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.
南极洲上一枚巨大的冰山已经导致15万只企鹅死亡,整个栖息地的企鹅都被围困而无法觅食,面临着群体丧生的危险。
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.
一项来自新西兰和澳大利亚两国研究人员的研究成果显示,自从2010年一座编号为B09B的冰山在南极洲海湾搁浅以来,只有约1万只阿德利企鹅幸存。
The grounding, at Commonwealth Bay, has forced the penguins to make a 70-mile round trip to feed in the sea.
这座在英联邦海湾搁浅的冰山导致企鹅们不得不跋涉70公里到海里寻找食物。
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.
这座冰山大约60英里长,总面积约1120平方英里——超过了卢森堡公园的占地面积。有明显数据表明,这座冰山在海上漂浮了20年之久,然后才碰撞到冰川大陆并在此处搁浅。
