英汉对照企鹅的爱情
Every year, in the Antarctic, an incredible love story occurs between thousands of small, cuddly(a person or animal that is cuddly makes you want to cuddle them) penguins Adeli Penguins(埃德里企鹅) fall hopelessly in love and their feelings are so strong that they stay with their partners for the rest of their lives
Watching the starry-eyed(bright like a star or shaped like a star) birds paddle(to swim with short, quick movements) together in the surf, there can be no doubt that this is one of the most beautiful love matches in the animal kingdom
At the beginning of every summer in Antarctica, male Adelis go in search of the perfect female --but merely singling her out isn't enough To show his love, he selects a pebble(a small smooth stone found especially on a beach or on the bottom of a river) from the beach and presents it to her
If she accepts, the two live together forever The penguins go through an elaborate display to show their feelings are more than friendship The first thing they do is an ecstatic(feeling extremely happy and excited) display, where they move their heads from side to side Then they do head bows and give each other little sideways glances
Finally, when they're getting really excited, they make the feathers on their back of their head stand up, which makes them look like they're got triangular heads It's very cute
Occasionally, a female will have more than one admirer and, should she be presented with two pebbles, she has to choose which one will be her mate She would choose one because of his vocal patterns
The Adeli Penguins’ mating ritual is so romantic that Warner Brothers(华纳兄弟影片公司) have made a movie about it, aptly called The Pebble and The Penguin The star of the film is Hubie, a shy Adeli with a penchant for red hats and yellow scarves The love of his life is Marina: she is very stylish
#
Of course, there's an evil penguin who's battling for the affections of Marina, Hubie tries to find the perfect pebble to win Marina's heart but sadly all the pebbles have disappeared until that is, a dream pebble drops from the sky
#
It is, according to Hubie, a perfect pebble but the real Adelis don't actually search for that one special stone, they will settle on just about anything But the pebbles, as well as being a gift of love, also have a practical use - they're the important materials used for building nests
#
There are around 18 species of penguin in the world, but none of the others offer a pebble as a token of their love But, unless, you'll travel to freezing climes, it's highly unlikely you will have seen their pebble ritual The penguins we usually see in zoos in this country are the more common species

在南极洲,每年都有成千上万只小巧可爱的企鹅,演绎着一个个令人难以置信的爱情故事。埃德里企鹅会不顾一切地陷入的爱情旋涡之中,忠贞不渝的感情,使得他们能够享受白头偕老的甜蜜生活。
看到这些乐观的鸟儿在浪花里嬉戏,没有人会怀疑,这是动物王国里最动人的爱情结合。
每年,在南极洲夏季来临的时候,雄性埃德里企鹅开始寻觅最完美的雌性伙伴----但仅仅找到她是不够的。他从海滩拣起一块鹅卵石送给心上人,以表达他的爱情。
倘若她接受,他们俩就会从此永远生活在一起。企鹅通过这种精心设计的表达方式来表明他们的关系已经超越了友谊。他们做的第一件事是把头摇来摇去,以表达他们欣喜若狂的心情。然后他们把头低下,互相斜视对方。
最后,当他们真正激动起来,就会把头部后面的羽毛竖起来,这样使头部看起来象三角形。可爱极了。
有时候,一只雌企鹅会有好几个崇拜者,即使她得到两块鹅卵石,也只能从中选择一位伴侣。她可能会因为喜欢其中一个的声音而选择他做丈夫。
埃德里企鹅的浪漫的结婚仪式使得华纳兄弟影片公司特地为它们拍了一部**,名子很贴切地叫做“鹅卵石和企鹅”。影片的明星是“哈比”,一只害羞的埃德里企鹅,喜欢戴红帽子和黄领带。他生命中最爱的是“玛利娜”:她很时髦。
当然,有一只邪恶的企鹅也企图获得玛利娜的芳心。哈比试图找到最完美的鹅卵石来赢得玛利娜的芳心,但悲哀地发现所有的石头都不见了,直到有一天,一块梦想中的鹅卵石从天而降。
哈比认为这是一块世上最完美石块,但实际上,现实中的埃德里企鹅并不会刻意寻找一块特殊的石头,他们会随便拣一块。但是这块圆石,不仅是爱的礼物,也还有其实际用途――它们是建造家园的重要材料。
世界上大有18种企鹅,但除了埃德里企鹅,其它企鹅都不会用鹅卵石来表白爱情。但是,除非你有机会到这个天寒地冻的地带来,否则不大可能看到他们的赠送石块的仪式。通常我们在动物园看到的只能是比较普通的企鹅。

