His muscles were surcharged with vitality, and snapped into play sharply, like steel springs. Life streamed through him in splendid flood, glad and rampant, until it seemed that it would burst him asunder in sheer ecstasy and pour forth generously over the world.
他的肌肉充满活力,动作迅疾,犹如钢制弹簧。生命在他体内如壮丽的洪流奔涌,欢欣而蓬勃,仿佛要以纯粹的狂喜撑开他的身体,慷慨地倾泻到整个世界。
— Jack London · The Call of the Wild (1903) · Chapter VII · The Sounding of the Call —
