世界節(jié)假日博覽 第81期:世界企鵝日

World Penguin Day happens on or around April 25th each year. This is the time when millions of penguins migrate north. Unlike other birds that migrate each year, penguins do not fly. Instead, they walk, or waddle to their new home and breeding grounds. It’s a long journey across the ice. Perhaps you saw an example of the migration in the movie ‘Happy Feet’. Many people believe there are penguins at the North Pole, but this is not true. Penguins hold a special place in our hearts. Children love looking at these lovable birds in zoos and aquariums. There are about twenty different species of penguin around the world. They are unique because they do not fear humans, but they rarely get closer than three metres to a person.
每年的4月25日左右為世界企鵝日。數(shù)百萬(wàn)企鵝會(huì)在此季節(jié)向北方遷徙。不像其它鳥類，企鵝不會(huì)飛。而是一搖一擺地走到繁殖地。這將是一次漫長(zhǎng)的極地旅行。你或許已經(jīng)在電影《快樂的大腳》中略睹企鵝遷徙風(fēng)采。許多人認(rèn)為企鵝生活在北極，但這并不正確。企鵝在人們心中占據(jù)特殊地位。孩子們能夠在動(dòng)物園，海洋館中觀賞企鵝。世界上的企鵝種類約20種。也由于企鵝不懼怕人類而顯得極為特殊，但它從不會(huì)走進(jìn)距離在3米以內(nèi)的區(qū)域


There are many things you can do on World Penguin Day. Perhaps the best thing is to donate some money to a charity that helps protect these beautiful creatures. Some penguins are endangered and need our help to survive. There are also fun things that penguin lovers around the world do. For example, why not wear clothes with penguiny colours? If you do this with a group of friends, you could make your very own penguin colony. There are plenty of penguin websites on the Internet for you to find out some more information on penguins. My favourite is PenguinGeek. This site even has live web cams to view penguins around the world. Alternatively, you could rent ‘March of the Penguins’ from your video store. Happy World Penguin Day.
在世界企鵝日，我們可以進(jìn)行許多活動(dòng)。最好是向慈善協(xié)會(huì)捐款，為保護(hù)美麗的企鵝盡職盡責(zé)。許多企鵝瀕臨滅絕，他們需要我們的幫助。對(duì)于全球的企鵝迷，我們還可以舉辦許多有趣活動(dòng)。為什么不穿上企鵝顏色衣服？如果我們“組團(tuán)”活動(dòng)，你就擁有了自己的“企鵝群落”。我們還有許多關(guān)于企鵝的網(wǎng)站，你可以在那里尋找一些關(guān)于企鵝的信息。我最喜歡的網(wǎng)站是“PenguinGeek”。該網(wǎng)站甚至擁有實(shí)時(shí)攝像，讓你領(lǐng)略全世界的企鵝。此外，你還可以在音像店借閱《帝企鵝日記》紀(jì)錄片。企鵝日快樂！