★ 我可是很用心的找了,采纳了望加分哈!
一种:有帝企鹅
有帝企鹅其实还有一个更加高贵的称呼,叫做皇帝企鹅。
而它的姿态确实就像它的名字所讲那样,像一个帝王一样,一举一动都无比的高贵优雅。
另外一方面是有帝企鹅的体积在所有企鹅中是最大的,可以长到120公分那么高。
想要分辨什么是有帝企鹅,除却身高以外还有一点就是它们的后脑勺部位、嘴部和脖颈处有明显的橘**。

第二种:阿德利企鹅
阿德利企鹅的命名其实有着一个不得不说的故事,那就是阿德利这个名字其实是一个人的名字。
在1840年,探险家迪蒙·迪尔维尔发现了这片岛屿,这里没有一个人曾经来过。
作为第一个登陆的人,迪蒙·迪尔维尔将他命名为阿德利企鹅,而这个名字其实来自他的妻子。
非常的浪漫,所以人们又将阿德利企鹅为浪漫的企鹅。
而分辨阿德利企鹅的最好办法就是它的身体上没有其他的颜色,就是我们记忆中的样子,只有黑白两色。

第三种:金图企鹅
其实金图企鹅最标准的名字不是叫这个,而是叫巴布亚企鹅。
巴布亚企鹅又被很多人叫做白眉企鹅,可以算的上是企鹅当中名字最多的企鹅了。
它们被叫做白眉的原因是因为它们的眼睛上方有一个明显的白斑,除了这一点与其它的企鹅不同以外,还有一点就是它们的嘴巴是红色的,非常明显的可以与其它的企鹅区分开来。
企鹅一旦发育成熟,到了择偶期后,雄企鹅首先潜入深水部位,遨游数公里乃至数十公里,寻找求爱的礼物:一块小石头。
这块小石头的形状和色泽必须使它未婚妻感到高兴和满意。然后,它衔着这块石头,去寻找它心目中的娘子。一旦姻缘 良机到来,雄企鹅就把这块石头放在雌企鹅的"脚"边,用心呵护,耐心等待。
雌企鹅如果看中,接受求爱,就把这块石头衔回事先筑好的巢里,雄企鹅便尾追而去。 雌企鹅如果不想与雄企鹅谈恋爱,便拍打翅膀,并用嘴巴去啄,让它离开,雄企鹅 便悻悻而去。
企鹅之间的爱情是纯真的。当一只企鹅生病或受伤时,甚至在险恶的情况下, 生命受到威胁,它的伴侣绝不会离开,直到康复或死去。人们常常看到这样的情景 ,成双成对的企鹅死在一起,因为它们中的任何一个都不愿抛弃另一个。
它们排队步行到很远的地方,因为那样可以远离天敌,然后母企鹅生蛋之后交给公企鹅,公企鹅把蛋放在脚面上再用肚子盖住它,因为温度低,跟地面接触几秒蛋就有可能死到,公企鹅都聚集在一起,靠得紧紧的,防风,。
然后母企鹅再步行很久回到原先来的地方,吃饱,并带很多吃的回去,再次步行很久回到生蛋的地方,这期间一般小企鹅都孵出来了,要是小企鹅孵出来了妈妈还没回来,它可能就会死去。
等母企鹅回去之后公企鹅要很小心的让小企鹅到妈妈的怀抱里去,然后母企鹅喂小企鹅,公企鹅再重复母企鹅曾经做的事,步行很久到原来来的地方去觅食,再回去喂宝宝,满感人的。
