狼

When we told them how we plac'd our selves, and the Horses in the Middle, they blam'd us exceedingly, and told us it was fifty to one but we had been all destroy'd; for it was the Sight of the Horses which made the Wolves so furious, Seeing their Prey; and that at other Times they are really afraid of a Gun; but the being excessive Hungry, and raging on that Account, the Eagerness to come at the Horses had made them sensless of Danger; and that if we had not by the continu'd Fire, and at last by the Stratagem of the Train of Powder, master'd them, it had been great Odds but that we had been torn to Pieces; whereas had we been content to have sat still on Horseback, and fir'd as Horsemen, they would not have taken the Horses for so much their own, when Men were on their Backs, as otherwise; and withal they told us, that at last, if we had stood altogether, and left our Horses, they would have been so eager to have devour'd them, that we might have come off safe, especially having our Fire Arms in our Hands, and being so many in Number.

狼主要是想吃马。它们之所以那样奋不顾身冲上来，是由于看到了我们身后的马。一般来说，狼是怕枪的，但当它们饿疯时，就会不顾危险，只想抢马吃了。要不是我们连续开枪，并且最后用点燃火药的办法把他们吓退，我们大概早就给那些饿狼撕成碎片吃掉了。其实，只要我们安安稳稳地坐在马上，像骑兵那样向狼群开枪，它们看到马上有人，就不会把马看作猎物了。最后，他们又说，如果我们大家紧挨在一起，丢开我们的马，狼就一心只想吃马而不会管我们，我们也可平安通过，更何况我们有武器，而且人多势众。对我来说，这次遇险，是我一生中最可怕的一次。当时，我看到三百多个恶魔般的畜牲嚎叫着向我们冲来，张开大嘴恨不得一口把我们吞掉，而我们又无处可躲，无处可退，我以为一定完蛋了。

I was loath to spend our last shot too hastily; so I called my servant, not my man Friday, for he was better employed; for with the greatest dexterity imaginable, he had charged my fuse, and his own, while we were engaged; but as I said, I called my other man, and giving him a horn of powder, I bad him lay a train, all along the piece of timber, and let it be a large train; he did so, and had but just time to get away, when the wolves came up to it, and some were got up upon it; when I snapping an uncharged pistol, close to the powder, set it on fire; those that were upon the timber were scorched with it, and six or seven of them fell, or rather jumped in among us, with the force and fright of the fire; we dispatched these in an instant, and the rest were so frightened with the light, which the night, for it was now very near dark, made more terrible, that they drew back a little.

我不愿匆匆放最后的一枪，就叫来了自己的仆人，但不是"星期五"；"星期五"正在做更重要的事，在我们忙碌的时候，他以惊人的速度给我和他自己装弹药。所以我叫的是新雇的仆人，我给了他一角火药，命令他把火药铺在长木头上，铺成一条又宽又厚的火药线。他照着做了。他刚离开，狼群就冲了过来，有几只已经上了长木头。我拿着我没有开过火的手枪，贴近火药，扣动扳机，火药顿时燃烧起来。长木头上的那几只狼被火药烧伤了；有六、七只狼，由于火药的威力，也由于害怕火光，跌倒或跳进我们中间，我们立即把它们解决了。其他的狼也被火光吓住了，这时天色近乎漆黑，火光在黑夜里更加可怕，狼这才后退了几步。

Virtually wiped out in the wild due to constant hunting (they were thought to be a threat to sheep and other small farm animals) and the encroachment of humans on their already limited habitat the Thylacine was finally recognized as being in danger of becoming extinct in 1936, too little, too late as that same year the last Thylacine, named Benjamin, died on 7 September as the result of neglect — locked out of its sheltered sleeping quarters and exposed to freezing temperatures at night in Hobart Zoo, Tasmania. 60 years on there are still claims of sightings but all are yet to be confirmed.

由于不断的狩猎（人们认为它们对羊群和其他小农场动物是一种威胁）以及人类侵占了它们本已十分有限的栖息地，袋狼的数量实际已经跌减，最终于1936年被认定为濒危灭绝物种，可是太晚了，袋狼的数量已经极少，也就在那年的9月7日，最后一只袋狼本杰明不幸死在了人类的疏忽之下---塔斯马尼亚的霍巴特动物园将其锁在了卧榻之外，导致本杰明在冰冷的寒夜里挨了整整一宿的冻。60年之后，虽然仍有人声称看到过袋狼出现，但是都没有得到确认。

The next Morning our Guide was so ill, and his Limbs swell'd with the rankling of his two Wounds, that he could go no farther; so we were oblig'd to take a new Guide there, and go to Tholouse, where we found a warm Climate, a fruitful pleasant Country, and no Snow, no Wolves, or any Thing like them; but when we told our Story at Tholouse, they told us it was nothing but what was ordinary in the great Forest at the Foot of the Mountains, especially when the Snow lay on the Ground: But they enquir'd much what kind of a Guide we had gotten, that would venture to bring us that Way in such a severe Season; and told us, it was very much' we were not all devour'd.

我们只得雇了一个新向导，把我们带到土鲁斯。那儿气候温和，物产丰富，风景明媚，既没有雪，也没有狼或其他猛兽。当我们在土鲁斯把我们的经历告诉那些当地人时，他们对我们说，在山下大森林里，碰到狼是常事，尤其是当白雪覆盖大地，狼就成群出现。他们再三问我们，我们雇了哪个向导，竟敢在大雪天带我们走这条路。他们说，我们没有给狼吃掉，真是万幸！我们告诉他们，我们是把马围在中间，摆成一个三角形的阵势打退狼群的。他们听了后大大责怪了我们一阵子，说我们没有把命送掉，真是运气。
