The thread-like fibers we see — thinner than a human hair — are the remains of those dense, dried out walls of cellulose.

看到丝状纤维（比人类毛发还要细）那些紧实干燥纤维素壁（原细胞壁）残留物。

The top picture shows similar filaments discovered by Dr McKellar and his team, suggesting flightless dinosaurs sporting such protofeathers were still around in the late Cretaceous.

上图所示为麦凯乐博士及其研究小组发现类似丝状羽毛，表明长有这些原生羽毛“非鸟”恐龙在白垩纪后期仍然存活着。

Because the substance is composed of mucus and reinforced with numerous superfine and strong silk-like fibers, the slime is incredibly soft yet tough.

这因为该物质由黏液组成，并以无数超细和强有力丝状纤维加固，因此这种黏液非常柔软，但又非常坚韧。

But fossils from China suggest the precursors of feathers-simple, filament-like structures possibly used for insulation-evolved in land-lubbing dinosaurs and were only later adapted for flight.

中国出土化石表明羽毛前身呈简易丝状结构，可能具有隔离热量功用，这些简易丝状羽毛在陆地恐龙身上不断进化，直至后来才具备了飞行功能。

The precursors of bird feathers were straight, dense, filament-like structures, which were mostly made of keratin, the same stuff your hair and fingernails are made of.

鸟类羽毛前身竖直、密集丝状结构，主要由角蛋白构成，与构成你头发和指甲东西同样物质。

Some of the only parts of the body whose motions aren't governed by the muscular system are sperm cells, the hair-like cilia in our airways, and certain white blood cells.

They're in this in between area. So if you cut them for example and you pull them apart, you might see like these stringy pieces, or like almost like liquid, these weird like almost like fibers.

介于固体和液体之间。如果你把它切开，然后把它拉开，你可能会看到像丝状碎片，或者几乎像液体一样，奇怪几乎像纤维东西。

But since dinosaurs in different times and places had a variety of protofeather types, paleontologists are able to piece together how feathers went from basic filament structures, to ones that allowed flight.

但由于不同时代和地点恐龙有多种原始羽毛类型，古生物学家能够拼凑出羽毛如何从基本丝状结构发展为可以飞行结构。
