 (REUTERS)one thousand of Australia's fairy penguins are ready for winter and oil spills.

(路透社电)一千只澳洲小企鹅已经有万全准备,可以抵御寒冬与油轮漏油的威胁。
One thousand tiny woolen sweaters were specially knitted for them, some came from as far away as Japan.
一千件小羊毛衣是特别为它们量身“订织”的,有的还从日本远渡重洋而来。
The jerseys,which cover the 40cm tall penguins from neck to ankle,stop oil-coated birds preening themselves and ingesting oil.
这些针织衣物可以将四十公分高的企鹅从脖子到脚躁全都包覆,并可防止身上沽满油污的企鹅梳理它们的羽毛而因此吃下油污。
