Brazilian scientists last Wednesday announced the discovery of the largest dinosaurs ever found in the country, an animal that was 25 meters long.
一队巴西科学家于上周三宣布，他们发现了巴西国内最大的恐龙化石，该恐龙身长25米。The dinosaur, named "Austroposeidon magnificus," belonged to the group of titanosaurs, which were herbivorous dinosaurs with a well-developed body, a long neck and tail and a relatively small skull, according to scientists at Rio de Janeiro's Earth Sciences Museum.
根据科学家在里约热内卢的地球博物馆宣布的消息，这种恐龙名为"Austroposeidon magnificus"，属泰坦巨龙属，是食草性恐龙，体型较大，颈部和尾部较长，头颅小。
It is believed that these dinosaurs lived during the Cretaceous Period (145-66 million years ago) in regions that are currently part of South America, Africa, Antarctica and Oceania.
据说这些恐龙生活在白垩纪（约1.45亿-6600万年前），地点为目前的南美，非洲，南极洲和大洋洲的部分地区。
Fossilized vertebrae of the dinosaur was found in the 1950s by Brazilian paleontologist Llewellyn Ivor Price, who died in 1980 without being acknowledged for this discovery.
恐龙化石的脊椎骨是由巴西古生物学家卢埃林·艾弗·普莱斯在20世纪50年代发现的，他于1980年去世，而当时他的这一发现并没有被认可。Since then, the fossil had been analyzed and studied until the discovery was finally announced last Wednesday.
此后，人们对化石进行了分析和研究，直到上周三这个发现才最终得到公布。
