The jaws of T-Rex are infamous and lethal, housing sixty teeth with some as long as 30 centimeters. Its skull is constructed of 64 bones designed to be light but strong. It’s 16 times stronger than the jaws of an alligator. The front teeth are dagger-shaped, with serrated edges designed to tear flesh. The larger side teeth are rounded, perfect for crunching bone. Solidly anchored into muscle, they could withstand pressure from any direction.
雷克斯霸王龙的颚令人胆寒，这是一个致命的武器，颚内生长60颗牙齿，一些牙齿的长度达到30厘米。雷克斯霸王龙的头骨由64块骨头组成，轻巧但十分强壮。雷克斯霸王龙的颚比短吻鳄的颚强壮16倍。雷克斯霸王龙的前牙犹如匕首状，牙齿边缘呈锯形，以便撕咬。边部稍大些的牙齿呈圆形，是碾碎骨头的利器。这些骨头都稳固地嵌入肌肉中，可以承受来自任何方向的压力。
We have a pretty good idea of how it killed its prey. It seems to have just walked right up to them, taken a bite, and whatever happens happens.
我们能清楚地认识到雷克斯霸王龙是怎么不杀猎物的。他们似乎就是上去横冲直撞，咬上一口，接下来刚发生的就都发生了。
Unlike many dinosaurs, they wouldn’t just take the flesh of the carcass. They basically eat most of the carcass.
与其他恐龙不一样的是，雷克斯霸王龙不仅吃猎物残骸上的肉，它们也食用猎物的大部分残骸。
T-Rex’s huge legs and pelvis make up half its total body weight. Its tail weighs almost a ton. This is because it has to balance out nearly half a ton of head and jaws. Their head is two thirds muscle, which power jaws capable of enough force to bite through a steel oil drum.
雷克斯霸王龙巨大的前腿和骨盆占据他们整个身体重量的一半。它们的尾巴有一吨重，这是为了平衡来自头和颚一吨的重量。它们头部的三分之二都是肌肉，这能带动颚产生足够的力量，能将钢油桶咬穿。
All that muscle delivers a bite strong enough to defeat the toughest prey of the Cretaceous.
这些肌肉可以使雷克斯霸王龙的咬击足够杀死白垩纪防御力最高的猎物。
T-Rex’s teeth are among the bluntest teeth, bluntest, least sharp of the whole family of Tyrannosaurs. Those teeth are designed to crush, to penetrate thick layers of armor, and muscle, in a crushing, massive hemorrhaging blow.
雷克斯霸王龙的牙齿在整个霸王龙家庭中是最迟钝的。但是它们是用来碾压的，用来穿透坚硬的盔甲壳，仅仅致命一击。
The muscles in T-Rex’s neck are nearly as powerful as the muscles of its legs. At half a meter thick, they’re strong enough to lift a hippo or bring down the most well-armed, best-defended herbivore nature has ever produced, Triceratops.
雷克斯霸王龙颈部的肌肉几乎和腿部的肌肉一样强壮有力。它们足有半米厚，并且强壮到可以将一头河马咬起，或者扳倒有史以来盔甲最厚，防御力最强的食草动物——三角恐龙。
The best way to attack Triceratops is with a long-barreled, 75 millimeter antitank gun.
攻击三角恐龙的最好方法就是用一个枪管超长的，径口75毫米的反坦克炮。
