英语翻译
When Jack Homer is on the job,he lives in a tent．And he hunts from sunup to sundown across the plains of Montana．
\x05"When I'm walking around the field looking for things,I run across snakes and,occasionally,grizzly bears," Homer says．Horner is curator of paleontology （古生物学）at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman,Montana．Or,to put it another way,he is a dinosaur hunter．
\x05Horner finds dinosaurs in the forms of fossilized bones．He uses these bones to help scientists understand how dinosaurs lived when they ruled the earth more than 65 million years ago．
\x05Dinosaur bones are usually buried in rock．
\x05 To locate a good spot to hunt for them．Horner uses a geologic map "I just look up the geologic age in which dinosaurs lived," Horner says．"I look on the map to see where that rock is exposed at the surface of the ground．And then I walk I around in those areas looking for bones．"Later,trained workers go to the "dig" site．They dig out the bones using tools as big as jackhammers and as small as dental picks．Then they take the bones,wrapped in plaster casts for protection,back to the museum．
\x05Horner is so good at finding and interpreting dinosaur bones that he is considered one of the leading paleontologists in the world．In 1978,he discovered the first nest of baby dinosaurs ever found．The nest was the first evidence that Dinosaurs cared for their young．Horner' s discovery put paleontologists into a new area of understanding dinosaur behavior．
\x05Paleontologists got to know how dinosaurs laid their eggs and how they took care of their young．Paleontologists learned all sorts of things that people hadn't even guessed at before．
\x05Horner says some people think his job very romantic and assume that he is a daring adventurer．Actually,the job is mostly hard work．" Getting the stuff out of the ground when it' s snowing or blowing 40 miles an hour can be miserable．Of course,it can get to be 110 degrees with no shade too．" But Horner also admits that he wouldn't be a dinosaur hunter if it were not exciting．

杰克.荷马工作时住在帐篷里.每天在蒙塔纳州的平原上从日出寻找到日落.
"当我在野外寻找时,我碰到过蛇,偶尔还有灰熊",荷马说.他是蒙塔纳州波兹曼的洛基博物馆古生物学馆长.换句话说,他就是一个恐龙搜寻者.
荷马寻找恐龙的化石骨骼,利用这些骨骼帮助科学家更好地理解6500万年前恐龙统治大地时它们是怎么生活的.
恐龙骨通常埋在岩石中
要确定良好的搜寻地点,荷马利用地质地图."我只要查好恐龙生活的地质年代",荷马说,"再从地图上找出哪里那个年代的岩石已经暴露在表面.然后就去那个地区看看,寻找骨头".找到之后,受过训练的员工会来"挖掘"现场.他们用来挖掘的工具可以大到钉锤,小到牙医工具.然后他们取出骨头,包在石膏铸件里加以保护并送回博物馆.
荷马寻找和解读恐龙骨头的技术高超,他现在已是世界数一数二的古生物学家.1978年,他发现了历史上第一个恐龙幼儿巢穴.该巢穴提供了第一份恐龙会养育后代的证据.荷马的发现引导古生物学家进入对恐龙行为理解的全新领域.
古生物学家知道了恐龙怎么产卵,怎么照顾幼崽.他们获得了以前人们猜都猜不到的发现.
荷马说人们认为他的工作很浪漫,是个勇敢的冒险家.实际上,这份工作需要大量辛苦付出."在大雪或是刮着每小时40英里的大风下把东西挖出地面是很惨的,当然,也有气温升到110华氏度而没有遮荫的时候".不过荷马承认如果这项工作不刺激的话他当初就不会成为一个恐龙搜寻者了
