显然,野性从白格的身上消褪了,它对里斯拉的眷恋胜过了迁徙的习性。丹麦动物学家默文,在秋天时收养了一只野天鹅。当时它受了枪伤,跌倒在山谷的树丛里。默文把它抱回家,细细包扎好它伤得很重的翅膀,把它养在小木屋里。一个月后,野天鹅能站起来了,虽然一只翅膀仍耷拉着,走起来一拐一拐的。 Obviously, wildness faded from Beagle’s, and its attachment to Reese over the migratory habit. The Danish zoologist Mervyn adopted a wild swan in the fall. At that time it was gunshot wound, fell in the valley of the trees. Mervyn took it home, wrapped it up and wounded it heavily in the cabin. A month later, the wild swan could stand up, though one of the wings still puffed and walked abruptly.
