Here in front of him was a wild mallard—just arrived from the home of the north wind.

此时，他眼前是一只绿头——刚从北风呼乡飞来。

We had not gone 50 yards when two mallards exploded out of some thick grass near the bank and started across the river.

还没走到50码，两只野就从边草丛冲出，开始过河。

Because there is so many forced matings in several duck species, mallards being the most common example, females actually also have blind alleys that don't lead up to their ovaries and eggs.

因为在几有如此多强迫交配，野是最常见例子，雌性实际上也有不通向卵巢和卵子死胡同。
