纪录片《侏罗纪之谜》 第07期 深入山谷寻找（在线收听）

Finding one dinosaur wasn't enough to unlock the secrets of the mid-Jurassic

找到一只恐龙并不足以解开中侏罗世之谜

and there was no guarantee they would find more, and worse, the site was huge,

他们不能肯定是否还能找到更多的东西，更糟的是，这个地方太大了

so Oliver quickly pulled together a small team to start searching this vast area for bones.

于是Oliver很快组建了一支小分队，开始在这片广大地区寻找骨骼

It was a massive task. They would have to comb over a thousand square miles of trackless desert.

这是一项艰巨的任务。他们必须搜索数千平方英里的荒凉沙漠

They might have spent weeks looking and found nothing, but Oliver was lucky.

他们可能连续数周一无所获，不过Oliver很幸运

On day one he struck fossil gold.

第一天他就找到了化石“金矿”

It was a dinosaur leg bone and crucially, it was from the mysterious mid-Jurassic,

这是一块恐龙腿骨，更重要的是，它来自神秘的中侏罗世

so the radioactive dinosaur was not a one-off.

看来放射性的恐龙并非只有一只

The next 10 days we started looking for fossils systematically here

后来的10天，我们开始有系统地在这里寻找

and we found bones over here, we found more bones over there.

我们在这里找到了骨骼，在那边找到了更多骨骼

We went further inwards here, further into the valley and found even more material there.

我们深入这个地方，深入山谷，找到了更多资料

And that was just the first valley.

而这只是第一座山谷。
