It was heavy work; the sledge was loaded with letters for the gold miners of Dawson.

任重而道远, 雪撬上载满了给道桑寻找金矿的人的信件。

Buck did not like it, but he worked hard, and made the other dogs work hard, too.

巴克很不喜欢, 但他非常努力地工作, 带着别的狗一起费力地拉着车。

Each day was the same.

日复一日,

They started early, before it was light, and at night they stopped and camped and the dogs ate.

他们披星戴月, 起早贪黑。

For the dogs this was the best part of the day, first eating, then resting by the fire.

对于狗来说, 晚上停下来安营喂饱肚子是一天中最美好的时光, 先吃一顿饭, 再靠到火边休息。

Buck liked to lie by the fire, looking at the burning wood.

但有时他会记起别的事情, 这些东西来自他的父母, 他父母的父母, 以及他所有的祖先。

Sometimes as he lay there, he seemed to see, in a waking dream, a different fire.

有时候他躺在那儿。他似乎在清醒的遐想中看到了另一堆火焰。
