神句练习
1. The team contends that these bear more than a passing resemblance to the networks of bacteria that live in hydrothermal vents--towering, crenellated structures that form in the deep ocean above the boundaries between tectonic plates, where superheated mineral-laden water spurts up from beneath the seabed.
帕皮诺教授及其团队认为他们发现的岩石与生活在热液喷口的细菌群落在结构上的相似之处绝非偶然。热液喷口本身是高耸、有雉堞的结构，这些结构形成于地表各构造板块分界出上部深海，是过热的海水从海底喷射出来冷却之后形成。滚烫的海水里还携带着大量矿物质。
2. Such a find is doubly intriguing because hydrothermal vents are seen as a plausible candidate for the cradle of life.
帕皮诺教授的发现更是激发了人们的兴趣因为热液喷口被认为是最有可能的生命起源之地。
3. Although the sorts of bacteria apparently found by Dr. Papineau and his colleagues are too complicated to reveal much about the very earliest organisms, the suggestion that hydrothermal vents have played host to life for so long is a strike in the theory’s favor.
帕皮诺教授团队发现的多种细菌都太过复杂，显然不能准确反映出最早生命形式的特点。但是热液喷口中一直存在着生命，这一可能性可以支持帕皮诺教授的理论。
