6 Ch6-The Hall of Dinosaurs

Chapter 6 The Hall of Dinosaurs There were about a million hundred stairs to climb. But when I got to the top, I saw the most amazing thing in the history of the world! No, it wasn't another candy machine. It was the missing Tyrannosaurus rex! "Aha!" said Ms. Krup. "There he is! Rexy, you are a naughty boy!" "WOW!" we all said, which is "MOM" upside-down. Rexy was AMAZING. Ms. Krup told us that Tyrannosaurus rex means "tyrant lizard king." She also told us that Rexy is twenty feet tall, but his arms are shorter than ours. And he only has two fingers on each hand. "Look at his teeth!" said Ryan. "They could crunch through bone," Ms. Krup told us. "That thing would bite your head off in a minute," I said. "Hey," Ryan said, "if T. rex and Giganotosaurus got into a fight, who do you think would win?" "Giganotosaurus would kick T. rex's butt," said Michael. "No way," said Neil. "T. rex would kick Giganotosaurus's butt."

第六章恐龙厅要爬的楼梯大约有一百万级。 但是当我到达山顶时，我看到了世界历史上最令人惊奇的事情!不，那不是另一台糖果机。 是失踪的雷克斯暴龙!“哈!” Krup。“他在那儿!”雷克西，你真是个淘气的孩子!”“哇!”我们都说，这是颠倒过来的“妈妈”。 雷克西太棒了。克鲁普女士告诉我们，霸王龙的意思是“暴君蜥蜴之王”。 她还告诉我们，雷克西有20英尺高，但他的手臂比我们的短。 他每只手上只有两个手指。 “看他的牙齿!”瑞恩说。 “它们可以咬碎骨头。” 克鲁普告诉我们的。“那东西马上就会咬掉你的头，”我说。 “嘿，”瑞恩说，“如果霸王龙和南方巨兽龙打起来，你觉得谁会赢?”南方巨兽龙会踢T。 雷克斯的屁股，”迈克尔说。 “不可能，”尼尔说。“霸王龙会踢南方巨兽龙的屁股。”

"Neither of you is right," Ms. Krup said. "These two meat eaters would never fight. They lived millions of years apart." "I still say T. rex would kick his butt," said Neil the nude kid. There was a model T. rex skull that we could look at close-up. I put my head in its mouth, and Ryan took a picture with his camera. It was a real Kodak moment. Then all the other copycats put their heads in T. rex's mouth for the fun of it. Well, except for Emily, who was too scared. The room was called the Hall of Dinosaurs. We got to see a stegosaurus and a triceratops, and some other dinosaurs too. We learned all kinds of cool stuff. Did you know that some dinosaurs swallowed rocks to break up the food in their stomach? Yuck!

“你们两个都不对。” Krup说。“这两个肉食者永远不会打架。 他们相隔数百万年。” “我还是觉得霸王龙会踢他的屁股，”裸体小孩尼尔说。 有一个霸王龙头骨模型，我们可以近距离观察。 我把头放进它嘴里，瑞恩用他的相机拍了张照片。 这是一个真正的柯达时刻。 然后其他的模仿者都把脑袋放进了T。 雷克斯的嘴，为了好玩。 除了艾米丽，她太害怕了。 这个房间被称为恐龙厅。 我们看到了剑龙和三角龙，还有其他一些恐龙。 我们学到了很多很酷的东西。 你知道有些恐龙吞石头是为了分解胃里的食物吗? 讨厌的东西!

We saw real dinosaur eggs and footprints too. Ms. Krup showed us how to make fossil rubbings that we could take home. She let us hunt for dinosaur bones in a big sandbox, but I didn't find any. Then she gave us dinosaur-shaped graham crackers for a snack. "Dinosaurs are the coolest animals in the history of the world," I told everybody. "And we got to see them dead and in person." "Kids can learn a lot from dead animals," Ms. Krup said. "But we also have live animals at the museum." "Live animals?!" Emily said, looking all scared. "Sure," said Ms. Krup. "Follow me!"

我们还看到了真正的恐龙蛋和脚印。 克鲁普女士向我们展示了如何制作可以带回家的化石拓片。 她让我们在一个大沙箱里寻找恐龙骨头，但我什么也没找到。 然后她给了我们恐龙形状的全麦饼干当点心。 “恐龙是世界历史上最酷的动物，”我告诉大家。 “我们亲眼看到了他们的死亡。” 孩子们可以从死去的动物身上学到很多东西。 Krup说。“但我们博物馆里也有活体动物。” “活的动物? !”爱米丽说，看起来很害怕。 “当然，”克鲁普说。“跟我来!”
