6What's the connection between bird and dinosaur behavior?鳥類和恐龍的行為之間有什麼聯繫呢？

7Also, they were an extremely successful kind of dinosaur.並且，它們作為恐龍而言是很成功的。

8Why did scientists want more information about the dinosaur extinctions?為什麼科學家們想要了解更多關於恐龍滅絕的信息？

9As for popular attitudes towards dinosaur, take the Oviraptor for instance.至於人們對恐龍的普遍態度，以盜龍為例。

10Kamen Rider OOO's final form will be based around the Dinosaur Core Medals.假面騎士 OOO 的最終形態將以恐龍核心勳章為基礎。

11The scientists also plugged the numbers for Apatosaurus, another huge plant-eating dinosaur.科學家們還用上了關於另一種大型食草恐龍——雷龍的數據。

12Those who suspect they were warm-blooded point out that dinosaur bone is generally fibro-lamellar in nature.那些懷疑恐龍是温血動物的人指出，恐龍的骨骼在本質上通常是纖維層狀的。

13In the 1920s, a paleontologist discovered the fossil remains of a small dinosaur near a nest containing eggs.20世紀20年代，一位古生物學家在一個裝着蛋的巢穴附近發現了一隻小恐龍的化石遺蹟。

14Taxonomists renamed it Apatosaurus in 1903 when it was discovered that two different names referred to the same dinosaur.1903年，當發現有兩個不同的名字指代這一恐龍時，分類學家們將它重新命名為 Apatosaurus。

15Some scientists contend that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like a warm-blooded mammal's than a cold-blooded reptile's.一些科學家認為，許多種類的恐龍的新陳代謝更像温血哺乳動物，而不是冷血爬行動物。

16The real interest is the early date, showing that we still know very little about the earliest stages of dinosaur and pterosaur evolution.真正令人感興趣的是早期的數據，這表明我們對恐龍和翼龍進化的早期階段仍然知之甚少。

17Since adult dinosaur fossils have sometimes been discovered near or on top of nests, we've been looking at the dinosaur parenting behavior.由於成年恐龍化石有時在巢穴附近或巢穴頂部被發現，我們一直在觀察恐龍的育兒行為。

18Dinosaur fossils have been found in postures that we now believe to indicate brooding behavior, that is, sitting on the eggs until they hatch.我們現在認為恐龍化石被發現時的姿勢表明孵蛋的行為，也就是説，坐在蛋上直到蛋孵化。

19The find helps cement the dinosaur-bird connection, but it also casts new light on the mystery of why nature invented feathers in the first place.這一發現有助於鞏固恐龍和鳥類之間的聯繫，但它也為自然界最初為什麼會產生羽毛這一謎題提供了新的線索。

20Dissatisfaction with conventional explanations for dinosaur extinctions led to a surprising observation that, in turn, has suggested a new hypothesis.人們對恐龍滅絕的傳統解釋感到不滿，導致了一個令人驚訝的發現，轉而引發了新的假設。

21A few astronomers thought they could see even more of a dinosaur-cosmos link, a pattern of mass extinctions occurring like clockwork in the geologic record.一些天文學家認為他們可以看到更多的恐龍與宇宙之間的聯繫，這種大規模滅絕的模式就像地質記錄上的時鐘一樣。

22While digging in the Egyptian desert, huge fossil bones have been found by paleontologists, which appears to have been the second most massive dinosaur that ever lived.在埃及沙漠中挖掘時，古生物學家們發現了巨大的骨骼化石，這似乎是有史以來體型第二大的恐龍。

23He assumed the dinosaur was stealing the eggs, so he named it Oviraptor that means egg thief in Latin, which fueled the generally negative public image of such dinosaurs.他認為這隻恐龍是在偷蛋，所以他將其命名為 Oviraptor，在拉丁語中表示“偷蛋賊”，這進一步惡化了這些恐龍在人們心目中的負面形象。

24This question remains unanswered; indeed, taking all the evidence into account, one cannot make a definitive statement about dinosaur physiology on the basis of dinosaur bone.這個問題仍然沒有答案；事實上，根據所有證據，我們不能基於恐龍骨骼對恐龍生理學做出一個明確的聲明。

25Although de Ricqlès urged caution, arguing for an intermediate type of dinosaur physiology, a generation of paleontologists has come to believe that dinosaur bone is mammalian like.儘管 de Ricqlès 極力主張謹慎對待，主張恐龍生理學的一種中間類型，但這一代古生物學家已經開始相信恐龍骨骼與哺乳動物相似。

26As we've discussed, birds are apparently descendants of dinosaurs and shared many commonalities with some dinosaur species, like feathers and maybe even flight and of course egg laid.正如我們討論過的，鳥類顯然是恐龍的後代，與一些恐龍物種有許多共同之處，比如羽毛，甚至飛行，當然還有產卵。

27There are two key fossils called Proganochelys quenstedti and Palaeochersis talampayensis dating from early dinosaur times, which appear to be close to the ancestry of all modem turtles and tortoises.原顎龜化石（Proganochelys quenstedti） 和古老陸地龜化石（Palaeochersis talampayensis） 這兩種重要化石最早可以追溯到恐龍時代，它們與所有現代海龜和烏龜的祖先最為接近。

28More dinosaur fossils, including footprints, bones or eggs, could be discovered in the future.未來可能會發現更多包括腳印、骨頭或恐龍蛋在內的恐龍化石。

29The first dinosaur they meet is a friendly wannanosaurus.他們遇到的第一隻恐龍是一隻友好的皖南龍。

30The most popular destination within northeastern Utah is Dinosaur National Monument near Vernal.猶他州東北部最受歡迎的景點是弗納爾附近的恐龍國家紀念碑。
