A direct hit from a tail could end that guy's life.

如果直接被腱龙的尾巴扫到可能会毙命。

His hand claws and foot claws can be broken pretty easily in combat, so even though he's got these wicked weapons he's still got to be cautious about how he uses them.

One of the favorite attack methods of the Raptors is what we call the slash³ and dash.

迅猛龙最爱用的攻击方式就是打了就跑。

You rush in, you slash them with your hand claws and you hope that you inflict⁴ a series of injuries and then you dash to safety.

冲上去，猛抓希望能用前爪形成一系列创伤，然后再急速跑到安全区。

You allow your prey⁵ to slowly bleed to death.

The problem is because of the thickness of Tenontosaurus hide, that attack doesn't do much damage.

问题是腱龙的皮很厚，攻击没造成什么伤害。

At the end of the day you've got a bent⁷ fork and a pissed off Rhinoceros.

最后只会把叉子弄弯并把犀牛惹恼。

The Raptors quickly review their methods and increase their menace.

迅猛龙迅速调整攻击方法，提升了威胁强度。

They take the claws from the hands and dig them into that deep hide and hang on.

它们用爪子深深地刺进腱龙身体并且挂在上面。

Raising their foot curling down their two toes, that brings there killing⁸ claws forward and they begin to slice and cut the Tenontosaurus.

抬起脚，把两个脚趾向下弯曲促使猎杀爪向前弯曲并开始切割并撕扯腱龙的肉。

The Raptor strikes hard with its lethal⁹ killing claw.

迅猛龙用致命的利爪疯狂进攻。

The Tenontosaurus launches an unexpected counter-attack.

Once the Deinonychus land on his back the Tenontosaurus is going to roll over using his weight to crush them.

当恐爪龙跳上腱龙背部时腱龙立刻开始滚动用身体压碎了它们。

It would be like being run over by a one ton truck.

这就像被一吨重的卡车辗过一样。

The bones would snap and break like pencils.

其骨头就像铅笔一样断裂。

Two more Raptors now lie dead while the wounded Tenontosaurus is still standing¹⁰.

又有两头迅猛龙阵亡了，而受伤的腱龙还站在那里。

The Tenontosaurus is able to repel¹¹ assault after assault.

腱龙有能力抵抗一波波的攻击。

Slash and dash didn't work, this full confrontation¹² is not working.

打了就跑无效，正面攻击也未奏效。

2,000 pounds of Tenontosaurus against 150 pound Raptor is not an even fight.

And he crushes them.

腱龙会压碎它们。

The Raptors are forced to retreat.
