首先,一群不會(huì)飛的鳥最近被允許在芝加哥謝德水族館的大廳里漫步。

Quarantine has caused everyone to go a little stir-crazy, even the residents of the Kansas City Zoo. So several of the penguins decided to go on a field trip to the Nelson-Atkins, which is still closed, to get a little culture."
隔離令每個(gè)人都有點(diǎn)瘋狂,甚至堪薩斯城動(dòng)物園的動(dòng)物們也是如此。因此,幾只企鵝決定到納爾遜·阿特金斯進(jìn)行一次實(shí)地旅行(那里還沒(méi)開門),去感受一下當(dāng)?shù)氐奈幕?rdquo;
The zoo's executive director, Randy Wisthoff, said that their Humboldt penguins have missed their regular interactions with zoo visitors.
動(dòng)物園執(zhí)行主任蘭迪·威斯特霍夫說(shuō),他們的洪堡企鵝錯(cuò)過(guò)了與動(dòng)物園游客的日常互動(dòng)。
"We're always looking for ways to enrich their lives and stimulate their days and during this shutdown period, our animals really miss visitors coming up to see them," Wisthoff said.
“我們一直在尋找方法來(lái)豐富它們的生活,刺激它們的生活,在關(guān)閉期間,我們的動(dòng)物真的很想念前來(lái)看望它們的游客,”威斯特霍夫說(shuō)。
The zoo also has a camera to watch the penguins when at home.

This type of penguin is native to Peru and Chile, and the museum's director, Julián Zugazagoitia, mused that the penguins seemed to "really appreciate" when he spoke Spanish.
這種企鵝原產(chǎn)于秘魯和智利,博物館館長(zhǎng)朱利安·祖加薩戈蒂亞若有所思地說(shuō),當(dāng)他說(shuō)西班牙語(yǔ)時(shí),企鵝們似乎“真的很感激”。
And if you're wondering what sort of art penguins might like, this outing provides some (very) modest anecdotal evidence that they may be drawn to Italian Baroque techniques. "They seemed, definitely, to react muchbetter to Caravaggio than to Monet," Zugazagoitia quipped.
如果你想知道企鵝可能喜歡哪種藝術(shù),這次出游提供了一些(非常)適合的軼事證據(jù),證明它們可能會(huì)被意大利巴洛克風(fēng)格的技巧所吸引。”“他們對(duì)卡拉瓦喬的反應(yīng)顯然比對(duì)莫內(nèi)的反應(yīng)更強(qiáng)烈,”祖加薩戈蒂亞調(diào)侃道。
