I'm immensely honored to be awarded this year's L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Award.
非常荣幸能够被授予今年的欧莱雅·联合国教科文组织“世界杰出女科学家奖”。
Compared with the laureates from the past years and this year, many worthy candidates, I'm truly... humbled, I should say, to receive this award with deep appreciation and gratitude.
可以说，入围的候选人，他们都有资格获得这一奖项。因此，今天我能获此殊荣，我倍感惶恐，也深表感谢。
On this occasion, it is impossible for me not to reflect on my career in vertebrate paleontology.
在这个特殊的场合，如果不跟大家讲讲我的古脊椎动物研究生涯，那是说不过去的。
I started to study paleontology some 60 years ago when I was a student in Lomonosov Moscow State University.
我的研究生涯开始于大概60年前，那时我还只是一名在莫斯科国立罗蒙诺索夫大学读书的留学生。
But at that time, my choice of career was even not my own. It was arranged, much as an arranged marriage. We even have a saying in Chinese "to get married first, then have courtship”. In Chinese we say “先结婚，后恋爱”, some of you I think understand Chinese.
And I also want to thank my family for their support over the years, especially my daughter. For leaving her to her grandmother when she was only one month old, when she came back to me, she was ten. And she never complained.
