    Reptiles’ Rule!
     The remnant would not disappear. They hid underground, in the grasses, behind rocks and along the oceans. While there was only a small remainder and repression was constant, they all agreed that there would some day be a reprisal that would cause them to be more renowned than ever before. And they would relish that day when they were no longer seen as relics from the distant past. For reptiles were watching, and though there was a renaissance of interest in their ancestors, the dinosaurs, there would be repercussions where no remorse or mercy would be shown towards humans. The reptiles would someday rule the earth again!
     Over the years the reptiles’ repertoire of defenses against humans had grown. They could repel people with sounds and movements that created fear in humans that was reminiscent of the dinosaurs they all seemed to love.
     But the advancement of human culture was relentless and the day for repaying humans for taking over the world seemed further and further away. Some reptiles had even come to a certain reliance on humans. But other reptiles reproached these and told them that one day they would have to renounce the people they called their owners.
     So they all waited and looked forward to the day when they would renovate the world for reptiles again. And when the reptiles were big strong enough no other species would be able to repeal their rule! The dinosaur age would come again!
    爬行動(dòng)物的統(tǒng)治
     殘留部分就是不消失。他們藏在地下、藏在草叢里、藏在巖石后面并且沿海也有。盡管剩下的數(shù)量很少,而且鎮(zhèn)壓不斷,他們都認(rèn)為總有一天會(huì)出現(xiàn)報(bào)復(fù)行為,而這種報(bào)復(fù)將使他們比以往任何時(shí)候都更有名氣,而且他們將從這一天獲得樂趣,因?yàn)榈侥菚r(shí)他們將不再被看成是遙遠(yuǎn)過去的遺跡。由于爬行動(dòng)物在觀看,盡管人們再次對他們的祖先恐龍產(chǎn)生了興趣,但是將來總會(huì)出現(xiàn)人類既不表示痛恨、也不表示憐憫的后果,終將有一天爬行動(dòng)物將重新統(tǒng)治地球!
     多年來,爬行動(dòng)物對人類的全部防衛(wèi)能力已經(jīng)增加,他們能用使人類害怕的聲音和動(dòng)作讓他們感到厭惡,這種害怕會(huì)使他們想起他們似乎都很喜愛的恐龍。
    但是人類文化的向前發(fā)展是毫不留情的,報(bào)復(fù)人類接管世界的那一天似乎越來越遙遠(yuǎn)。有些爬行動(dòng)物甚至對人類形成了某種依賴,但是其他爬行動(dòng)物卻批評并告訴他們說,有朝一日他們將不得不拋棄他們稱之為主人的人。
     因此他們都等待著盼望著這一天,到那時(shí)他們將再次為爬行動(dòng)物修復(fù)整個(gè)世界。等到爬行動(dòng)物長得夠壯夠大時(shí),其他物種都將無法廢止他們的統(tǒng)治!恐龍時(shí)代將再次來臨!
