he wanted to own him. He tried to make friends with him, but the dog just ignored him, and snarled at him and showed his teeth.
美人史密斯之所以得名却是因为他长得很丑。他是那些人的厨师。美人喜欢白牙，他想得到他。他想和他交朋友，但那条狗就是对他不理不睬，对他大声吼叫，还露出獠牙。Beauty Smith visited Gray Beaver, and the two men talked, but Gray Beaver refused to sell the dog. He was rich and he didn't need anything. Besides, White Fang was a valuable animal, a strong sled-dog and the best leader. And he killed other dogs like men killed mosquitoes.
美人史密斯拜访了格雷·比弗，两个人做了一番交谈，但格雷·比弗拒绝把狗卖掉。他很有钱，什么都不需要。此外，白牙是一只珍贵的动物，一只强壮的雪橇犬和最好的领头狗。他杀其他狗就像人类杀蚊子一样。
Each time Beauty came, he brought Gray Beaver some whisky, and soon Gray Beaver wanted more. His money disappeared quickly but he still wanted more whisky. And so when Beauty Smith came next time, they discussed a price for the sale of White Fang. This time it was in bottles of whisky, not dollars. Gray Beaver agreed, but he said that Beauty had to catch the dog. The bottles were delivered, but after two days, Beauty came back and asked Gray Beaver to catch White Fang.
每次美人来的时候，他都会带给格雷·比弗一些威士忌酒，很快格雷·比弗就想要更多的威士忌。他的钱很快就不见了，但他还是想要更多的威士忌。所以下一次美人史密斯来的时候，他们讨论了出售白牙的价格。这一次是几瓶威士忌换白牙，而不是用钱买。格雷·比弗同意了，但他说美人必须自己抓住那条狗。酒送来了，但是两天后，美人回来了，让格雷·比弗去抓白牙。
White Fang hid from Beauty. But he came back to Gray Beaver. The Indian tied a leather rope around White Fang's neck and sat down, holding the end of it. An hour later, Beauty arrived, and Gray Beaver gave the rope to him. As Beauty walked away, White Fang ran at him. Beauty expected this, and he turned and hit White Fang with a club. After that,White Fang followed him. He was too clever to attack and be clubbed again.
白牙躲避着美人。但他回到了格雷·比弗身边。那个印第安人用一根皮绳系住白牙的脖子，然后坐了下来，拽着绳子的另一端。一个小时后，美人到了，格雷·比弗把绳子交给了他。当美人向前走时，白牙向他发起了攻击。美人预料到了这一点，于是他转过身来，用棍棒打了白牙。在那之后，白牙就跟着他了。他太聪明了，知道不去进攻就不会再被打了。
At the fort, Beauty Smith tied White Fang up and went to bed.The dog waited for an hour, and cut through the rope in ten seconds with his teeth. Then he walked back to Gray Beaver's camp. He didn't have to obey that strange and terrible god. His master was Gray Beaver，and he still belonged to him.
在交易站，美人史密斯把白牙捆了起来，然后上床睡觉。狗等了一个小时，用他的牙齿在十秒钟内切断了绳子。然后他走回了格雷·比弗的营地。他不必服从那个陌生而可怕的神。他的主人是格雷·比弗，他仍然属于他。
But what happened was repeated. Gray Beaver tied him up with a leather rope, and in the morning he gave him back to Beauty. The difference was that Beauty then beat White Fang with a club and a whip. He enjoyed beating him, because he was cruel. After the beating, Beauty dragged White Fang back to the fort and tied him to a stick.
但曾经发生的事情又重演了。格雷·比弗用一根皮绳把他拴起来，到了早上，他把他还给了美人。不同的是，美人用棍子和鞭子打了白牙。他喜欢打白牙，因为他是个残忍的人。打完之后，美人把白牙拖回交易站，把他捆在一根木棍上。
It was more difficult to bite through the stick, but during the night White Fang succeeded, and he went back to Gray Beaver's camp. And the same thing happened for the third time, only this time he was beaten even harder. With difficulty and in great pain, he followed Beauty back to the fort.There he was tied up with a chain which he could not bite through.
