But one man was going to change all that.

可是有一个人打算推翻这种观点

Phil Currie is one of the world's most accomplished1 paleontologists.

Philip Currie是世界上最有成就的古生物学家之一

He is one of the few scientists in the world who can identify any meat-eating dinosaur2 from a single tooth.

他是少数几位仅凭一颗牙齿便能判断出食肉恐龙种类的科学家之一

It was Currie's passion for predatory dinosaurs3 that led him down to work with Rodolfo Coria on the plains of Patagonia.

Currie对掠食恐龙的痴迷使得他来到巴塔哥尼亚平原,与Rodolfo Coria一起工作

When an opportunity came up in 1995 to go to Argentina

1995年,我有机会来到阿根廷

and see Rodolfo and all the fantastic fossil finds he'd made, of course I jumped at it.

见到了Rodolfo和他那些了不起的发现,我简直是兴奋不已

Like his colleagues, Currie had always believed the mega-carnivores were solitary4 creatures and didn't hunt in packs.

和他的同事们一样,Currie一直认为大型食肉恐龙是独居动物,从来都不会集体狩猎

But over time, as he began to think things through, he made a connection.

不过随着时间的推移,他再三思考后得出了一种观点

From looking at modern animals, it became very clear that

只要看看现代动物,

maybe it wasn't such an unusual thing that big meat-eating dinosaurs were in fact pack animals.

大型食肉恐龙群居生活显然也就不是什么奇怪的事了

We'd already had good indications that the plant-eaters were herding6 animals.

我们都公认植食动物是群居动物

And it only made sense that if the carnivores wanted to break the defenses of a plant-eater's herd5,

并且也很清楚食肉动物要想打破植食动物的集体防御

the only way they could do that is by having strength of numbers.

唯一的方法就是集合群体的力量

And one of the responses that happens in a wide range of animals is that the meat-eaters become pack hunters.

很多动物都反映了这一现象,即食肉动物是群体狩猎者
