Two weeks after my arrival Fox died just after sunset 我到两个星期后，在日落之后福克斯死亡

I was stretched out on the bed when he approached 我伸出床上，当他走近

And tried painfully to jump up he wagged his tail nervously 并试图痛苦地跳起来，他摇着尾巴紧张

Since the beginning he hadn't touched his bowl once 从一开始，他就没有碰过他的碗里一次

He had lost a lot of weight 他已经失去了很多的重量

   

I helped him to settle on my lap 我帮他解决我的腿上

For a few seconds he looked at me 几秒钟内，他看着我

With a curious mixture of exhaustion and apology 疲惫和道歉的好奇混合

Then, calmed, he closed his eyes 随后，平静了，他闭上了眼睛

Two minutes later he gave out his last breath 两分钟后，他放弃了他的最后一口气

   

I buried him beside the residence 我埋葬了他的住所旁边

At the western extremity of the land 在土地的西端

Surrounded by the protective fence 由防护栅栏包围

Next to his predecessors 旁边是他的前辈

   

During the night a rapid transport 在夜间的快速运输

From the Central City dropped off an identical dog 中央城下车相同的狗

They knew the codes and how to work the barrier 他们知道的代码和如何工作的障碍

I didn't have to get up to greet them 我没有起身迎接他们

   

A small white and ginger mongrel 一个小的白色和姜杂种

Came toward me wagging its tail 就朝我摇尾巴

He jumped on the bed and stretched out beside me 他跳上了床，伸出我的身边
