He staggered, still trying to hold off the cold bite of death.他踉跄着，仍然试图抵挡死亡的冰冷咬咬。He had seen this before, but always from the winning side.他以前也见过这种情况，但总是从胜利者的角度看。Now he was on the losing side; the defeated; the prey; death.现在他站在了失败的一方；被击败的一方；猎物；死亡的一方。Buck circled for the final blow, the ring of dogs pressed closer.巴克绕圈准备发动最后一击，而狗群则围得更紧了。He could feel their hot breaths; ready for the kill.他能感觉到他们灼热的呼吸；准备杀戮。A stillness fell; all was in its place; time had stopped.一切都安静下来；一切都恢复了原状；时间停止了。Even the cold air between them froze for one last moment.就连两人之间冰冷的空气，也在最后一刻凝固了。
