Currie's site seemed to prove it all. But other paleontologists were not yet convinced.
Currie的發現似乎已證明了這一切。可是其它古生物學家仍持有保留態度
Bone beds are very tantalizing, because you have a tremendous number of bones in one single layer.
化石場的資料非常混亂，因為大量骨骼被埋在同一地層中
And for tempting to look at that as evidence for a herd of animals, living in one place at one time.
你當然很渴望一群恐龍生活在同一時代、同一地點
There are times when the bone bed information I think supports that interpretation. But there are times when it does not.
有時候這些資料能證明這一點。有時候卻不是這樣
Before anyone would accept Currie's evidence, he would have to verify some key details about the dig site.
在別人反駁Currie之前，他必須核實一些關于挖掘點的關鍵性的證據
A collection of bones and bone bed doesn't automatically mean what we looking that a collection of animals lived together.
從一個化石場收集到的骨骼并不能直接說明這些動物生活在一起
Sometimes bone beds accumulate from large areas of land where floods have brought all kinds of animal remains together and makes them up.
有時化石可能來自很大一片地區，因為洪水把各種恐龍的尸體都沖在了一起
So you might be looking at an accumulation from ...of many different animals, from miles and miles away.
所以你看到的這許多不同的恐龍可能來自數英里之外
This was the first problem.
這是第一個問題
Flood waters spreading acrooss the plains could have washed together the remains of several unrelated tyrannosaurs.
鋪蓋平原的洪水可能把許多互不相干的暴龍尸體沖到一起
Buried in the same place millions of years ago, today they might look like a pack.
在同一個地方埋葬了億萬年后，它們今天看上去就像是一個族群
