And the paradox of living is that this ecstasy that comes when one is most alive, comes as a complete forgetfulness(忽略) that one is alive.

This ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living, comes to the artist, caught up and out of himself in a sheet of flaming color;

it comes to the soldier, war-mad on a field of death but refusing to surrender;

and it came to Buck, leading the pack, sounding the old wolf-cry, straining after the food that was alive and that fled swiftly before him through the moonlight.

生命的矛盾之处在于，当你充满生机时有种狂喜的感觉，甚至你会完全忘记自己还活着。 这种狂喜，这种会忘记自己还活着的狂喜，于艺术家而言，就是将自己沉浸在烈焰般的激情中。 而对于士兵而言，就是在战场上便是个宁死不屈的战争狂。 对于Buck而言，便是在这月光之下，带领这个狗群，如古老的狼族般嚎叫着，追逐在他前面飞奔的鲜活的猎物。
