CNN News: 首次在琥珀中發(fā)現(xiàn)恐龍尾巴

 
All right. Next story, at an amber market in the Asia country of Myanmar, which is also known as Burma, a Chinese paleontologist recently found something amazing, the tail of what scientists say is a 99-million-year-old dinosaur. It was frozen in amber, yes, like Jurassic Park. The paleontologist said the seller might not have realized the importance of the find, but he didn`t raise the price.
 
下一條新聞，緬甸是一個(gè)亞洲國家，最近一位中國古生物學(xué)家在琥珀緬甸市場發(fā)現(xiàn)了令人驚奇的事物，科學(xué)及愛表示，那是約9900萬年前的恐龍化石。它被凍結(jié)在琥珀中，對的，就像電影《侏羅紀(jì)公園》。該古生物學(xué)家表示，賣方可能還沒意識到這一發(fā)現(xiàn)的重要性，所以沒有提高價(jià)格。
 
Researchers believe it was the tail of a sparrow-sized dinosaur from a group called coelurosaurs. And close ups of the tail indicate the animal had feathers instead of scales. One expert says these aren`t quite the Godzilla-style scaly monsters we once thought they were.
 
研究人員認(rèn)為這是虛骨龍中一種麻雀大小恐龍的尾巴。但是尾巴的閉合狀態(tài)表示，這種動物有的是羽毛，而不是鱗屑。一位專家表示，他們并不是我們之前認(rèn)為的那種有鱗的恐龍。
 
Another paleontologist co-published the findings on the specimen in a scientific journal named Current Biology. He says it`s the first time that part of a mummified dinosaur skeleton has been found. He calls it a once in a lifetime discovery with the finest details visible and in three dimensions.
 
另外一個(gè)古生物學(xué)家在科學(xué)雜志《當(dāng)代生物學(xué)》聯(lián)合發(fā)表了該研究結(jié)果。他表示，這是首次在琥珀發(fā)現(xiàn)恐龍化石骨骼的尾巴部分。該生物學(xué)家將此發(fā)現(xiàn)描述為一生中、在立體空間發(fā)現(xiàn)的最好的明顯的細(xì)節(jié)。
 
What you`re about to see now is kind of the opposite of the mannequin challenge. It has to do with kinematics, the study of motion. A technologically advanced way to document the movements of people, animals or objects is to use motion captured cameras. They`re specialized, higher end, mot-cap systems can cause tens of thousands of dollars.
 
你將看到的是與人體模型挑戰(zhàn)的另外一面。該挑戰(zhàn)與運(yùn)動學(xué)有關(guān)。用一種先進(jìn)的技術(shù)手段——動作捕捉相機(jī)來記錄人體、動物和物體的運(yùn)動。這種具有專業(yè)、高端、動作捕捉系統(tǒng)的相機(jī)需要耗資上萬美元。
 
And you might have seen them used for movies, sports, computer programs or especially video games, this technology is also moving forward in the fields of engineering and medicine.
 
你可能見過它們應(yīng)用于電影、體育、計(jì)算機(jī)程序或特別是視頻游戲,這種技術(shù)將應(yīng)用于移動工程領(lǐng)域和醫(yī)學(xué)。