咬断棍子更困难，但是夜里白牙还是成功地做到了，他回到了格雷·比弗的营地。同样的事情第三次又发生了，只是这次他被打得更厉害了。他艰难而痛苦地跟着美人回到了交易站。在那里，他被一根不能咬断的铁链拴住了。A few days later, Gray Beaver left, with no money, on his long journey to the Mackenzie. White Fang stayed in Yukon, with his mad and cruel master. But White Fang knew nothing of madness. He knew only that he must obey this new master in everything.几天后，格雷·比弗身无分文地离开了，开始了他去麦肯齐的长途旅行。白牙和他那疯狂又残忍的主人呆在育空堡的交易站里。但是白牙对他的疯狂一无所知。他只知道在每件事上他都必须服从这位新主人。
十、The Reign of Hate恨之入骨
Beauty kept White Fang chained in a pen at the back of the fort. There he teased White Fang, until the dog became enraged. He became the enemy of everything，and he was more ferocious than ever.
美人把白牙锁在交易站后面的一个圈养禽畜的围栏里。他在那里取笑白牙，直到那条狗被激怒了。他成了一切的敌人，他比以往任何时候都更加凶猛。
But Beauty Smith had a purpose. One day, some men gathered around the pen. Beauty entered, club in hand, and took the chain off White Fang's neck. Then a huge mastiff was put inside, and the door was shut. This was a big, fierce-looking dog, but White Fang didn't waste any time. He jumped in and attacked the dog, cutting and biting it everywhere. The mastiff was too slow, and in the end Beauty beat White Fang back with his club, while the owner pulled the mastiff out. Then there was the payment of bets, and there was money in Beauty's hand. White Fang started to look forward to the fights. He wanted to show the life that was in him.
但美人史密斯这么做是他的目的的。一天，一些人聚集在围栏周围。美人进来了，手里拿着棍子，取下白牙脖子上的铁链。然后一只巨大的獒犬被放到里面，门被关上了。这是一只高大而凶猛的狗，但白牙没有浪费任何时间。他跳上去攻击那条狗，在它身上到处撕咬。这只獒犬速度太慢了，最后美人用棍子击退了白牙，獒犬的主人把獒拉了出去。接着是赌注的支付，美人手中有了钱。白牙开始期待战斗。他想展示他内心的生命力。
That autumn, Beauty took White Fang up the Yukon River to Dawson.White Fang was well-known everywhere now as "the fighting wolf", and he was kept in a cage. In Dawson,men paid fifty cents in gold dust to see him.
那年秋天，美人带着白牙沿着育空河来到了道森。白牙现在成了闻名四方的“战狼”，他被关在笼子里。在道森，人们要花价值50美分的金粉才可以看到他。
Sometimes, Beauty took White Fang into the woods to fight. He fought all sizes and breeds of dog. The fights were to the death, and he always won. His greatest advantage was experience. He knew more about fighting than any other dog.
有时，美人会带着白牙到树林里去战斗。他与各种体型和不同品种的狗搏斗。虽是生死决斗，但他总是会赢。他最大的优势是经验。在打斗的经验上，他比其他任何一只狗都多。
As time went by, men knew no dogs could beat him, and Beauty made him fight wolves. A fight between White Fang and a wolf always attracted a crowd. Once he fought a full-grown female lynx. But after the lynx, there were no more fights for White Fang until Tim Keenan arrived, bringing the first bulldog ever to the Klondike. And for a week all people talked about was the fight between White Fang and the bull dog.
随着时间的推移，人们知道了没有狗能打败他，于是美人让他与狼进行搏斗。白牙和狼之间的战斗总是吸引着一群人。有一次他曾经和一只成年的雌性山猫搏斗。但是在山猫之后，白牙再没有参加任何战斗，直到蒂姆·基南带着第一只斗牛犬来到克朗代克河。整整一个星期，所有的人都在谈论白牙和斗牛犬的战斗。
When Beauty Smith took off White Fang's chain, he did not make an immediate attack. A bull dog was new for him. This dog was short, squat and awkward.The bull dog also didn't attack. He didn't know how to fight dogs like White Fang.
