Retired bricklayer and part time fisherman Joao Pereira de Souza, 71, from an island village just outside Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, discovered the tiny penguin languishing on rocks in 2011.
退休瓦工喬鷗·德·索查先生是名漁夫，今年71歲，來自一個小島村落，緊挨著巴西里約熱內盧。2011年的時候他在巖石上發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只奄奄一息的企鵝。

The helpless creature was starving and covered in oil but Mr de Souza took him in and nursed him back to health, naming the South American Magellanic penguin Dindim. It took him a week just to clean the sticky black residue from the bird's feathers.
這一無助的小生命饑餓難耐，滿身油污，德·索查先生就將它帶走，悉心照料直至恢復健康，并給這只麥哲倫企鵝取名為丁丁。光是給小企鵝清除羽毛上黏膩膩的黑色油漬就花了一周時間。

When Dindim was well again Mr de Souza released him back into the sea, never expecting to see his new friend again. He was astonished when, just a few months later, the penguin returned to the island where he recognised Mr de Souza and returned home with him.
丁丁恢復健康后，德·索查先生把它放歸大海，并不指望以后能重新見到這位新朋友。當幾個月后小企鵝回到了小島，認出了德·索查先生并跟著他一同回家，這另德·索查先生十分驚訝。

Now, Dindim spends eight months of the year with Mr de Souza and spends the rest of his time breeding off the coast of Argentina and Chile. The flightless bird is believed to swim around 5,000 miles everytime he returns to Mr de Souza.
如今，丁丁每年和德·索查先生在一起待八個月，剩下的時光離開阿根廷與智利的海岸去生崽。小企鵝不能飛，但是每回游了5000英里重回德·索查先生身邊。

Mr Pereira de Souza said he fed Dindim a daily diet of fish to improve his strength then took him back to the sea to let him go. 'But he wouldn't leave, he stayed with me for 11 months,' recalled the retired builder.
德·索查先生說他每天給丁丁喂魚膳，好讓它長力氣，然后帶回海邊放生。“但它不愿意走，和我一起待了十一個月，”退休瓦匠說道。

'Everyone said he wouldn't return but he has been coming back to visit me for the past four years.' Experts said it appears as though Dindim recognises Mr de Souza as he would another penguin, and acts accordingly.
“大家都說它不會回來，但過去四年了里，丁丁一直回來看我?！睂＜曳Q，丁丁似乎把德·索查先生也視作企鵝了，以企鵝之道來對待。
