Excitement instantly seized the whole party: a running fire of raillery and jests was proceeding when Sam returned.

兴奋立刻抓住了整个派对：当山姆回来时，嘲笑和笑话正在持续进行。

It grows on sun-beaten slopes, and like grass is often swept away by running fires, but is quickly renewed from the roots.

它生长在阳光普照的斜坡上， 就像草一样， 经常被熊熊烈火冲走， 但很快就会从根部重新长出来。

Running fires are set everywhere, with a view to clearing the ground of prostrate trunks, to facilitate the movements of the flocks and improve the pastures.

到处都在生火， 以清理地面上匍匐的树干， 以方便羊群的活动并改善草场。

After a running fire has scorched and killed it the cones open and the ground beneath it is then sown broadcast with all the seeds ripened during its whole life.

在熊熊大火烧焦并杀死它后， 球果会打开， 然后在它下面的土地上撒播， 所有的种子都在它的整个生命周期中成熟。

They have a worth—so I have always believed; and if I cannot believe it now, it is because I am insane—quite insane: with my veins running fire, and my heart beating faster than I can count its throbs.

它们是有价值的——所以我一直相信；如果我现在无法相信，那是因为我疯了——相当疯狂：我的血管在燃烧，我的心跳得快到无法计数。
