密苏里企鹅在当地博物馆享受“艺术之晨”

First, a group of the flightless birds were recently allowed to roam the halls of Chicago's Shedd Aquarium .

首先，一群不会飞的鸟最近被允许在芝加哥谢德水族馆的大厅里漫步。

The outing was arranged by The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Mo., and the Kansas City Zoo. Both institutions are closed to the public because the pandemic.

这次参观是由密苏里州堪萨斯城的纳尔逊·阿特金斯艺术博物馆和堪萨斯城动物园安排的。由于大流行，这两个机构都不对公众开放。

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."

隔离令每个人都有点疯狂，甚至堪萨斯城动物园的动物们也是如此。因此，几只企鹅决定到纳尔逊·阿特金斯进行一次实地旅行(那里还没开门)，去感受一下当地的文化。”

The zoo's executive director, Randy Wisthoff, said that their Humboldt penguins have missed their regular interactions with zoo visitors.

动物园执行主任兰迪·威斯特霍夫说，他们的洪堡企鹅错过了与动物园游客的日常互动。

"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.

“我们一直在寻找方法来丰富它们的生活，刺激它们的生活，在关闭期间，我们的动物真的很想念前来看望它们的游客，”威斯特霍夫说。

The zoo also has a camera to watch the penguins when at home.

该动物园还配备了一台摄像机，可以在家观看企鹅表演。

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.

这种企鹅原产于秘鲁和智利，博物馆馆长朱利安·祖加萨戈蒂亚若有所思地说，当他说西班牙语时，企鹅们似乎“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.

如果你想知道企鹅可能喜欢哪种艺术，这次出游提供了一些(非常)适合的轶事证据，证明它们可能会被意大利巴洛克风格的技巧所吸引。”“他们对卡拉瓦乔的反应显然比对莫内的反应更强烈，”祖加萨戈蒂亚调侃道。
