Le Bohec said, "The plight of the king penguin should serve as a warning about the future of the entire marine environment in the Antarctic."(LeBohec說：“應(yīng)該把帝企鵝的困境當(dāng)作對未來南極整個海洋環(huán)境的一個警告來對待。”)

Now, new evidence reveals that all or most of the Antarctic ice sheet collapsed at least once during the past 1.3 million years.(現(xiàn)在，新的證據(jù)顯示，在過去130萬年中，全部的南極冰蓋或其中大部分至少都崩塌過一次。)

That's because of a clockwise current of water called the Antarctic circumpolar current.(這是由于被稱為南極繞極環(huán)流的順時針環(huán)流造成的。)

Recent expeditions have taken ice samples from green icebergs and ice cores—vertical, cylindrical ice samples reaching down to great depths—from the glacial ice shelves along the Antarctic continent.(近代的探險隊已經(jīng)從綠色冰山和冰核中帶回了一些冰塊樣本，這些樣本呈垂直的圓柱狀，是沿著南極洲大陸的冰川冰架從極深的位置中取出的。)

The stunning, austere beauty of the Antarctic icescape is our constant companion.(這令人目眩而又樸實無華的美麗南極冰景一直陪伴著我們。)

Measurements taken over the south pole reflect changes in the mass of the Antarctic ice sheets.(南極地區(qū)的數(shù)據(jù)反映了南極冰蓋質(zhì)量的變化。)

The Antarctic Ice Sheet waxed and waned, and global sea level rose and fell.(隨著南極冰蓋冰凍和消融，全球海平面也在降低和升高。)

The Antarctic landscape, no less than the icefields of Chile, can deliver surprises.(南極大陸的的面積不小于智利的冰原，它能夠制造出奇跡。)

Because of the extreme cold, the Antarctic is a uniquely fragile environment.(由于極端寒冷，南極州的生態(tài)環(huán)境尤其脆弱。)

By the century's end, they predict snowfall retreating to the Antarctic continent's edge.(他們預(yù)測，到本世紀(jì)末，降雪將撤退至南極邊緣。)
