I believe I have an answer.

我相信我有个答案

Now you see,asteroid impacts are serious business,When I was in second grade Ms.McGonigal told us that the dinosaurs the ancient dinosaurs died out because they had small brains may be like my old boss.

你也知道行星撞地球可不是件小事,当我上二年级时McGonigal女士告诉我们说,恐龙古代的恐龙之所以灭绝,是因为他们的大脑太小，就像我的老上司一样

But even she knew that was kinda lame ,that theory was nothing. It turns out in my lifetime pelple found this crater,off Chicxulub,Mexico，This crater was so big. How big was it? It was so big that an asteroid hit the earth (or impactors hit the earth),Threw so much stuff into the Earth's sky it was bigger in diamete than the earth itself so the earth was surrounded by red hot rock weeks at a time.

但也也知道这说法站不住脚，这个理论什么也不是,结果在我在世时，人们在墨西哥希克苏鲁发现了这个陨石坑。陨石坑特别大，有多大呢？它是如此地大，当小行星击中地球（或物体击中地球）.它将极多东西抛向地球空中，形成碎石圈直径比地球更大，因面地球在

数周内都将被炽热的红色岩石包围着。

It cooked everything .And just the animals that lived in burrows and caves. our ancestors lead to us so serious business you may recall Valentine's Day 2013?

它烤熟了一切，除了那些住在洞穴和山洞里的动物,比如说我们的祖先，还记得2013年情人节那件事吗？

Chelyabinsk Russia (boorn) air burst. See it you are an asteroid ,and you are going 10 km/s or 20 km/s. And you hit the Earth's atmosphere,the atmosphere is like concrete. you can't get out of the way so the asteroid just explodes in air burst.So these asteroids are serious ,most of them are evey small.

俄罗斯车里雅宾斯克上空的爆炸,看到了吗，如果你是个小行星以10km/s 或20km/s 的速度前进，你碰上地球的大气，大气就像水泥一样，你躲不过去，所以小行星只能在半空中爆炸.因此这些小行星得严肃对待，它们绝大多数都很小.

If you're under 10 meters in diameter you hit the Earth's

atmosphere.you burn up all Big Blue streak,green street white streak and then humans make wishes upon you （I don't know how efficacious these wishes are but people do that）.

如果你的直径小于10米，在击中地球大气层后，你就会烧毁，形成蓝色大条纹、绿色条纹和白色条纹之后蓝星人会对着你许愿，我不知道这么许愿有没有用，但是人们就这么干.

Alright,so,if their asteroid starts to get bigger,Starts to get into the 25 meters and the 45 meters in diameter.then you get Meteor Crater Arizona (wham)huge thing.That would be like a city killer,or a county killer.And then when they get to be a 100 meters /140 meters now you're into a country killer.and then they get bigger than that and it's a continent killer.much bigger than that and you're taking out whole races of ancient species.

好的那么如果行星再大一点呢，直径开始变成25米到45米的了,那么结果就是巴林杰陨石坑那样的大家伙，这就像是一个屠城者或者一个毁郡者之后，当直径到达100/140米之后，你就会变成一个灭国者,当直径继续增大，你就成了洲际杀手，比前面的大多了，所有古代物种都会因你而断子绝孙。