当美人史密斯解下白牙的铁链时，他并没有马上进攻。斗牛犬对他来说是新奇的。这只狗又矮又胖，显得很笨拙。斗牛犬也没有攻击。他不知道该怎么和白牙这样的狗搏斗。
Tim Keenan encouraged his dog to attack. Slowly it went towards White Fang, who suddenly struck, cutting the bull dog's neck. Again and again, White Fang jumped in, cut the dog and jumped out, and still the little dog walked around following him, slowly and deliberately. Each dog was puzzled by the other. White Fang never kept still enough for the bull dog to bite, and the bulldog made no reaction to White Fang's cuts.
蒂姆·基南鼓励他的狗进攻。慢慢地，它朝白牙走去，白牙突然猛攻起来，咬破了斗牛犬的脖子。白牙一次又一次地扑过来咬伤这只狗，然后又跳出去，可这矮小的狗仍然只是缓慢但不慌不忙地尾随着他。两只狗都被彼此的战术搞得很迷惑。白牙永远不会坐等斗牛犬咬伤，而斗牛犬对白牙的撕咬毫无反应。
White Fang tried to knock the bulldog off his feet again and again. But the bulldog was too close to the ground and White Fang lost his balance and fell over the smaller dog. White Fang was off his feet for the first time in his dog-fighting history. He landed on his side, and stood up quickly, but at that moment, the bull dog's teeth closed on his throat. He didn't have a good grip. It was too low down on White Fang's chest but the bulldog held on.
白牙一次又一次地想把斗牛犬撞翻在地。但是斗牛犬离地面太近了，白牙失去了平衡，被绊倒了。白牙在他的斗狗史上第一次倒下了。他侧身着地，迅速地站了起来，但就在那一刻，斗牛犬的牙齿咬住了他的喉咙，但没有咬住要害。虽然咬住的部位离白牙的胸膛还有些距离，但斗牛犬咬住了他。
White Fang ran round and round trying to shake off the dog.Soon he was tired, and lay down, with the bulldog still holding on. Slowly the life was going out of White Fang, as the bulldog's hold on his neck stopped him breathing.
白牙奔跑了一圈又一圈，想甩掉那只狗。不久他就累了，倒在地上，斗牛犬还咬着他。斗牛犬咬住了他的脖子使他难以呼吸，白牙的生命在慢慢地消失。
And the bull dog was ready to win, until two men arrived on a sled. They stopped their sled to see what was happening, quickly pushing their way through the men into the ring.“Beasts！”shouted one of them at the crowd.
斗牛犬快要赢得胜利的时候，有两个人坐着雪橇来了。他们停下雪橇想看看发生了什么事，迅速地穿过人群挤进了搏斗场。“你们这群野兽！”其中一人冲着人群喊道。
The two men tried to separate the dogs, but it was a difficult job. In the end, the one called Scott pushed the barrel of his gun between the bulldog's teeth and started to open them, gently and carefully. Finally they separated the two dogs. Scott gave the bulldog to Tim Keenan，saying：“Take him away！”
这两个人试图把两只狗分开，但这是一项困难的工作。最后，一个叫斯科特的人把他的枪管插到斗牛犬的牙齿之间，开始轻轻地、小心翼翼地撬开它的牙齿。他们最终把这两只狗分开了。斯科特把斗牛犬交给蒂姆·基南，说：“把他带走！”
White Fang tried to get up，but he was too weak.
“He's exhausted,”said the other man, who was called Matt，“But he's breathing.”
“Matt, how much does a good sled-dog cost ”asked Scott.
“Three hundred dollars，”he answered.
“And what about one in this condition ”
“Half of that，”replied Matt.
