关于宇宙起源的科学发现
——1998年英译汉及详解
They were, by far, the largest and most distant objects that scientists had ever detected: a strip of enormous cosmic clouds some 15 billion light years from earth.【F1】
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.
That was just about the moment that the universe was born. What the researchers found was at once both amazing and expected; the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Cosmic Background Explorer satellite—Cobe—had discovered landmark evidence that the universe did in fact begin with the primeval explosion that has become known as the Big Bang(the theory that the universe originated in an explosion from a single mass of energy).
【F2】
The existence of the giant clouds was virtually required for the Big Bang, first put forward in the 1920s, to maintain its reign as the dominant explanation of the cosmos.
According to the theory, the universe burst into being as a submicroscopic, unimaginable dense knot of pure energy that flew outward in all directions, emitting radiation as it went, condensing into particles and then into atoms of gas. Over billions of years, the gas was compressed by gravity into galaxies, stars, plants and eventually, even humans.
Cobe is designed to see just the biggest structures, but astronomers would like to see much smaller hot spots as well, the seeds of local objects like clusters and superclusters of galaxies. They shouldn’t have long to wait.【F3】
Astrophysicists working with ground based detectors at the South Pole and balloon borne instruments are closing in on such structures, and may report their findings soon.
【F4】
If the small hot spots look as expected, that will be a triumph for yet another scientific idea, a refinement of the Big Bang called the inflationary universe theory.
Inflation says that very early on, the universe expanded in size by more than a trillion trillion trillion trillion fold in much less than a second, propelled by a sort of antigravity.【F5】
Odd though it sounds, cosmic inflation is a scientifically plausible consequence of some respected ideas in elementary particle physics, and many astrophysicists have been convinced for the better part of a decade that it is true.
【F2】
选项
答案
巨大的宇宙云的存在,实际上是20世纪20年代首创的大爆炸论得以保持其宇宙起源论的主导地位所不可缺少的。
解析
本句考查的重点是:被动语态和不定式作状语。 该句为简单句,其主干是The existence…was required for…to maintain…。该句是一个被动句,如果译成“被要求的”,则与汉语习惯不符,因此可以意译为“是不可缺少的”。for…to(do)…是不定式的复合结构,基本译法是“对于…做…(怎么样)”;不定式to maintain…cosmos做目的状语;first putforward…是过去分词作the Big Bang的修饰语,插在了不定式结构中,该修饰语不长,翻译时可以做前置定语。Big Bang此处含义可以参考前文的解释(the theory that…),从而译成“大爆炸论”。
