Back in Los Angeles, last-minute preparations are under way to get the dinosaurs ready for the public.
回到洛杉磯后，緊鑼密鼓地展開了面向公眾的恐龍展的最后準備。
It's only now that you get a sense of just how many people have been involved in creating this exhibition, from the artists to the designers, to the teams that made the interactive media and mounts for the dinosaurs, all of it bring into life of decades of research that our current scientific understanding relies on.
現在你意識到組織這場展會有多少人的參與，從演員到設計師，再到制作互動媒體和恐龍的支撐架，這些都展現了我們當今科學家花幾十年恐龍研究的成果。
The exhibition consists of over 300 specimens. It's taken more than six years to complete and cost tens of millions of dollars.
展覽由300多個標本組成。花了六年的時間和數千萬美元的成本。
We've created an exhibit that this part of the world has never seen.
我們創建了一個從未見過的一部分世界。
And it's very rewarding for me to think about the millions of kids and the millions of people that during the next twenty years will visit this exhibit and will remember this exhibit for the rest of their lives.
讓我感到非常欣慰的是，在接下來的二十年里，會有數以百萬計的孩子和成人將會參觀這個展會，并且在他們的一生中留下深刻的印象。
These animals look like something out of a comic book or a Hollywood studio, but they were real.
這些恐龍看上去像漫畫書里的或者是好萊塢工作室中的，但是它們是真實的。
From a pile of dusty bones millions of years old, we can put a skeleton back together, flesh it out, tell what colour there creatures were and even say something about how they grew up.
從一堆塵土飛揚有幾千萬年歷史的骨頭中，我們可以把骨骼拼湊到一起，充實肌肉，說出恐龍的顏色，甚至能說出他們是怎么生長的。
I think this is a unique time to be a dinosaur paleontologist.
我認為這是成為恐龍古生物學家的特別時刻。
We are finding so much, discovering new dinosaurs and learning new things about them.
我們找到這么多，發現新的恐龍，知道有關它的新知識。
There are certainly still gaps in our knowledge, but I find it amazing just how much we do know about there extinct animals that no one has ever actually seen alive and that lived so many millions of years ago.
我們掌握的知識還是有欠缺，但是我覺得我們發現了那么多有關我們從來都沒有見過，已經滅絕了的恐龍的知識還是很了不起的。
The creatures themselves are utterly all inspiring.
恐龍本身是非常鼓舞人心的。
But I think so is the incredible amount of work and vast numbers of people involved in reconstructing them so that we can come face to face with a dinosaur.
但是我是這么認為的，很多重建工作的伙伴承受著難以置信的工作量，是大家的共同努力，今天才為觀眾們帶來與恐龍面對面的展會。