白牙试图站起来，但他太虚弱了。
“他累坏了，”另一个叫马特的人说，“但他还有呼吸。”
“马特，一只好的雪橇狗要多少钱？”斯科特问。
“三百美元，＂他回答。
“那么这种情况下的呢？”
“只值一半价钱吧。”马特回答。
Scott turned to Beauty Smith.“Did you hear that, Mr Beast ”he asked. “I'm going to take your dog from you, and give you one hundred and fifty dollars for him.”“I'm not selling,”said Beauty Smith. “The dog's mine, and a man's got his rights.”
斯科特转向美人史密斯。“你听到了吗，野兽先生？”他问道。“我要把你的狗从你身边带走，给你150美元买下他。”“我不卖。”美人史密斯说。“狗是我的，每个人都有自己的权利。”
“Correct,”said Scott, passing the money to Beauty.“A man's got his rights. But you're not a man；you're a beast.”
“没错，”斯科特说，把钱给了美人。“每个人都有自己的权利。但你不是人，你是野兽。”
十一、The Savior救命恩人
“It's hopeless，” said Scott．
“不要对驯服这条狗抱有任何指望。”斯科特说。
He sat on the step of his cabin and looked at White Fang pulling at his chain，snarling and ferocious.
他坐在木屋的台阶上，望着正使劲拖拽着铁链的白牙，它咆哮着，很凶猛。
“It's a wolf, and we can't tame it,” said Scott. “Someone has tamed him,” replied Matt. “Look at those marks on his chest.”
“这是一只狼，我们驯服不了他。”斯科特说。“可是有人已经驯服他了。”马特回答。“看看他胸前上的那些勒痕。”
“You're right! He was a sled-dog before Beauty Smith had him.”
“你说得对！在美人史密斯弄到他之前，他就是只雪橇狗了.”
“Give him a chance,” suggested Matt. “Untie him and leave him free.”
“给他一个机会吧，”马特建议道。“给他松绑，让他自由。”
Matt picked up a club and went over to White Fang. He opened the chain round White Fang's neck.The dog couldn't believe he was free.
马特拿起一根棍子，向白牙走去。他解开了白牙脖子上的铁链。那只狗不敢相信他竟然自由了。
“Poor thing,” said Scott. “He needs human kindness.”
“可怜的家伙，”斯科特说。“他需要人们对他仁慈一些。”
Scott went into the cabin and returned with some meat. He threw it to White Fang. Immediately one of the other sled-dogs ran to the meat, but White Fang struck him, knocked him down and bit his throat. Matt ran in and started to kick White Fang, but again the dog struck, and this time it was Matt's leg that was bleeding.
斯科特走进木屋，拿着一些肉回来了。他把它扔给了白牙。另一只雪橇狗立刻跑到肉边，但白牙向它撞过去使它倒地，并咬住了他的喉咙。马特跑了进来，开始踢白牙，但这只狗又一次攻击了他，这一次是马特的腿在流血。
“I told you it was hopeless,” said Scott, taking out his gun and checking the bullets in it.
“我说过了，要驯服这条狗是没有指望的。”斯科特说着，拿出了他的枪，检查里面的子弹。
“Look, Scott,” Matt said, “that dog's had a terrible time. You can't expect him to be normal again immediately. Give him some time.”
“听着，斯科特，”马特说，“那狗曾经遭受过磨难。你不能指望他立刻恢复正常。给他点时间。”
White Fang watched Scott approach him, and snarled. He had hurt a superior white god. He was waiting for his punishment.
白牙看着斯科特走近他，咆哮着。他伤害了一位高贵的白神。他在等待他的惩罚。
But Scott sat down a few meters away and talked to White Fang in a calm, gentle way. And somewhere, it touched the dog. He began to have confidence in this god. Scott got up and went back into the cabin. He came out with a small piece of meat. He offered it to White Fang, but the dog was suspicious. In the end he threw the meat at White Fang's feet.
