apparently in the last agony of death from thirst. Its tongue was out, its jaws dry,

its limbs extended lifelessly, and a swarm of black ants were crawling about its lips and throat.
四肢毫無(wú)生氣地?cái)傞_(kāi)，一群黑螞蟻在它的嘴唇和喉嚨上爬行。

The path became steeper and more rugged every moment, and the high, hill air, instead of refreshing him,

seemed to throw his blood into a fever. His thirst increased every moment. Another hour passed,
顯然讓他的血液一陣陣發(fā)熱，他的口渴在時(shí)時(shí)刻刻增加，又過(guò)了一個(gè)小時(shí)，
and he again looked down to the flask at his side. It was half empty, but there was much more than three drops in it.

Hans looked at it for a moment, drank, and passed on. And a dark gray cloud came over the sun,
漢斯看了他一會(huì)，喝了一口并繼續(xù)上路，一片灰黑色烏云遮住了太陽(yáng)，
and long, snake-like shadows crept up along the mountain-sides. Hans struggled on. The sun was sinking,

He saw the cataract of the Golden River springing from the hillside, scarcely five hundred feet above him.
