Several more dolphins were found washed ashore and stranded on a beach near Tokyo on Tuesday morning, one day after dozens were found stranded in the same place a day earlier.

周二上午，又有几只海豚被发现被冲上岸，搁浅在东京附近的海滩上，而一天前，在同一地点，发现了几十只海豚搁浅。

At around 8am local time on Tuesday, eight melon-headed whale dolphins were found by officials and others along the coastline of Isumi and Ichinomiya in Chiba Prefecture on the Pacific coast.

当地时间周二上午8点左右，官员和其他人在太平洋沿岸千叶县夷隅和一宫的海岸线上，发现了8只瓜头鲸海豚。

The officials said four of the mammals were likely to be dead, with the remaining others believed to be in a weakened state.

官员们表示，其中四只海豚可能已经死亡，其余的处于虚弱状态。

A total of 33 adult dolphins, each around two meters long, were found on the same coastline on Monday, stretching around 500 meters. Three of them were subsequently confirmed dead, according to local officials and media.

周一，在同一条海岸线上，共发现了33只成年海豚，每只长约两米，绵延约500米。据当地官员和媒体报道，其中三条海豚随后被证实死亡。

They may have weakened from swimming too close to the coast where the water is cold, Yukio Miyauchi, head of the Choshi Ocean Institute in Chiba Prefecture, was quoted as saying on Monday.

位于千叶县的铫子海洋研究所所长宫内由纪夫(Yukio Miyauchi)周一表示:“它们可能因为游得离海水寒冷的海岸太近而变得虚弱。”

This breed of dolphin, experts say, is usually found in tropical to subtropical waters at this time of year and then tends to head north for food in spring.

专家说，这种海豚通常在每年的这个时候出现在热带到亚热带水域，然后在春天倾向于向北觅食。

According to local media, surfers in the area helped return the surviving dolphins back into deeper waters on Tuesday.

但协助救援的工作人员说，这些瓜头海豚却仍旧游回到浅滩，在海滩上困难的呼吸。
