Owen had grown up in Lancaster, in the north of England, where he had trained as a doctor. He was [-1-] and so devoted to his studies that he sometimes illicitly borrowed limbs, organs, and other parts from cadavers and took them home for [-2-] dissection. Once while carrying a sack containing the head of a black African sailor that he had just removed, Owen slipped on a wet cobble and watched [-3-] as the head bounced away from him down the lane and through the open doorway of a cottage, where it came to rest in the front parlor. [---4---] One assumes that they had not formed any terribly advanced conclusions when, an instant later, a fraught-looking young man rushed in, [-5-] retrieved the head, and rushed out again.

In 1825, aged just 21, Owen moved to London and soon after [-6-] the Royal College of Surgeons to help organize their extensive, [-7-], collections of medical and anatomical specimens. Most of these had been left to the institution by John Hunter, a distinguished surgeon and tireless collector of medical curiosities, [---8---]

欧文在英格兰北部的兰开斯特长大,受过训练准备当医生。他是个天生的解剖学家,对研究工作不遗余力,有时候非法取下尸体上的四肢、器官和别的部位,拿回家里慢慢地解剖。有一回,他用麻袋搬回刚从一具非洲黑人水手的尸体上取下的头,不慎绊着湿漉漉的石头滑了一跤,惊慌地望着那个头从身边一蹦一跳地顺着小巷滚去,钻进一户人家开着的门洞里,在前厅里停了下来。至于那户人家的主人见到一个头滚到自己的脚边会说些什么,我们只能想像了。有人讲,他们还来不及搞清是怎么回事,突然间一个焦急万分的年轻人冲进来拾起那个头,又冲了出去。   1825年,欧文21岁,他搬到了伦敦,不久就被英国皇家外科学院聘用,帮助清理又多又乱的医学和解剖标本。其中,大部分是杰出的外科医生、医学珍品的孜孜不倦的收藏家约翰•亨特留给这个学院的,但从来没有分过类和清理过,很大程度上因为亨特死后不久,说明每件物品的意义的文字材料丢失了。
