随着古生物热潮在英国盛行，有个名叫玛丽•安宁的杰出小女孩开始了她不平凡的一生，10多岁发现海洋生物化石。在之后的35年里，安宁采集化石，并把它们卖给游客。安宁不仅善于发现化石--显然她在这方面是无与伦比的--而且能小心翼翼地、完好无损地把化石挖出来。安宁没有受过训练，但她也能为学者们提供像模像样的图片和说明。不过她一生都很贫困~~~

It was the start of a remarkable career. Anning would spend the next 35 years gathering fossils, which she sold to visitors.

Though none of these was [---4---] a dinosaur, that wasn’t terribly relevant at the time since nobody then knew what a dinosaur was.

It wasn’t simply that Anning was good at spotting fossils—though she was unrivalled at that—but that she could extract them with the greatest delicacy and without damage. If you ever have the chance to visit the hall of ancient marine reptiles at the Natural History Museum in London, [---5---] The plesiosaur alone took her ten years of patient excavation. Although untrained, Anning was also able to provide [-6-] drawings and descriptions for scholars. But even with the advantage of her skills, significant finds were rare and [-7-].
