I followed the single one at full speed, but, in spite of the efforts of my horse, she got so much ahead of me, that, in turning a little hill, I lost sight of her altogether, and I gave up the pursuit.

我全速追趕這只落單的長(zhǎng)頸鹿，但是不論我的馬怎么使勁，它就是遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)地跑在前面，繞過(guò)一個(gè)小山丘的時(shí)候，我完全見(jiàn)不到它了，于是我放棄了追趕。

My dogs, however, were not so easily exhausted.

可是，我的獵犬可不是那么容易疲倦的。

They were soon so close upon her that she was obliged to stop and defend herself.

它們很快接近了長(zhǎng)頸鹿，使它不得不停下來(lái)抵抗。

From the noise they made, I conjectured that they had got the animal into a corner, and I again pushed forward.

從它們發(fā)出的聲音，我猜測(cè)獵犬把長(zhǎng)頸鹿困住了，我重新騎馬追過(guò)去。

I had scarcely got round the hill, when I perceived her surrounded by the dogs, and endeavoring to drive them away by heavy kicks.

我剛繞過(guò)小山丘，就看見(jiàn)獵犬包圍了長(zhǎng)頸鹿，長(zhǎng)頸鹿用力踢，試圖趕走獵犬。

In a moment I was on my feet, and a shot from my carbine brought her to the earth.

我立刻跳下馬，用卡賓槍射出一枚子彈把長(zhǎng)頸鹿打倒在地。

I was delighted with my victory, which enabled me to add to the riches of natural history.

我對(duì)勝利感到非常高興，我可以為博物學(xué)增添新的財(cái)富了。

I was now able, also, to destroy the romance which attached to this animal, and to establish the truth of its existence.

我也打破了關(guān)于這個(gè)動(dòng)物的浪漫神話，證明它確實(shí)存在。
