Continuation Writing
Russ Fee was asleep inside his tent last summer when a series of screams jolted him awake. Throwing on his shoes, he ran out to investigate. Fee and his wife were traveling through Canada’s Banff National Park to enjoy its stunning beauty and awesome wildlife. It was the latter he now encountered(遇到). Although it was dark, Fee could detect a neighboring tent in a mess. Backing out was a wolf, dragging something in his teeth. That thing was a man.

encounter a wolf
one night,last summer
Moments earlier, Elisa and Matt Rispoli, from New Jersey, were asleep with their two young children when the wolf tore into their tent. It was like something out of a horror movie. For three minutes Matt threw his body in front of Elisa and the boys who would stand little chance of running faster than a wolf and fought the wolf with bare hands. At one point, Matt got the upper hand, pinning the wolf to the ground. But the wolf clamped its jaw onto Matt’s arm, set its powerful legs, and began tugging(拖,拽) Matt outside while Elisa was pulling on his legs trying to get him back.

Wolves are large, Fee felt like he had punched someone that was way out of his weight class. He could feel its heavy breath on his face and he could smell the terrible pungent(刺激性的) ordor it emitted(发出), fishy, oily and bloody.

The wolf turned its anger on Fee, exposing his sharp teeth and snarling at him. Terrified, Fee withdrew a bit. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw his minivan was not far away. Meanwhile, panicked as they were, the two boys concealed themselves at a safe distance from the battle. The elder boy used the satellite phone to call for help.

《纳尼亚传奇》(The Chronicles of Narnia)
The Naiads and Dryads were scattering in every direction. Lucy was running towards him as fast as her short legs would carry her and her face was as white as paper. Then he saw Susan make a dash for a tree, and swing herself up, followed by a huge grey beast. At first Peter thought it was a bear. Then he saw that it looked like an Alastian, thought it was far too big to be a dog.泉水精和树精正在四处逃散。露西撒开两条小短腿,飞快地向他跑去,脸色吓得苍白。然后,他看到苏珊冲向一棵树,纵身爬了上去。一只灰色的巨兽在追她。起初彼得以为是头熊。后来又觉得像一只阿尔萨斯犬,但是它体型太大了,不能是一只狗。

Then he realized that it was a wolf – a wolf standing on its hind legs, with its front paws against the tree-trunk, snapping and snarling. All the hair on its back stood up on end. Susan had not been able to get higher than the second big branch. One of her legs hung down so that her foot was only an inch or two above the snapping teeth.然后他意识到那是一匹狼——那匹狼用后腿站着,前爪扑在树干上,又咬又吼。它背上的毛全都竖起来了。苏珊爬到第二根大树枝,便无法爬得更高了。她的一条腿荡了下来,脚距离乱咬的狼牙只有一两英寸。
Peter did not feel very brave; indeed, he felt he was going to be sick. But that made no difference to what he had to do. He rushed straight up to the monster and aimed a slash of his sword at its side. That stroke never reached the Wolf. Quick as lightning it turned round, its eyes flaming, and its mouth wide open in a howl of anger.彼得觉得自己一点也不勇敢,真的,他觉得自己都要吐了。但这丝毫不影响他必须要做的事。他径直向猛兽冲去,把利剑对准了它的一侧砍了过去。那一击没有击中狼。它像闪电一样迅速地转过身来,眼睛冒火,张大了嘴,怒吼着。
The wolf stared at him for a moment in silence, lashing his tail wrathfully. 有那么一会儿,那匹狼静静地盯着他,愤怒地甩着尾巴。
Suddenly the wolf pricked up his ears, baring his teeth with an angry snarl. 突然,那匹狼竖起耳朵,呲牙咧嘴愤怒地咆哮着。

Possible endings of the wolf
Hearing the sirens, the wolf tried to flee, but was tracked down by park officials and euthanized.听到警笛声,狼试图逃跑,但被公园管理人员追上并实施了安乐死。

He turned pale with fright and sweat broke out all over his body. 他大惊失色,汗流浃背。
He could hear nothing but the sound of his hearts throbbing violently in his chest. 他什么也听不见,只有他胸口剧烈跳动的心跳声。
His heart beat so violently that he felt nearly suffocated.他心跳得太厉害了,几乎感到窒息。
Scared, he felt his throat dry, his palms sweating and his legs trembling.他吓得喉咙发干,手心冒汗,双腿发抖。
Suddenly the wolf pricked up his ears, baring his teeth with an angry snarl which made everyone jump with fright. 突然,那匹狼竖起耳朵,呲牙咧嘴愤怒地咆哮着。每个人都吓得跳了起来。
A shiver of fright ran through him when the wolf stared at him in silence.那匹狼静静地盯着他。恐怖的颤栗掠过了他全身。
He tried to steady his hands, but they quivered uncontrollably. 他想使自己的手稳住不动,但它们不听使唤还是颤抖着。
We all breathed a sigh of relief when the wolf had fled. 狼逃跑后,我们都松了一口气。
They congratulated each other on their narrow escape.他们互相拥抱,庆幸自己死里逃生。
They hugged each other tightly, tears in their eyes. 他们互相紧紧拥抱,泪水盈眶。
Tears streaming down her face, Elisa offered her heartfelt gratitude. Elisa泪流满面,表示衷心的感谢。
The Rispolis hugged him and told him how fortunate they were. Rispolis夫妇拥抱了他,告诉他他们是多么幸运。
“Without Russ Fee, ”said Elisa, “the attack could have been so, so much worse.” “如果没有Russ Fee,” Elisa说,“这次被袭后果会严重多了。”
Feeling safe, the Rispolis breathed a sigh of relief and were obliged to Fee for helping him getting them out of the plight. 感到安全了, Rispolis夫妇松了一口气,感谢Fee帮助他们摆脱困境。
