被打中的

I scarce knew in what Manner to receive them; but found to draw our selves in a close Line was the only Way: so we form'd in a Moment: But that we might not have too much Interval, I order'd, that only every other Man should fire, and that the others who had not fir'd should stand ready to give them a second Volley immediately, if they continued to advance upon us, and that then those who had fir'd at first, should not pretend to load their Fusees again, but stand ready with every one a Pistol; for we were all arm'd with a Fusee, and a Pair of Pistols each Man; so we were by this Method able to fire six Volleys, half of us at a Time; however, at present we had no Necessity; for upon firing the first Volley, the Enemy made a full Stop, being terrify'd as well with the Noise, as with the Fire; four of them being shot into the Head, dropp'd, several others were wounded, and went bleeding off, as we could see by the Snow: I found they stopp'd, but did not immediately retreat; whereupon remembring that I had been told, that the fiercest Creatures were terrify'd at the Voice of a Man, I caus'd all our Company to hollow as loud as we could; and I found the Notion not altogether mistaken; for upon our Shout, they began to retire, and turn about; then I order'd a second Volley to be fir'd, in their Rear, which put them to the Gallop, and away they went to the Woods.

我简直不知道如何对付它们。结果，我认为最好的办法是我们互相靠拢，排成一行。于是，我们马上照此行事。为了不致使我们的火力中断太久，我下令只许一半人开枪，另一半人作好准备；如果第一排枪响过后，狼群继续向我们冲来，就开第二排枪；同时，在开第二排枪时，那开第一排枪的一半人，不要忙于装他们的长枪，而是应该抽出手枪，作好准备。因为我们每人身上都有一支长枪和两支手枪。用这种办法，我们可以连续开六排枪，每次有一半人开枪。然而，当时还没有必要这样做。放出第一排枪之后，我们的敌人就给枪声和火光吓坏了，马上停止了前进。有四条狼被我们打中头部，倒了下来；另外有几条受了伤，鲜血淋淋地跑掉了。这在雪地上可以看得一清二楚。我发现，狼群停止了攻击，但没有后退。这时，我忽然记起有人说过，就是最凶猛的野兽，听见人的声音也会害怕。于是我就叫大家拼命呐喊。这个办法果然很有效。我们一喊，狼群就开始后退，掉头跑掉了。我又下令朝它们背后开了一排枪。这样一来，它们才撒腿跑回树林里去了。这时，我们才有时间重新给枪装上弹药。

But never was a fight managed so hardily, and in such a surprising manner, as that which followed between Friday and the bear, which gave us all (though at first we were surprised and afraid for him) the greatest diversion imaginable: as the bear is a heavy, clumsy creature, and does not gallop as the wolf does, who is swift, and light; so he has two particular qualities, which generally are the rule of his actions; first, as to men, who are not his proper prey; I say, not his proper prey; because though I cannot say what excessive hunger might do, which was now their case, the ground being all covered with snow; but as to men, he does not usually attempt them, unless they first attack him: on the contrary, if you meet him in the woods, if you don't meddle with him, he won't meddle with you; but then you must take care to be very civil to him, and give him the road; for he is a very nice gentleman, he won't go a step out of his way for a prince; nay, if you are really afraid, your best way is to look another way, and keep going on; for sometimes if you stop, and stand still, and look steadily at him, he takes it for an affront; but if you throw or toss any thing at him, and it hits him, though it were but a bit of a stick, as big as your finger, he takes it for an affront, and sets all his other business aside to pursue his revenge; for he will have satisfaction in point of honour; that is his first quality: the next is, that if he be once affronted, he will never leave you, night or day, till he has his revenge; but follows at a good round rate, till he overtakes you.

再没有什么战斗比"星期五"和大熊之间后来那场战斗更勇敢和更惊险的了。这场大战起初确实使我们感到很惊险，但最后却给了我们大家无比的娱乐。熊这种动物身体笨重，行动迟缓；不像狼那样一路小跑，又快又轻。因此熊具有两个特性，作为它的一般行动规则：第一、先说人，人不是熊的合适的猎物，我是说的"合适的猎物"；当然，像现在这种情况，地上全被大雪覆盖，熊极端饥饿时是否也会吃人，我就不敢说了。不过，人一般不要去攻击熊，除非熊首先攻击人；相反，要是你在树林里遇到熊，你不去惹它，它也不会惹你。不过你得特别小心，要对它特别客气，给它让路，因为它是一位非常可爱的绅士，就是王子，熊也不会给他让开一步的；如果你真的害怕，最好不要看它，继续走你的路。如果你停下来，站着不动，盯着看它，它就认为是对它的挑衅。如果你向它扔什么东西，打中了它，哪怕是一根只有手指头粗的棍子，它也认为是对它一种挑衅，就会不顾一切，实行报复；因为只有把荣誉挣回来他才会感到满足。这是熊的第一个特性。第二个特性是：熊一旦受到挑衅，就会日夜跟着你，直到报完了仇；哪怕绕上许多路，也要跟着你，直到把你抓住。

I am twenty-two blocks from where Rudolph Valentino lay in state, eight blocks from where Nathan Hale was executed, five blocks from the publisher's office where Ernest Hemingway hit Max Eastman on the nose, four miles from where Walt Whitman sat sweating out editorials for the Brooklyn Eagle, thirty-four blocks from the street Willa Cather lived in when she came to New York to write books about Nebraska, one block from where Marceline used to clown on the boards of the Hippodrome, thirty-six blocks from the spot where the historian Joe Gould kicked a radio to pieces in full view of the public, thirteen blocks from where Harry Thaw shot Stanford White, five blocks from where I used to usher at the Metropolitan Opera and only 112 blocks from the spot where Clarence Day the elder was washed of his sins in the Church of the Epiphany (I could continue this list indefinitely); and for that matter I am probably occupying the very room that any number of exalted and somewise memorable characters sat in, some of them on hot, breathless afternoons, lonely and private and full of their own sense of emanations from without..

二十二条街外，鲁道夫·瓦伦蒂诺的遗体曾供人吊唁；八条街外，内森·海尔被处决；五条街外的出版社办公室里，欧内斯特·海明威一拳打中马科斯·伊斯特曼的鼻子；四英里外沃尔特·惠特曼曾汗流浃背地为《布鲁克林鹰报》社论主笔；三十四条街外是威拉·卡瑟在纽约写内布拉斯加故事时的住所；一条街外的西波佐恩剧院台，西班牙小丑玛瑟林上台演出，三十六条街外，历史学家乔·古尔德当众将一台收音机踢得粉碎；十三条街外，哈利·绍枪杀斯坦福·怀特；五条街外的大都会歌剧院我当过引座员；一百一十二条街外，老克拉伦斯·岱于主显节教堂洗净了罪孽（这个单子可以无穷无尽地列下去）；而且说起来，我呆着的这个房间，或许就有不少尊贵的、各有其难忘之处的人物坐过，也曾有人在热得喘不过气来的下午，寂寞而私密，满心感受着外来之力。

Suddenly I fall to the ground and it is only when I wake up that I realize I was shot by a hunter, brought down by the burden of not the bullet but the soul of the man who shot it.

忽然间，我掉了下来……醒来后才发明本来自己被猎人打中了，但是令我坠落的不是他的子弹，几招对付银行里态度恶劣的工作人员搞笑+实用），而是他的灵魂。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
