GAUTHIER: They certainly can't flap with their hind limbs.

高希尔：它们当然不能用后肢拍打。

GAUTHIER: When the animal is squashed flat, as these are, well, it leaves a little room for interpretation.

高希尔：当动物被压扁时，就像这些一样，它留下了一点解释的空间。

" It is clear, " replied Gauthier Ralph; " and we have nothing to do but to present Mr. Fogg's cheque at Barings to–morrow" .

" 那还用说，" 高杰·弱夫回答说，" 我们就等着明天拿着福克先生的支票到巴林兄弟银行去取款了！"

GAUTHIER: After the, you know, asteroid hit, 65 million years ago, the only dinosaurs that came out of it are today's birds, and they seem to have survived it well enough.

高蒂尔：6500 万年前，小行星撞击地球后，唯一从中诞生的恐龙就是今天的鸟类，而且它们似乎在这次撞击中幸存了下来。
