主题：【讨论】第五期专业英语翻译之星开幕了

其它几段感觉都挺难的，有很多词句理解的不知道是不是准确，大家讨论一下吧

Those unable to decipher the hidden meaning know nevertheless that it is there, for it is felt in all wolf country, and distinguishes that country from all other land. It tingles in the spine of all who hear wolves by night, or who scan their tracks by day. Even without sight or sound of wolf, it is implicit in a hundred small events: the midnight whinny of a pack horse, the rattle of rolling rocks, the bound of a fleeing deer, the way shadows lie under the spruces. Only the ineducable tyro can fail to sense the presence or absence of wolves, or the fact that mountains have a secret opinion about them.

即使不能参透这叫声背后的含义，也知道那确实意味着某种东西，这种东西能够在狼的整个领地上被感受到，它把狼的领地和其他地方区分开来。夜里听到狼的叫声或者白天搜索狼的踪迹的人，都被它刺痛脊骨。即使没有看见狼影，也没有听到狼叫，它也从无数小事中暗暗显露：午夜马嘶，碎石飞滚，野鹿跳跃奔逃，云杉下影子的形状。只有最不堪造就的新手，才感觉不到狼的存在与否，才不晓得大山对狼有着隐秘的看法。

（It指的是什么 country怎么译 the way shadows lie...怎么翻译）


My own conviction on this score dates from the day I saw a wolf die. We were eating lunch on a high rimrock, at the foot of which a turbulent river elbowed its way. We saw what we thought was a doe fording the torrent, her breast awash in white water. When she climbed the bank toward us and shook out her tail, we realized our error: it was a wolf. A half-dozen others, evidently grown pups, sprang from the willows and all joined in a welcoming melee of wagging tails and playful maulings. What was literally a pile of wolves writhed and tumbled in the center of an open flat at the foot of our rimrock.

我对这一点的确信，是从我看着一只狼死去的那一天开始的。那时，我们正在高高的崖顶吃午饭，山脚下一条河隆隆流过。我们看到一只母鹿涉过急流，乳房在水中若浮若沉。当她爬上我们这一侧的河岸，摇起她的尾巴，我们才意识到我们的错误：那是一只狼。还有五六只，显然是长大了的狼崽子，从柳树上跳下来，加入到由摇尾巴和扭打游戏构成的欢迎战。真真切切，一群狼就在这崖顶下方的开阔地中摔跤，打滚。

（Score是什么意思 grown 就是成年的，为什么下面隔一段又说a pup, 前面是五六只，后面为什么只提到一只？）


Since then I have lived to see state after state extirpate its wolves. I have watched the face of many a newly wolfless mountain, and seen the south-facing slopes wrinkle with a maze of new deer trails. I have seen every edible bush and seedling browsed, first to anaemic desuetude, and then to death. I have seen every edible tree defoliated to the height of a saddlehorn. Such a mountain looks as if someone had given God a new pruning shears, and forbidden Him all other exercise. In the end the starved bones of the hoped-for deer herd, dead of its own too-much, bleach with the bones of the dead sage, or molder under the high-lined junipers.

从那时起，我看着一个又一个州灭绝了狼，我看着一座又一座山成了新的无狼山，我看着纷乱的鹿蹄印儿给朝阳的山坡新添了片片褶皱，我看着一株株灌木和树苗被啃得枯萎，啃到死去，我看着一棵棵可以吃的树，从地面到马鞍那么高之间的叶子全被吃光。这样的山看上去，像是有人给了上帝一把新剃刀，除了修剪，不让他干别的。最后，由于自身的数量过多，野鹿在对食物的渴求中成群死去，它们或者同艾灌的残梗一起化为白骨，或者在松柏高耸的树冠下渐渐腐烂。

（anaemic desuetude是什么意思，defoliated to the height of a saddlehorn是什么意思, the dead sage指的是什么, high-lined是什么意思）
