Albatross信天翁
The albatross received its name from the alcatras, a frigate bird of similar appearance with which the oceanic bird was confused.
信天翁得名于alcatras，这是一种军舰鸟，有着与信天翁这种海鸟相似的外形，因此常常被弄混。
According to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), the alteration of the first syllable alca occurred by folk-etymological association with classical Latin albus ‘white’ in reference to the predominant colour of the plumage of many species of albatross.
根据牛津词典，一个音节alca的改变与词源有关，拉丁语中albus表示白色，而多种信天翁体表大部分的羽毛都是白色。
Penguin企鹅
The origin of the word penguin is still a matter of debate among etymologists. It is probably derived from a Welsh phrase pen gwyn, meaning ‘white head’.
词源学学者对peguin一词的来源仍争论不休。有一种说法是它来源于威尔士语pen gwyn，意思是白色的头部。
Apparently, the name was first given to a different bird, the now extinct Great Auk, which closely resembled the penguin in its appearance. It is assumed that the British sailors who first discovered the penguins mistook them for Great Auks and applied their name to the unfamiliar birds.
显然，这个名字早属于别的鸟类——我们现在所说的大海雀，它和企鹅的外形十分相似。据说，早发现企鹅的英国船员将其误认为大海雀并把这种他们并不认识的鸟类称作大海雀。