但斯科特坐在几米远的地方，平静而温和地和白牙说着话。这让白牙很感动。他开始对这位神有了信任。斯科特站起来回到木屋里去。他拿了一小块肉出来。他把它丢给了白牙，但那条狗很犹疑。最后，他把肉扔到了白牙的脚边。
Scott repeated this several times, offering the meat, then throwing it to White Fang. Meanwhile, the god was talking, with kindness in his voice-something White Fang did not know. Then Scott went closer, and slowly put his hand on the dog's head, talking all the time. White Fang snarled, and prepared to attack when the beating came.
斯科特重复了这个动作好几次——拿出肉，扔给白牙。与此同时，神在说话，白牙听不懂但那声音带着善意。然后斯科特走近他，慢慢地把手放在他的头上，一直在说话。白牙咆哮着，准备在挨打的时候进行攻击。
But the hand on his head didn't hit White Fang. Scott patted and caressed White Fang. The dog had two feelings at the same time — his old dislike of men's hands, and the pleasant physical feelings of a caress. It was the beginning of a new life for White Fang, and the end of the reign of hate.
但是他头上的手并没有打白牙。斯科特拍了拍他的头，抚摸着他。这只狗同时有两种感觉——既有以前人类之手碰他身体的厌恶之感，也有此刻身体被爱抚的愉悦之感。对白牙来说，这是新生的开始，仇恨的终结。
But love did not come in a day. At first White Fang liked his new master, and did things for him, like guard his property at night. But as the days passed, with petting and caressing and gentle talk, like started to change into love.
但是爱不是一天就能迸发出来的。起先，白牙很喜欢他的新主人，并为他做了一些事情，比如晚上看守他的财产。但是随着日子的过去，伴着主人的轻拍、爱抚和温柔的交谈，他的喜欢慢慢演变成了爱。
In late spring trouble came to White Fang without warning. His love-master disappeared. The days passed. White Fang became so sick that Matt took him inside the cabin, where he lay by the stove and did nothing. And when he wrote to his employer, Matt wrote：
晚春的时候，白牙遇到了麻烦，而这竟然毫无征兆：他忠爱的主人消失了。日子一天天过去了。（由于总见不到主人的缘故，）白牙生病了，病得很厉害，马特把他带到木屋里，但白牙躺在火炉旁，什么也做不了。马特写信给他的雇主，说道：
“That wolf doesn't work and doesn't eat. He has no energy in him. He wants to know where you are, and l don't know how to tell him. Perhaps he's going to die.”
“那只狼干不了活，也不吃东西，一点精神都没有。他想知道你在哪，我不知道怎么和他说这件事。也许他就快要死了。”
Then one night, the door opened and Scott walked in. The two men shook hands, and Scott looked round the room.
一天晚上，房门开了，斯科特走了进来。两个人握了握手，斯科特环顾了一下房间。
“Where's the wolf？”he asked.
“狼在哪呢？”他问。
Then he saw White Fang and walked across the room, calling to him. White Fang went to him, quickly. Scott knelt down and petted him.White Fang was so happy that he moved his head between Scott's arm and body, rubbing against him.
然后，他看到了白牙，就穿过房间，大声叫他。白牙迅速地向他走过来。斯科特屈下膝来抚摸他。白牙高兴极了，他钻进斯科特的怀里，摇头晃脑，蹭来蹭去。
The two men looked at each other. Scott's eyes were shining.
这两个人心照不宣地望了望彼此。斯科特的眼睛闪闪发光。
One night, the two men were playing cards, when they heard snarling and a scream outside.
一天晚上，这两个人在打牌时，听到外面的咆哮声和尖叫声。
“The wolf's got somebody，”Matt said.
“狼咬人了。”马特说。
They ran outside. White Fang was attacking a man who was trying to protect his throat, with blood running down both arms. Scott pulled White Fang away, and Matt helped the man to his feet.They saw that it was Beauty Smith. Then they noticed that on the ground there was a large club and a steel chain.
