Chapter 8

Chapter 8 "Yipes!" shouted Taylor. An enormous dog was running his way. Taylor could hear her ferocious barking. He could smell her dangerous scent. He could see the slobber hanging from her lips.

“耶！”泰勒喊道。 一只巨大的狗正向他跑来。 泰勒能听到它凶恶的吠叫。 他能闻到她那危险的气味。 他可以看到她的嘴唇上挂着口水。

Snap! Taylor curled into a spiky ball. The ball rolled into the water and began to float downstream. The dog reached the water's edge and barked loudly. jmkfho. She paced back and forth, ready to leap in.

中计了!泰勒蜷缩成一个尖尖的球。 球滚进水里，开始向下游漂去。 狗到了水边，大声地叫着。 她来回踱步，准备跳进去。

Just then, Sydney strolled out from under a bush. "Well, hello there!" said Sydney, swishing his tail back and forth. "Mighty fine day, wouldn't you say?"

就在这时，西德尼从灌木丛下溜达出来。 “嘿，你们好！”西德尼说着，前后甩动着尾巴。 “天气真好，你说呢？”

The giant dog stopped barking. She couldn't understand Sydney's words. Dogs had lost their wildness by living with humans. They could no longer speak the language of the wild. Still, they could be fierce.

大狗停止了吠叫。 她听不懂西德尼的话。 狗因为和人类生活在一起而失去了野性。 他们再也不会说野外的语言了。 不过，它们可能很凶猛。
