The Black Bear's Fatal Obsession | 熊性恶血

English Original

Mountain Yangdu is a sheer and serene, yet inclement place. It is home to black bears.

Black bears have a natural loathing for blood. If a bear is scratched by thorns while crossing a gorge, it will scratch at the wound to remove the bloodstains. Unaware that blood and flesh are inseparable, its scratching only worsens the injury. As more blood flows, the bear tears at its own flesh. Enraged by the unstoppable flow, it continues to scratch violently inward, eventually reaching its own guts, tearing apart its viscera, and causing its own death.


中文翻译

阳都山峻峭幽深,环境险恶,是黑熊的栖息地。

黑熊生性厌恶血液。如果一只黑熊在穿越峡谷时被荆棘刮伤,它会用爪子抓挠伤口,试图清除血迹。它不知道血肉密不可分,抓挠只会让伤势加重。随着血流不止,黑熊会撕扯自己的皮肉。面对无法止住的鲜血,它恼羞成怒,更加猛烈地向伤口深处抓挠,直至抓断自己的肠子,抓碎内脏,最终导致死亡。