他们跑到外面。白牙正在攻击一个正拼命护住喉咙的人，血正从那人的两只手臂上流下来。斯科特把白牙拉开，马特扶着那个人站了起来。他们发现那是美人史密斯。然后他们注意到地上有一根大棍子和一条铁链。
“Tried to steal you, did he ” said Scott to White Fang, patting his head. “And you didn't want to go! Well, he made a mistake, didn't he？”
“他想偷走你，是不是？”斯科特轻轻拍着白牙的头，对他说着话。“你不想走！他犯了个错误，对不对？”
十二、The Long Trail出趟远门
White Fang sensed something terrible. He was whining softly outside the cabin.
白牙有种不好的预感。他在小木屋外低声哭泣。
“I think he knows，” said Matt. “What can I do with a wolf in California ” asked Scott.
“我想他知道你要干什么了。”马特说道。“可要是把他一起带到了加州，我又能为他做些什么呢？”斯科特问道。
Then White Fang saw his love-master packing his things into a bag. His god was going away again, and, like last time, he wasn't taking White Fang with him. That night he howled the long wolf-howl, pointing his nose to the stars and telling them of his sadness.
接着白牙看到他忠爱的主人把他的东西装进一个袋子里。他的神又要出远门了，如同上次一样，他不会带走白牙。那天晚上，他发出长久地哀嚎，仰望着星星，告诉它们他的悲伤。
The next day Scott called White Fang into the cabin.“You poor thing,”he said, rubbing his ears. “I'm starting the long trail, where you cannot follow. Now give me a last goodbye growl.”
第二天，斯科特把白牙叫进了木屋。“你这个可怜的家伙。”他用手抚摸着他的耳朵说。“我要出趟远门，你不能跟着去。现在再叫一声吧，就当是给我说最后一声再见吧。”
But White Fang didn't growl. He put his head between his master's arm and body. Then, at that moment from the Yukon River，the boat's whistle sounded.“You need to go now，”said Matt.
但是白牙没有叫。他一头钻进主人的怀里。这时，从育空河出发的轮船鸣起了汽笛声。“你现在得出发了。”马特说。
The two men locked the doors and went outside. From inside they could hear White Fang whining and crying.“Take good care of him，Matt,”said Scott. White Fang was howling like dogs do when their master is dead.
两个人锁上了门出去了。他们听见了屋内白牙的啜泣声。“照顾好他，马特。”斯科特说。白牙哀号着，像狗的主人死了一样悲嚎。
Down by the river, everything was busy. The two men stood shaking hands, but Matt's hand suddenly dropped as he looked past his employer. Scott turned around. Sitting on the deck a few meters away was White Fang.
河边，一切都很繁忙。两个人站在那里握手告别，但当马特从他的雇主身边看过去时，他的手突然松开了。斯科特转过身来，几米开外的甲板上蹲坐着白牙。
The ship's whistle hooted again to announce the departure. People ran down onto the bank. Matt went to get White Fang. He wanted to use his scarf as a lead.
轮船的汽笛声再次响起，宣告就要启航了。人们跑上了河岸。马特去捉白牙，想用他的围巾系住他，不让他走。
“Goodbye, Matt,”said Scott. “And about the wolf, don't write about him. I'll write to you！”
“再见了，马特。”斯科特说。“还有那只狼，不用写信告诉我他的情况了，我会写信告诉你的！”
“You don't mean... ”started Matt. “The climate in California will be difficult for a wolf.”
“你该不是说……”马特吃了一惊。“狼可受不了加州的气候。”
The ship moved out into the river. Scott waved a last goodbye. Then he turned and bent over White Fang.“Now growl, will you, growl!”he said, as he patted the dog's head.
船驶入河中。斯科特挥手作别。然后，他转过身，俯下身来看着白牙。“现在叫吧，好吗，叫吧！”他拍了拍狗的头，说道。
十三、The Southland 南方生活
White Fang landed in San Francisco. Here the white men really seemed like powerful gods. There were towering buildings, automobiles and electric trams. It was amazing and frightening He felt even more dependent on his love-master.
