Tiny T. rex relative identified
雷克斯暴龙的近亲确认

History's most frightening dinosaur, the Tyrannosaurus rex, came from a long line of pipsqueaks.

历史上最可怕的恐龙,霸王龙,来自一长串的排列不规则的恐龙。

Scientists have identified a new cousin of the T. rex as a dinosaur that only reached the three-foot height of a toddler. If it stretched its duck-billed head, an adult human maybe "would be looking at it in the eye," said Sterling Nesbitt, a paleontologist at Virginia Tech, who discovered the dinosaur.

科学家已经确定霸王龙的一个新近亲为恐龙,这种恐龙只有蹒跚学步时的三英尺高。发现这种恐龙的弗吉尼亚理工大学古生物学家斯特林·内斯比特(Sterling Nesbitt)说,如果它伸展了鸭嘴龙的头部,一个成年人可能"会直视它的眼睛"。

Nesbitt found a set of its bones in 1998 when he was 16, while serving as a volunteer on a dig in New Mexico with a famed paleontologist. But for about two decades, scientists weren't certain what it was, until other small cousins of T. rex were discovered.

1998年,16岁的内斯比特在新墨西哥州与一位著名的古生物学家一起担任志愿者时,发现了它的一组骨骼。但在大约二十年的时间里,科学家们一直不能确定它是什么,直到其他霸王龙的小表亲被发现。

Abe sticks to constitutional revision by 2020 amid opposition
安倍在反对声中坚持到2020年修宪

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe marked Constitution Day on May 3 by reiterating his oft-stated intention to revise pacifist Article 9 of the Constitution that stipulates Japan cannot possess military forces.

日本首相安倍晋三(Shinzo Abe)在5月3日纪念宪法日时重申,他再三表示打算修改宪法第9条,该条规定日本不得拥有军事力量。

“By writing the Self-Defense Forces clearly into the Constitution, I will put an end to an argument on the SDF's legality,” Abe said in a video message to a gathering in Tokyo that supports constitutional revision.

"通过将自卫队明确写入宪法,我将结束有关自卫队合法性的争论,"安倍晋三在东京的一个支持修宪的集会上发布的视频信息中说。

Abe also said his goal of effecting constitutional change in 2020 remains unchanged in spite of the fact that Diet deliberations on this issue remain stalled due to differences between the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and the opposition camp.

安倍晋三还表示,他在2020年实现宪法改革的目标没有改变,尽管由于执政的自民党(Liberal Democratic Party)和反对党阵营之间的分歧,国会对这个问题的讨论仍然停滞不前。
