英语听力：自然百科 冰冻星球 前往地球尽头(11)

（单词翻译）

The tiger forest marks the end of our journey through the Arctic, from the frozen ocean down across the lands that surround it. The other end of our planet, the Antarctic is starkly¹ different, a frozen continent completely surrounded by ocean. Icebergs² here are so large that they're measured in miles, not meters. They are the only obstacles in the path of giant waves which circle around the continent untramped by other lands.

老虎森林标志着我们北冰洋旅程的终点,冰冻海洋包围了它。而在地球的另一端,南极就显得与众不同,是完全由海洋包围的冻土大陆。这里的冰山非常巨大以致于它们要用英里来丈量,而不是米。它们是大陆间的唯一障碍。

These seas may be cold and storm-racked, but they are bursting with life. No bird is more at home in water and they are masterful surfers. Penguins³ are found only in the southern hemisphere. They can't fly, but they don't need to. There are no polar bears here. These are gentoo penguins. Each spring they come ashore⁴ to lay their eggs and rear their young. Their hungry chicks demands so much seafood⁵ that both parents have to go fishing.

这些海洋寒冷异常,但尽管如此,这里也有生命顽强的生存。没有鸟在水中安家落户，但它们都是冲浪高手。企鹅只有在南半球才有。这种动物不能飞,它们也不需要。因为在这里没有北极熊。这些是颊带企鹅。每年春天它们上岸产卵。它们饥饿的幼仔饥饿难耐的叫喊着,父母双方都要去捕鱼。
