To demonstrate his intentions, the male would havebegun to perform a courtship dance.

为了说明自己的意图雄性会开始表演一种求偶舞蹈。

CAT scan evidence shows that the brain ofMajungasaurus was incredibly small and thereforeprimitive,

CT扫描证据表明玛君龙的大脑相当小,

leading paleontologists to speculate that this dancewould have been very simple.

因此也很原始这让古生物学家们猜测这种舞蹈应该非常简单。

Certainly, given the brain size of something likeMajungasaurus which has a relatively primitive brain,

当然要是像玛君龙那样只有比较原始的大脑,

we would expect them to have the kinds of primitive, very ritualized,

我们估计它们的求偶仪式会是很原始、很模式化,

courtship rituals that we see in lizards and crocodiles today,

就像现代的蜥蜴和鳄鱼一样,

very stereotype, rigid kinds of courtship behaviors.

求偶行为非常模式化,比较固定。

In this theory, although the male tried his best, the female was not receptive.

不过这一次尽管雄性使尽浑身解数,雌性就是不为所动。

Ripped from the continent of Gondwanaland by the violent upheavals of the Earth tectonicplates, the island of Madagascar was born.

由于地球猛烈的板块运动,一块陆地被从冈瓦纳大陆上撕下,马达加斯加岛自此诞生。

这个岛屿被海洋包围,迅速地变成了繁茂的绿色伊甸园。

As evolution forged ahead, an extraordinary inhabitant emerged: Majungasaurus.

在进化的作用下一种非同寻常的居民出现了:玛君龙。

In these jungles, a colossal battle of sexes appeared to have taken place.

在这些丛林里一场性别大战一触即发。

To help to piece together a viable scenario, paleontologists have gathered as much informationabout the competitors as possible.

为了能够拼出可能的情景,古生物学家们在尽量多地收集其竞争者的信息。

The skeletal design of Majungasaurus shows that these were very powerful animals.

玛君龙的骨骼设计表明它们是非常有力的动物。

But there may have been a difference in size and strength between male and female.

不过它们的雌性和雄性之间也有大小和力量的差别。

We do see some differences between the different specimens that we find in Majungasaurus.

我们的确在不同的玛君龙标本中看到了一些的差异。

It's hard for us to know whether there were just differences between different individuals ordifferences that we can associate to differences in sex.

我们很难确认这仅仅是不同个体之间的差异还是我们提到的性别差异。

Both of these animal are probably fairly comparable in terms of their general size and strengthand general capabilities.

这种动物的雄性和雌性大小、力量和一般能力相当。
