| But then it went beyond the misdemeanor of cracking eggs. |
然而這只猴子幫倒忙的行為還不僅僅只停留在打雞蛋上。 |
| After observing Li slaughter a chicken, the one-armed monkey slaughtered another 80 while meticulously plucking off their feathers. |
自從目睹了李先生的殺雞過(guò)程之后，這只獨(dú)臂猴子先后殺掉了80只雞，還細(xì)心地將雞毛拔光。 |
| Li responded by severely beating his monkey. The corporal punishment seemed to work, but when Li was away the monkey continued to harass the chickens. Several times, Li kicked the monkey out, but each time, the monkey put on a sad, sulky face, and Li couldn't resist taking him back. |
李先生將猴子狠狠地修理了一通。這種體罰似乎一時(shí)奏效，但只要主人一出門，家中養(yǎng)的雞便又開(kāi)始遭殃。好幾次李先生將猴子攆出家門，但每次它都會(huì)一副可憐相地回來(lái)。每當(dāng)這時(shí)，李先生便于心不忍，又將其收留。 |
| This May, local forest police learned the monkey is a rare species under state protection, so authorities asked Li to release the monkey into the wild. But the monkey refused to go. |
今年5月，當(dāng)?shù)厣止簿肢@知這只獼猴屬于國(guó)家級(jí)稀有保護(hù)動(dòng)物，便責(zé)令李春將其放歸野外。但這只獼猴始終不肯離去。 |
| Authorities decided to grant Li custody after considering their significant relationship, and recognizing the difficulties the disabled monkey may encounter in the forest. Police have stipulated that Li must regularly file reports on the monkey's health. |
了解到李春與這只獼猴之間難以割舍的感情，同時(shí)考慮到這只身體殘疾的獼猴在野外生存所面臨的困難，當(dāng)?shù)厣止簿肿罱K決定，讓李春成為這只獼猴的合法監(jiān)護(hù)人，同時(shí)規(guī)定李春必須定期向森林公安部門上報(bào)獼猴的健康狀況。
