感谢收听,期待你对本期节目的评论留言哦~ ♥海天考研每日作业 But even more important, it was the farthest that scientists had been able to look into the past, for what they were seeing were the patterns and structures that existed 15 billion years ago.   劈树:本句含有五个谓语成份:“was”,“had been”,“were seeing”,“were”,“existed”,所以可以切分为五个分句。   第一分句为:But even more important, it was the farthest ;   第二分句为:that scientists had been able to look into the past;   第三分句为:for what they were seeing;   第四分句为:were the patterns and structures;   第五分句为:that existed 15 billion years ago;     造竹:第一分句是主干;第二分句是“that”引导的定语从句,修饰第一分句中“the farthest”;第三、第四分句是“for”引导的原因状语从句,其中第三分句是原因状语从句当中嵌套的主语从句,由“what”引导;第五分句是由“that”引导的定语从句,修饰第四分句中“patterns and structures” 。   各分句中难词(词组)及在句中的含义:   patterns (形状,样式) structures (结构)   第一分句:But even more important, it was the farthest ;   “even more important”是一种非正式的表达,表示递进,含义为“更为重要的是”;   “it”直接翻译为“这”;   “the farthest”的含义为“最遥远的(景象)”;   第二分句:that scientists had been able to look into the past;   “look into the past”翻译为“观测到过去”;   “it was the farthest that scientists had been able to look into the past”合译为“这是科学家能够观测到的最遥远的过去(景象)”;   第三分句:for what they were seeing;   “what”即是主语从句引导词,同时也是本句的宾语;   “what they were seeing”翻译为“他们正在看到的”;   第四分句:were the patterns and structures;   “patterns and structures”的含义为“形状和结构”,这里根据上文“a strip of enormous cosmic clouds”可以得知“patterns and structures”指的是“patterns and structures (of cosmic clouds)”,所以更加贴切的翻译为“(宇宙云的)形状和结构”;   第五分句:that existed 15 billion years ago;   “that”即作定语从句引导词,代指“patterns and structures”,同时“that”还作本句的主语;   “that existed 15 billion years ago”翻译为“存在于150亿年前的”;   原文回顾:   But even more important, it was the farthest that scientists had been able to look into the past, for what they were seeing were the patterns and structures that existed 15 billion years ago.   第一分句翻译为:但是更为重要的是,这是最遥远的(景象);   第二分句翻译为:科学家能够观测到过去的;   第三分句翻译为:因为他们正在看到的;   第四分句翻译为:是(宇宙云的)形状和结构;   第五分句翻译为:存在于150亿年前的;   全句翻译为:但是更为重要的是,这是科学家能够观测到的最遥远的过去(景象),因为他们正在看到的是存在于150亿年前的(宇宙云的)形状和结构。   句式结构考点:定语从句,原因状语从句中嵌套主语从句;   难度级别:
