But even working out exactly what an adult Trex would have looked like only gives you a snapshot of a moment in time.
但是即使我们弄清了成年龙到底长什么样，也只是那个时刻的快照。

To really understand this animal, we need to know how it changed over the course of its entire life.
要想真正了解恐龙，我们需要知道它一生是如何变化的。

And that's why Luis's team are attempting the first ever reconstruction of a baby Trex.
这也是路易斯团队想要开创先例，重建宝贝龙的完整骨骼的原因。

But some of them are so small that we can't match anything up. Nothing like this has ever been found before.
有些地方太细小以致于我们不知道怎么组合起来。这些都是过去未曾见过的骨块。

Paul's colleague Tommy is trying to piece together the remains from a little more than dinosaur dust.
保罗的同事汤米试图拼凑剩下的几乎已是尘埃的细小碎片。

And a lot of times I would look at the edge of the bone. You see, this one has a little white and a little black.
很多时候我都会观察骨骼的边缘。你看，这块上有点白色和黑色的部分。

Although useful for scientists, these fossil remains are far too limited to bring a baby Trex to life for an audience.
尽管对科学家有用，这些化石还是难以让观众明白宝贝龙的构造。

And that's why the entire baby skeleton will be a model, its bones made not from fossils,
这就是为什么整个宝贝龙的骨骼是一个模型，它的骨骼不是来自骨骼，

Ultimately the animal that they draw or sculpt will be a blend of science and art.
最终他们描绘或者雕刻的恐龙是科学和艺术的结合品。
