As Mr. Mannion says, most such A-list dinosaurs were discovered in North America in the late 19th century or early 20th century and had some of the earliest quality mounted specimens, which quickly gave them a latch on the public imagination. 正如曼尼恩所说,大部分这类重要恐龙都是19世纪末20世纪初在北美发现的,并被做成第一批优质标本架标本,很快俘获公众的想象。
Though China's exploration of its dinosaur past has mostly boomed in the past two decades, Mr. Mannion says it has quickly caught up to North America in terms of numbers of species being discovered. 曼尼恩说,虽然中国对其恐龙化石的勘察主要兴旺于过去20年,但在发现物种数量方面,它已经迅速赶上北美。
