两只丧偶企鹅拥抱在一起的照片，荣获2020年海洋摄影大赛一等奖

Each year, the Ocean Photography Awards invite ocean photographers from all around the globe to share their best shots capturing the beauty and magnificence of under- and above-water ecosystems. “The Ocean Photography Awards are a celebration of our beautiful blue planet, as well as a platform to highlight the many plights it is facing,” the OPA team writes on their website.

每年，海洋摄影奖都会邀请来自世界各地的海洋摄影师分享他们拍摄的水下和水上生态系统的美丽和壮观的最佳照片。OPA团队在网站上写道:“海洋摄影奖是对我们美丽的蓝色星球的一种庆祝，也是一个突显它所面临的许多困境的平台。”

The winners of this year’s Ocean Photography Awards have recently been announced, and of course, as always, they do not disappoint. Though, there’s one shot that has stolen particularly many hearts this year and won the Community Choice Award. The photo we’re talking about is one taken by the German photographer Tobias Baumgaertner and it captures two fluffy penguins comforting each other.

今年海洋摄影奖的获奖者最近已经公布，当然，和往常一样，他们不会让人失望。不过，有一个镜头在今年赢得了很多人的心，还赢得了社区选择奖。我们正在谈论的这张照片是由德国摄影师托比亚斯·鲍姆盖尔特纳拍摄的，它捕捉到了两只毛茸茸的企鹅在安慰对方。

The shot that won the Community Choice Award was taken Tobias Baumgaertner in Melbourne, Australia

Tobias’ magnificent shot was captured in Melbourne, Australia. “During times like this, the truly lucky ones are those that can be with the person/people they love most,” Tobias writes in the description of the photo posted on Instagram. “These two fairy penguins poised upon a rock overlooking the Melbourne skyline were standing there for hours, flipper in flipper, watching the sparkling lights of the skyline and ocean.”

托比亚斯的精彩镜头是在澳大利亚墨尔本拍摄的。“在这种时候，真正幸运的是那些能和最爱的人在一起的人，”托比亚斯在Instagram上发布的照片描述中写道。“这两只仙女企鹅停在一块岩石上，俯瞰墨尔本的天际线，在那里站了几个小时，肩并着肩，看着地平线和海洋的闪闪发光的灯光。”

Turns out, both of these little penguins have lost their partners and were often seen comforting each other. “A volunteer approached me and told me that the white one was an elderly lady who had lost her partner and apparently so did the younger male to the left. Since then, they meet regularly, comforting each other and standing together for hours watching the dancing lights of the nearby city,” the photographer continues.

原来，这两只小企鹅都失去了它们的伴侣，经常被看到互相安慰。“一名志愿者找到我，告诉我，白色的是一位失去伴侣的年长女士，左边年轻的男性显然也失去了伴侣。从那以后，他们经常见面，互相安慰，一起站几个小时看附近城市的舞蹈灯光，”摄影师继续说。

“I spent 3 full nights with this penguin colony until I was able to get this picture,” the photographer shares

“在拍到这张照片之前，我和企鹅群度过了整整3个夜晚，”摄影师分享道

“The way that these two lovebirds were caring for one another stood out from the entire colony. While all the other penguins were sleeping or running around, those two seemed to just stand there and enjoy every second they had together, holding each other in their flippers and talking about penguin stuff,” the photographer adds.

“整个鸟群中，这两只爱鸟互相照顾的方式很特别。当其他企鹅在睡觉或四处乱跑时，那两只企鹅似乎只是站在那里，享受他们在一起的每分每秒，用鳍互相抱着对方，聊着企鹅的事情，”摄影师补充说。
