悲傷！南極一座冰山倒了 導(dǎo)致15萬只企鵝死亡

　　An enormous iceberg in Antarctica has killed off 150,000 penguins and threatens to wipe out an entire colony, which has become trapped and unable to reach food.

　　南極洲上一枚巨大的冰山已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致15萬只企鵝死亡，整個(gè)棲息地的企鵝都被圍困而無法覓食，面臨著群體喪生的危險(xiǎn)。

　　A study by researchers from New Zealand and Australia said only about 10,000 Adélie penguins have survived after an iceberg – labelled B09B - grounded in a bay in 2010.

　　一項(xiàng)來自新西蘭和澳大利亞兩國研究人員的研究成果顯示，自從2010年一座編號為B09B的冰山在南極洲海灣擱淺以來，只有約1萬只阿德利企鵝幸存。

　　The grounding, at Commonwealth Bay, has forced the penguins to make a 70-mile round trip to feed in the sea.

　　這座在英聯(lián)邦海灣擱淺的冰山導(dǎo)致企鵝們不得不跋涉70公里到海里尋找食物。

　　The iceberg is about 60 miles long and 1,120 square miles in size – larger than Luxembourg. It had apparently been floating around the coast for 20 years before crashing into a glacier and becoming stuck.

　　這座冰山大約60英里長，總面積約1120平方英里——超過了盧森堡公園的占地面積。有明顯數(shù)據(jù)表明，這座冰山在海上漂浮了20年之久，然后才碰撞到冰川大陸并在此處擱淺。

　　Penguin numbers have been recorded for more than a century.

　　一百多年來，科學(xué)家們一直在記錄企鵝的數(shù)量。

　　"It's eerily silent now," said Professor Chris Turney, from the University of New South Wales.

　　來自新南威爾士大學(xué)的克里斯·特尼教授稱，“島上現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)一片死寂，令人害怕。”

　　"They can barely survive themselves, let alone hatch the next generation. We saw lots of dead birds on the ground ... it's just heartbreaking to see. "

　　“他們自己能否生存都令人堪憂，更不提繁衍后代了。我們看到許多企鵝尸體躺在地上——真是令人心碎的場面。”
