And when, on the still cold nights, he pointed his nose at a star and howled long and wolflike, it was his ancestors, dead and dust, pointing nose at star and howling down through the centuries and through him.
在寂静寒冷的夜里,当他向着星辰仰起鼻子,发出狼一般悠长的嚎叫,那也是早已化为尘土的祖先在仰望星辰,穿过漫长世纪,借他的声音长嚎。
— Jack London · The Call of the Wild (1903) · Chapter II · The Law of Club and Fang —
