Selected Stories by Xuemo
《雪漠小说精选》是西部文学代表作家雪漠创作的、完全立足于西部大地的短篇小说集。本书包括《新疆爷》、《月儿》、《深夜的蚕豆声》、《豺狗子》4篇小说。故事里，穷困苍老的新疆爷因有着干净美好、不掺杂一丝欲望的爱而过着平淡安详的生活；得了脏病的月儿虽然在迷乱的城市中失足，但在生命的最后阶段因为那纯净的向往而解脱；在饥荒困境中，有着侠义担当的雪羽儿却差点被舅舅一家吃掉；兰兰和莹儿在沙漠中九死一生，在面对各种“豺狗子”时，与命运做着顽强的抗争，险而逃生。
Selected Works of Xue Mo Novels is a collection of short stories written by Xue Mo, a representative writer of Western literature, which is completely based on the western land. This book includes four novels, Xinjiangye, Yue'er, The Sound of Broad Beans at Night and Jackal. In the story, the poor and old Xinjiangye leads a peaceful life because of his clean and beautiful love without any desire; the sick Yue'er breaks down in the confused City, but is relieved because of her pure yearning in the later stage of her life; in the famine predicament, Xueyu'er, who has the chivalrous responsibility, is almost eaten by her uncle's family; Lanlan and Yinger experienced a slim chance of surviving in the desert, they fight against fate tenaciously and escape from danger. 从表面看，雪漠的小说故事情节，无论是爱情还是亲情，其中总透露出苍凉与悲惨，但深思又觉出主人公们是在倔强地过着自己的西部沙漠生活，用自己的方式实现内心的平衡与祥和。因此，这些小说读来总有一种沉重的感觉，让人久久回味。同时，作者在故事中加入了沙漠、骆驼、豺狗子、黄沙等许多西部生活元素，使得全书透出独特而浓郁的西部气息，这也是本书的最大特点之一。On the surface, the plot of Xue Mo's novel, whether love or family affection, always reveals desolation and misery. However, after deep thinking, the protagonists are living their own life in the western desert stubbornly, achieving inner balance and peace in their own way. Therefore, these novels always have a heavy feeling, which makes people aftertaste. At the same time, the author adds many Western life elements such as desert, camel, jackal, yellow sand and so on to the story, which makes the book have a unique and strong Western flavor, which is one of the characteristics of the book.

The Women, the Camels and the Dholes 156
《豺狗子》156
The sound of a squirming stomach is frightful. No words can do it justice, in fact. Imagine yourself in the desert without water for three days, and your last breath is about to leave your body. Then imagine coming to a lake of fresh water. That’s the noise you would make, and it comes not from the vocal chords, but the soul. It is like the howling of a tornado, filling the heavens, transformed into dancing, fighting hands. It’s hard to put these down as musical notes. The camel did not like these thieving hands, they wanted to take possession of the oil. With shouts of Charge! and Kill!, they clattered past. Those sounds were embarrassing and the camel looked at the woman proffering the bottle in mute apology.怪物般的胃的蠕动声很可怕，你是从来没听过那声音的。你可以用世上所有的词汇来形容它，但都显得很苍白。你要是在沙漠渴上三天后，当你气息奄奄魂儿快要飞上半天时，要是看到一晕清凉的湖水时，你也会发出那种声音。但它不是声带发出的，真是出自灵魂。那声音啸卷如天旋风，充斥于九天之外，但很难用音符来再现。骆驼当然听得见那叫声。它甚至觉得有无数只手伸进胃里，它们也是那声音的制造者。驼很不喜欢那些乱舞的手，它们是一群强盗。它们想将那点儿润滑据为己有，它们叫冲呀杀呀叼呀抢呀。它们发出杂沓的脚步声。驼很为它们羞愧。它心虚地望望举瓶的女人。它很想解释，却想不出该说些啥。The bandit hands robbed the stomach of all this slippery liquid, mopping it up like a sponge, like a whale slurping up krill, until quite suddenly, there was not a single drop left. Expectantly these robbers waited for more. So did the camel. The woman shook the bottle to encourage the last drops from the inside of the bottle, and the camel felt the knocking against its teeth.驼体内那些疯狂的大手很快就抢光了进入胃里的稠滑的液体。那形势，像海绵吸水，像春雨灌碱滩，像蝌蚪入鲸口，总之是无声无息又点滴不留。它们意犹未尽地期待更多的来者。驼也一样。但那瓶嘴嗑牙声还是响了。为了使瓶壁上的清油完全滑入驼口，女人摇摇瓶口。驼觉得牙一阵震动。
