 Over the coming months, the few parts of Antarctic that are ice-free will be the stage on which 5 million Adélies will build their nests.


在未来的几个月,一些南极的无冰地区,将有5万阿黛利企鹅筑巢。
To construct one, they need pebbles 1. And without a good-looking nest, a male would be unable to attract a female when they at last arrive. An impressive property demonstrates your worth as a mate. 
建巢需要鹅卵石,要是没有好看的巢穴,雄企鹅最终就不能吸引异性。是否拥有令人印象深刻的足够多的财富是选择伴侣的条件。
It takes stones of all shapes and sizes to build a decent nest and finding ones that are just right is not easy. So some penguins 2 turn to a life of crime.
建立一个像样的巢需要很多各种形状和大小的石头,而要找到恰到好处的石头并不那么容易。所以一些企鹅就出现了腹黑的行为。
The one who has been robbed seems unaware 3 that the thief is just over his shoulder and looking for more.
这只企鹅一直勤勤恳恳地捡石头,并没意识到,小偷就在他背后。
The thief's nest is coming along nicely, probably because he keeps a particularly sharp lookout 4 for robbers. After all, it takes one to know one.
这只腹黑小偷企鹅的巢建的不错,大概因为他对可能会偷石头的窃贼保持了高度的戒备,毕竟,它自己也好不到哪里去。
