这些好玩的照片似乎捕捉了一只迷路的帝企鹅试图搭便车回家的瞬间。

The amazing pictures were taken by Paul Chapman, 56, who was heading to a popular fishing spot with his wife, Julie, when they first spotted² the bird, who was in four feet of water. They noticed the penguin on the road later that day, when they were on on their way home.

这些棒呆了的照片是由56岁的保罗·查普曼拍摄的，他正同妻子朱莉前往一个人气大热的捕鱼区。他第一次看到这只企鹅的时候，它正在4英尺深的水里。那天晚些的时候，他们在回家的路上又注意到了这只企鹅。

Mr Chapman said: 'It quite impressive the penguin managed to get there. It would have had to get through four feet of water and climb through a fence to reach the road'.

查普曼先生说：“这只企鹅设法到达那里的情景给人留下了相当深刻的印象。它可能不得不渡过4英尺深的水域，然后从围栏上爬过去，来到大路上。”

On the couple's way home, they noticed that the penguin had made it to the road and was waddling³ to the nearest town.

在这对夫妇回家的路上，他们注意到企鹅成功来到大路上，正向着最近的城镇蹒跚而行。

Mr Chapman said that when the penguin spotted him and his wife, it wasn't bothered or scared and just carried on walking.

查普曼先生说，当这只企鹅看到他和他的妻子的时候，它没有困扰或害怕，只是继续走着。
