1·Only one in ten species survived, and these formed the basis for the recovery of life in the subsequent time period, called the Triassic.
只有十分之一的生物物种存活下来，而这些生物在随后的时间里成为了生命重生的基础，这就是所谓的三叠纪时期。
2·About halfway through that period, known as the Triassic, an asteroid struck Earth.
在那段时期的中间，也就是三叠纪时期，一颗小行星撞击了地球。
3·The reds, ochres and pinks hail from the much slower deposition during the Triassic's dryer periods, when erosion and oxidation had time to work their magic.
红、赭、粉等颜色来自三叠纪干燥期缓慢形成的沉积物，在足够长的时间里，侵蚀与氧化作用创造出这种奇迹。
4·The fossils show that the bottom of the food chain was dominated by species typical of later Triassic Marine faunas - such as crustaceans, fishes and bivalves - and different from preceding ones.
这些化石揭示了生物链的底层被三叠纪后期海洋生物群典型物种所掌控，这不同于之前的世纪里的动物。
5·Until now, the end of the Triassic has been blamed on massive volcanic eruptions that went on for 600,000 years.
直到现在，人们都一直将三叠纪的终结归因于持续了60万年的大规模火山喷发。
