侏羅紀(jì)搏擊俱樂(lè)部 第28期:霸王龍:一方有難，八方支援

They're very similar kinds of animals from their basicstructure.

它們是基本結(jié)構(gòu)非常接近的動(dòng)物。

Their strength was probably very comparable.

它們的力量也很可能旗鼓相當(dāng)。

Probably the differences would most amount toexperience if we're talking about a youngster, versusan animal that's been around the block a few times.

所以要是比較一頭幼年恐龍和已經(jīng)久經(jīng)沙場(chǎng)的動(dòng)物，可能最大的區(qū)別就在于它們的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

If an adult were around, a Nanotyrannus would neverdare attack a juvenile Rex.

如果成年霸王龍?jiān)诟浇?，矮暴龍絕不敢攻擊幼霸王龍。

The only time a fight would occur would be if the adults were out hunting and had left thejuveniles alone.

戰(zhàn)斗只可能發(fā)生在成年霸王龍留下幼崽去狩獵的時(shí)侯。

Without the protection of an adult, then a juvenile would need to rely on its sheer bulk as adeterrent to be being attacked.

沒(méi)有了成年霸王龍的保護(hù)，幼龍只能靠它的塊頭來(lái)抵御對(duì)它的攻擊。

Even though it's not an adult, a young Tyrannosaurus Rex is still a powerhouse.

雖然它尚未成年，年輕的霸王龍仍然力道十足。

The long legs of Nanotyrannus may have given it an edge when it came to its speed andagility.

矮暴龍的長(zhǎng)腿也許給了它速度和靈巧方面的優(yōu)勢(shì)。

But when attacked, the juvenile T-Rex may have been more than a match.

不過(guò)當(dāng)受到攻擊時(shí)，幼年霸王龍也不是易于之輩。

When we compare a Nanotyrannus verses a sub adult Tyrannosaurus Rex of about the samesize,

當(dāng)我們把一頭矮暴龍和一頭大小相當(dāng)?shù)奈闯赡臧酝觚堖M(jìn)行比較的時(shí)候，

they're going to be extraordinarily similar in terms of their hind limbs, their tail and their bodyproportions.

它們的后肢、尾巴和身體的比例都出奇地相近。

So they are, again, going to be very evenly matched when it comes to speed and agility.

所以它們?cè)谒俣群挽`巧方面差不多勢(shì)均力敵。

Nanotyrannus would have something up on the juvenile Tyrannosaurus Rex.

矮暴龍會(huì)比幼霸王龍有一些優(yōu)勢(shì)。

Not only would it be more agile, because its musculature was probably a little bit different,but also it would have a lot more experience than this juvenile T-Rex.

它不僅更靈巧，因?yàn)樗鼈兊募∪饨M織會(huì)有點(diǎn)兒不同，而且比這頭幼霸王龍有更多經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

So it would anticipate and be able to make the move, a lot more smoothly and more quicklythan a juvenile Tyrannosaurus Rex.

所以它能預(yù)見(jiàn)情勢(shì)，能比幼年霸王龍更流暢迅速地發(fā)動(dòng)進(jìn)攻。

Although an adult Nanotyrannus would have been faster and more agile than a juvenile T-Rex,the Rex had one advantage and that's family support.

雖然成年矮暴龍會(huì)比幼霸王龍更加迅速靈巧，但霸王龍也有優(yōu)勢(shì)，那就是家族支援。

If the Rex had a sibling, it would change the complexity of a battle very quickly.

如果霸王龍有兄弟姐妹，就能迅速改變爭(zhēng)斗的復(fù)雜情況。

With completely different tooth design, these two dinosaurs may have used them differently.

因?yàn)樗鼈兊难例X設(shè)計(jì)完全不同，這兩種恐龍也許對(duì)其使用也不同。

There is no doubt that each were effective weapons, but which would be more deadly incombat,

毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)每種都是有效的武器，不過(guò)哪種在戰(zhàn)斗中更加致命?

the thin slicing teeth of Nanotyrannus, or the thick crushing teeth of T-Rex?

是矮暴龍的刃狀牙齒?還是霸王龍粗大有力的牙齒呢?
