faltering dive into the deep blue waters of the Antarctic. “March of the Penguins” tells one of the most beautiful love stories on Earth.
1.\t每年冬天，只有留在南极洲荒凉的冰原上的帝企鹅们，成千上万地集结起来离开它们安全的深蓝色海洋家园，爬上寒冷的冰面开始它们的遥远旅程，前往一个天气极其寒冷、环境极为恶劣的地区。每年此时，那个地方没有其他动物出没。这些企鹅排成一列纵队前进，猛烈的暴风雪挡住了它们的视线，同时还有7-10级的大风吹打在它们身上。
2.\t在本能的趋引下，它们向着传统的繁殖地进发，在那儿分别组成一对对“夫妻”并交配。随着白天越来越短，气候也变得越来越恶劣。雌帝企鹅停留的时间仅仅到产出一个企鹅蛋为止。一旦完成了这项任务，加上因几个星期未吃东西而精疲力竭，雌企鹅就开始穿越冰原返回鱼类密集的海洋。旅途中充满了危险，海豹是捕食它们的致命威胁。雄帝企鹅则留下来守护并孵化这些珍贵的蛋，它们一直将蛋置于自己那摇篮般的脚面上。
3.\t经历了漫长的两个月后（此间雄帝企鹅滴食不进），小帝企鹅开始破壳而出。当小帝企鹅来到这个可怕的白色新世界，父亲们有限的食 物储存不足以让它们生存很长时间。如果帝企鹅妈妈不能及时从海洋里带回食物，这些幼小的新生命将因此夭折。
4.\t当这些帝企鹅家庭重新团聚后，父母的角色调换了过来，帝企鹅妈妈留下照顾新生的孩子，它们的配偶则拖着疲惫、饥饿的身躯走向大海，去寻找食物。当成年帝企鹅去捕鱼时，小帝企鹅们随时都会面临大海燕对它们发起攻击的威胁。随着天气逐渐变暖，浮冰最终开始破裂融化，这些成年帝企鹅将无数次重复它们的旅程，行进数百英里穿越地球上最险恶的地区，直到小帝企鹅们成长到能够第一次晃晃悠悠地跳入南极深蓝色海水中为止。《帝企鹅日记》讲述了一个地球上最美丽动人的关于爱的故事。
Clouds飘忽的白云
1.\tI’ve opened the curtain of my east window here above the computer, and I sit now in a holy theater before a sky-blue stage. A little cloud above the neighbor’s trees resembles Jimmy Durant’s nose for a while, then becomes amorphous as it slips on north. Other clouds follow, big and little and tiny on their march toward whereness. Wisps of them lead or droop because there must always be leading and drooping.
2.\tThe trees seem to laugh at the clouds while yet reaching for them with swaying branches. Trees must think that they are real, rooted, somebody, and that perhaps the clouds are only tickled water which sometimes blocks their sun. But trees are clouds, too, of green leaves clouds that only move a little. Trees grow and change and dissipate like their airborne cousins.
3.\tAnd what am I but a cloud of thoughts and feelings and aspirations? Don’t I put out tentative mists here and there? Don’t I occasionally appear to other people as a ridiculous shape of thoughts without my intending to? Don’t I drift toward the north when I feel the breezes of love and the warmth of compassion
