双语：大熊猫美国产双胞胎 图 America has its first panda twins in 26 years。美国26年后迎来第一对双胞胎熊猫宝宝。 　　The tiny pair were born to mother Lun Lun, a 15-year-old giant panda, at Zoo Atlanta on Monday, the first arriving at 6:21 p.m. and the second at 6:23 p.m. The zoo did not immediately know the gender of the cubs。在亚特兰大动物园，15岁的大熊猫妈妈“伦伦”于当地时间周一晚6点21分产下第一只熊猫宝宝，6点23分第二只熊猫也成功出生。动物园并未马上确认熊猫宝宝的性别。 　　The twins are the first for Lun Lun, who has two other offspring at Zoo Atlanta, and are the product of artificial insemination. Their father is 15-year-old Yang Yang, also a resident at Zoo Atlanta。熊猫妈妈伦伦在亚特兰大动物园还有两个孩子，但这是它人工授精后第一次产下双胞胎。熊猫爸爸是15岁的洋洋，也住在亚特兰大动物园里。 　　“Were thrilled to welcome Lun Luns and Yang Yangs twins. This is a success we share with all of our fellow zoological organizations working to understand and protect this iconic 　　species, and we share our joy with our local community and with our colleagues in China,” Raymond B. King, president and CEO of Zoo Atlanta, said in a statement。亚特兰大动物园主管雷蒙德 B。金在一份声明中说：“我们非常高兴能迎来伦伦和洋洋的双胞胎。我们将和所有努力工作、不断了解和保护这一标志性物种的动物学团体共享此次成功，我们与本地社区和中国的同事们分享喜悦。” The pink-colored twins -- black patches of hair will begin to appear in a week or two -- were separated shortly after birth, with one staying with Lun Lun and the other being cared for in the zoos nursery。这两只粉色的新生儿在出生后不久就被分开照料。一只待在妈妈伦伦身边，另一只则由动物育婴室照顾。再过一两个星期，它们就会长出一块块黑色的绒毛。　　“Twins are an entirely new scenario for Lun Lun, Zoo Atlanta and our animal care teams, who will no doubt be extremely busy over the next few months,” King said。金还说：“对于伦伦、亚特兰大动物园和我们的动物保健团队来说，双胞胎的降生开创了崭新局面。在接下来几个月里，我们肯定会非常忙碌。” 　　The zoo said twins typically weigh less than single-born panda cubs. A single panda cub typically weighs just 3 to 5 ounces at birth, according to the Smithsonian National Zoological Park。动物园方面透露，两只双胞胎的重量比单只出生的幼崽轻得多，根据史密森国家动物园，单只出生的熊猫幼崽出生时一般仅重3至5盎司 80至140 克 。 　　Twins are not unusual for pandas, Zoo Atlanta said in a statement, but in the wild the mother will usually only care for one of them. That is why the
