（单词翻译）

 Tyrannosaurus Rex was of ten thousand pound, self-propelled, antitank weapon. 

 
Now, sixty five million years later, cutting-edge imaging technology lets us look deep inside their bodies to reveal just how the world’s greatest carnivores really work. Dinosaurs1 arm themselves with the most advanced weaponry nature has ever unleashed2, tools that allow them to survive for over 100 million years. 
 
North America, 115 million years ago, reptilian3 creatures have evolved into killing4 machines. Death is everywhere, sweeping5 down from the air, stalking the forest, and sometimes thundering through the trees in the form of Tyrannosaurus Rex. 
 
T-Rex was the ultimate predator6 in the history of terrestrial animals. 
 
T-Rex is one of the largest and deadliest animals ever to walk on two legs. For 2 million years, it rules the American West. Powerful and intelligent, this predator is equipped with the tools to bring down massive and well-armed prey7. 
 
The head, the skull8 of T-Rex is awesomely9 large. 
 
And each tooth is an armor-crushing weapon.
 
Tyrannosaurus Rex means tyrant10 lizard11 king. This alfa predator is 12 meters long, 5.5 meters tall and weighs 6 tons.
