King Penguins in Moonlight

　　As sure as moonrise over Possession Island, king penguins gather each year for "ecstatic display." Puffing their chests, lifting their heads, and belting out calls, birds of both sexes advertise themselves. Before long, pairs form and join a crowd, and breeding season is on.

　　月光下的帝企鹅

　　就像月亮必然会在谱瑟斯恩岛上升起一样，每一年，帝企鹅都会毫无疑问地为“狂欢炫耀”而聚集。它们胸膛膨胀，头部昂扬，并呼扯着嗓子，雄性和雌性都籍此机会而大肆自我宣传一番。很快地，它们就成双结对地加入群体，繁殖季节就此开始了。
