There they come, trudging along, straight upright on stubby legs, shoulders swinging back and forth with each step, coming into focus on the screen just as I’m eating my first bite of popcorn. Then Morgan Freeman’s voice informs us that these beings are on a long and difficult journey in one of the most inhospitable places on earth, and that they are driven by their "quest for love. "
I’ve long known the story of the emperor penguin, but to see the sheer beauty and wonder of it all come into focus in the March of the Penguins, the sleeper summer hit, still took my breath away. As the movie continues, everything about these animals seems on the surface utterly different from human existence; and yet at the same time the closer one looks the more everything also seems familiar.
Stepping back and considering within the context of the vast diversity of millions of other organisms that have evolved on the tree of life — grass, trees, tapeworms, hornets, jelly-fish, tuna and elephants — these animals marching across the screen are practically kissing cousins to us.
Love is a feeling or emotion — like hate, jealousy, hunger, thirst — necessary where rationality alone would not suffice to carry the day.
Could rationality alone induce a penguin to trek 70 miles over the ice in order to mate and then balance an egg on his toes while fasting for four months in total darkness and enduring temperatures of minus-80 degrees Fahrenheit?
Even humans require an overpowering love to do the remarkable things that parents do for their children. The penguins’ drive to persist in behavior bordering on the bizarre also suggests that they love to an inordinate degree.
I suspect that the new breed of nature film will become increasingly mainstream because, as we learn more about ourselves from other animals and find out that we are more like them than was previously supposed, we are now allowed to "relate" to them, and therefore to empathize.
If we gain more exposure to the real — and if the producers and studios invest half as much care and expense into portraying animals as they do into showing ourselves — I suspect the results will be as profitable, in economic as well as emotional and intellectual terms — as the March of the Penguins.

答案
当我正吃着第一口爆米花的时候,它们的形象出现在银幕上,它们缓步走来,短粗的双腿支撑着笔直的身子,肩膀随着步子前后摆动。接着就听见摩根.弗里曼的声音,告诉我们说,这些生物正在地球上一个最荒凉的地方,进行着一次漫长而艰苦的旅行,而驱使它们这样做的正是它们“对爱的追寻”。 我早就听说过帝企鹅的故事。然而,在《企鹅的旅程》里看到它们那优美奇妙的形象时,我还是惊叹不已。这部电影是今年夏季爆出的冷门,轰动一时。电影演下去,有关企鹅的一切表面上看和人类生活显得截然不同,然而与此同时,你越仔细看就越觉得一切又似乎很熟悉。 纵观生命之树上繁衍的数百万种生物——草、树、绦虫、大黄蜂、水母、金枪鱼、大象——就会发现这些在银幕上走过的动物确实可以算是我们的近亲了。 爱是一种感情,一种冲动。它与仇恨、忌妒、饥渴一样,在光靠理性不可能成功时,是必要的。 企鹅在冰上行走70英里,前去交配,然后在脚趾上孵卵,在此期间,它们四个月不进食,周围一片漆黑,还要经受零下80华氏度的严寒。这一切光凭理性能做得到吗? 即使是人类,也需要有一种强烈的爱,才使得做父母的能为自己的子女做出那些了不起的事。企鹅在那样恶劣的环境里坚持那种近乎古怪的作法,说明它们的爱也到了异乎寻常的程度。 我估计这种新型的关于自然界的影片会日益成为主打影片,因为我们能通过了解别的动物增加对我们自己的了解,并懂得我们与它们比原来料想得更为相像,而且现在我们承认与它们有关,所以才会产生情感认同。 如果我们能看到更多的真实情况,如果制片人和制片厂将为了表现我们自己所花的心思和经费的一半用来表现各种动物,我估计,其丰厚的回报,无论是在经济方面,还是在感情和知识方面,都不会亚于影片《企鹅的旅程》。
