His unconventional hairstyle could be that of a typical rebellious teenager.
看著一頭亂糟糟不尋常的發型，一看就像是個典型的有逆反心理的年輕人。
And like any proud parent, his mother appears distinctly unamused by her son's unruly plumage.
跟所有以自己的孩子為榮的父母一樣，企鵝媽媽看到兒子這樣一點不服帖的羽毛，明確地表現出了不高興的情緒。
Unfortunately, there is little either can do about the unkempt afro-style haircut this young penguin is sporting after he took longer to shed his baby feathers than the other youngsters in the colony.
但不幸的是，這么亂蓬蓬的爆炸頭發型也沒什么好的處理辦法。在群居的種族里，這只小企鵝褪掉幼兒絨毛的速度要比“同齡人” 緩慢得多。
Most of the other young penguins had already grown a set of adult feathers but this late developer needed a helping hand.
大部分的年輕企鵝已經長出了成年羽毛，但這只發育較遲緩的企鵝看來需要別人幫一把。
The little King Penguin had already grown majestic black and white feathers on his wings and stomach. But instead of a golden crest on his head, sat a tuft of downy brown fluff.
這只小帝企鵝的翅膀和腹部已經長出了黑白相間的羽毛，但是與成年企鵝頭上的金冠（金黃色的羽毛）不同，他的頭頂上卻是一簇毛茸茸的棕色絨毛。
The picture was taken in South Georgia by Sjoerd van Berge Henegouwen, 45, a criminal defence lawyer from Maastricht in The Netherlands said: 'I kind of got the feeling that the parent penguin was worried about the chick being so late in the season with its moulting process.
照片的拍攝地點是南喬治亞島，45歲的攝影師Sjoerd 來自荷蘭馬斯特里赫特市，是位刑事辯護律師。他表示：“我感覺企鵝媽媽好像是在擔心自己的孩子，因為正值企鵝的換羽時節，但小企鵝明顯發育比較遲緩?！?/div>
'The moulting process happens to the adult birds as well as the young penguins. For the adults this starts towards the end of the subantarctic summer, for the youngsters however this process starts earlier.
“成年鳥類和小企鵝都會經歷換羽過程。成年企鵝會在亞南極的夏天結束之際開始換羽，而年輕企鵝則會開始得更早一些?！?/div>
'The penguin in the photo is halfway done with moulting its down, but he is rather late already. Some of the younger penguins are long done with shedding of their down and turning into real adult King Penguins.'
“照片中的企鵝換羽過程進行了一半，但他已經比同伴們遲多了。一些年輕企鵝早褪掉了之前的絨毛成長成真正的成年帝企鵝了。”
