The questions about Louis's baby Trex run even deeper than its appearance.
和路易斯的宝贝龙有关的问题比表象更有深度。
With such limited fossils, some scientists have actually questioned whether the bones might belong to a different species of dinosaur entirely, something like a Trex, but much smaller.
根据这些有限的化石，一些科学家开始质疑这些骨头是否属于完全不同种类的恐龙，和宝贝龙接近，但是更小的龙。
Your presenting of a mounted skeleton of this baby Trex, and this is the first baby Trex that's been found and has been put on display.
你呈现的是宝贝龙组合好的骨架，这个是被发现的第一个恐龙，已经开始展览。
How can you be sure that it is indeed a Trex and it's a baby, because bones change as juveniles turn into adults.
你怎么确定这就一定是Trex，这个是宝贝龙，因为从少年到成年，龙的骨头会发生变化。
You can read the characteristics of the bone tissue.
你可以通过骨头的组织来判断。
And that can tell you if the animal is a fullgrown individual or if it's a baby, a very young individual.
你可以判别出动物是发育完全的个体还是只是一个婴儿，非常年幼的个体。
So we know that. Perhaps in the future discoveries may prove that there was another species of tyrannosaur that essentially lived together with Trex, and then maybe this is a baby of that particular species.
所以我们知道那是什么。也许未来发现可能会证明那是另外一种霸王龙，本质上是和Trex住在一起的，或者是那种特殊物种的后代。
But at the moment, with the information that we have, it seems that the most reasonable hypothesis is to say this one represents a baby of a tyrannosaur's racks.
但是当下，根据我们现有的信息，认为它是霸王龙的后代是最合理的假设。
I think that you're quite brave to put something like a baby Trex in this exhibition as a mounted skeleton because there is nothing to compare it with.
我认为你把宝贝龙的骨架组合好拿出来展览很有勇气，因为没有可以与之比较的东西。
It's our responsibility to make sure that people understand that things are not written in stone. And our scientific conclusions change as we gather more evidence.
确保让人们理解事情不是一成不变的，这是我们的义务。当证据越丰富，我们的科学结论就会改变。
Back in New Jersey, the Trexes are nearly complete. And Louis has come to inspect them.
回到新泽西，宝贝龙的骨骼组合已经接近完成。路易斯来到这里视察。
This is phenomenal, you know, it's awesome. This is fantastic, really fantastic.
这是非凡的，你知道，这很了不起。这也是神奇的，确实神奇。
Everything you thought it would be? Better, better. Good.
你认为所有的事会怎么样？越来越好。很好。
It's hard to describe but I feel that it's very dynamic, you know.
很难描述我的感受，你知道的，它会有变化。
We brought the right hand and foot over the centerline court, (Yeah, I can see that.) And there's a lot of, quite a bit of movement.
我们把右手和右脚放在场地的中心线上，（是的，你能看到。）有很多，相当多的移动。
I'm glad you like that, Luis. I think it's phenomenal.
很高兴你喜欢这个，路易斯。我认为这是显著的。