白牙在旧金山上了岸。在这里，白人看起来真的像是强大的神，还有高耸的建筑物、汽车和电车。这让白牙感到惊奇又害怕，他感觉到要更依赖忠爱的主人。
They got a train and White Fang found himself outside the city in wonderful, sunny countryside.A carriage was waiting and a man and woman walked towards them. White Fang growled when Scott's mother embraced him, but Scott calmed him and they drove off in the carriage to a large house.
他们坐上了一辆火车，很快白牙就发现自己已在城外，身处阳光明媚的乡村里。一辆马车在等候着，一男一女朝他们走来。当斯科特的妈妈拥抱他时，白牙咆哮起来，但斯科特让他平静下来，他们一起坐着马车去了一所大房子。
As soon as they arrived, White Fang was attacked by a sheep-dog called Collie, and a deer hound called Dick. White Fang attacked Dick and nearly killed him but he didn't attack Collie because she was female, and that was the rule.
他们一到，白牙就被一只叫科利的牧羊犬和一只叫狄克的猎鹿犬袭击了。白牙攻击了狄克，差点杀了他，但他没有攻击牧羊犬，因为她是雌性，这是规矩。
All White Fang wanted was to be left alone. Dick soon agreed to this, and they no longer took any interest in each other. However, Collie remembered wolves stealing sheep, and she couldn't accept him. She regularly attacked him, but he never once hurt her because she was female.
白牙只是想独来独往。狄克很快接受了这个事实，他们对彼此就不再感兴趣了。然而，牧羊犬记得狼会偷羊，她不能接受他。她经常攻击他，但他从来没有伤害过她，因为她是雌性。
Next White Fang learned about his master's family. He learned who was most important to Scott. He was soon able to tolerate, then even like his master's children. However, he never saw the other members of the family as anything but possessions of his master.
接着，白牙了解了主人的家庭情况。他知道了谁对斯科特最重要。他很快就能容忍主人的家人了，甚至喜欢上了主人的孩子。然而，在他眼里，其他人除了是主人的财产之外什么都不是。
He learned about the other animals that were around the house, too. In the North land, where he came from, all small animals were food for any dog that was hungry. So, when he found a nice fat chicken here in California, he killed it and ate it as he did in the North land. Later the same day,he found another,and one of the grooms ran to save it, with a whip in his hand. He hit White Fang with it, and the dog cut his arm to the bone. The groom was only saved by Collie running at White Fang in anger.
他也了解了房子周围的其他动物。在他出生的北方，所有小动物都是饿狗的食物。所以，当他在加州的这个地方发现了一只肥美的鸡时，他杀了它，吃了它，如同在北方一样。当天晚些时候，他发现了另一只，一个马夫拿着鞭子跑去救鸡。他给了白牙一鞭子，狗咬得他皮开肉绽。要不是被愤怒地冲到白牙身边的牧羊犬救出来，马夫会当场丧命。
The next day, the groom showed Scott fifty dead chickens in the chicken yard. Scott talked harshly to White Fang who understood his anger.Then Scott held White Fang's nose next to a dead chicken and hit him quite hard. His master later took him into the chicken yard, and they walked up and down together. Every time he went towards a chicken, his master's voice stopped him. In this way he learned not to kill chickens.
第二天，马夫在养鸡场给斯科特看了五十只死鸡。斯科特严厉地斥责了白牙，白牙听懂了他的愤怒。然后斯科特把白牙的鼻子紧贴着一只死鸡，狠狠地揍了一顿。他的主人后来把他带到养鸡场，他们一起走来走去。每当他向一只鸡走去，主人的声音就会阻止他。这样他就学会了不能杀鸡。
He also learned that he should not touch cats, turkeys and domesticated rabbits, but that it was fine to kill wild rabbits, quail and squirrels.
他还学会了不应该攻击猫、火鸡和家兔，但他可以杀死野兔、鹌鹑和松鼠。
When he went into San Jose with his master, there were many rules. There were butcher's shops where the meat hung in easy reach, but he must not touch it. There were cats at the houses the master visited that he had to leave alone. There were dogs everywhere that snarled at him and he could not attack them.And there were little b
