本句為倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)，句中的Lyingunderwatersacrosstheglobe放在句首表示強調(diào)。2.AmongtheseistheEsmeralda,theearliestwreckfromtheageoftheEuropeanexplorationofAsia.其中就包括了“埃斯梅拉達”號，它是歐洲國家探索亞洲時代留下的最早殘骸。。

本句使用了全倒裝句式。Esmeralda為主句，theearliestwreckfromtheageoftheEuropeanexplorationofAsia作主語的同位語。3.Today,some500yearsaftertheEsmeralda

setsail,thereislittle-ifany-landonourplanetleftunexplored.如今，距離“埃斯梅拉達”號起航已有500多年，我們星球上尚未被人類探索的土地已經(jīng)少之又少了。(1)setsail起航e.g.Thewindwastoostrongfortheshiptosetsailontime.風太大，船無法準時起航。(2)本句中ifany為一種省略形式，補充完整是ifthereisany表示“如果有的話”。某些句式經(jīng)過長期發(fā)展已成為固定搭配：

ifpossible如果可能的話

ifonly

要是……就好了

ifever如果有過的話

ifnot

如果不的話

Whatif...?如果……怎么辦？

Whynot?

為什么不呢？

Whatfor?為什么？

when/wherenecessary必要的時候/地方4.WehavemoredetailedmapsoftheMoon,andevenofVenusandMars,thanwedoofEarth'sownseabed.然而，我們手中關(guān)于地球自身海底的地圖，甚至比不上關(guān)于月球乃至金星、火星的天體圖詳盡。

本句中than引導比較狀語從句，其中do代替實意動詞have，從而以避免和主句的謂語動詞have重復。5.Givenourlimitedknowledge,itisperhapsnosurprisethatexplorationoftheoceanscontinuestoleadtodiscoveriesinvariousscientificfields.

基于我們有限的認知，探索海洋可以帶來許多科學領(lǐng)域的新發(fā)現(xiàn)，這也許就顯得不足為奇了。(1)本句中的Given表示“考慮到”的意思。

(2)it為形式主語，真正的主語為thatexplorationoftheoceanscontinuestoleadtodiscoveriesinvariousscientificfields。為了避免句子頭重腳輕，故用it作形式主語，這種用法在英語中很常見。6.Inthesewaters,morethan200metresdeep,wherelightcannotreach,areextraordinarycreaturesthatappearasiftheyarestraightoutofsciencefiction.在200多米以下、陽光照不到的深水水域里，住著一些看起來就像是剛從科幻小說中走出來的奇異的生物。

本句為一個復合句，其中包含了兩個定語從句，分別是：非限制性定語從句wherelightcannotreach，修飾先行詞waters；限制性定語從句thatappearasiftheyarestraight

outofsciencefiction，修飾先行詞creatures，asif引導了表語從句。7.Swimmingthroughtheseblackdepthsisthebarreleye,astrangefishwitheyesthatcanlookupwardsthroughitstransparentforehead.

漆黑的深海里管眼魚游來游去，這是種奇特的魚，其眼睛可以透過透明的前額向上看。

分詞短語引導完全倒裝句；that引導定語從句。8.Intheverydeepestoceantrenchesthataremorethan8,000metresbelowthesurface,thepressureisequivalentto50aeroplanesstackedoneontopofanother.

在海平面以下8,000多米處最深的海溝里，壓強相當于50架飛機堆疊在一起。

(1)that引導定語從句；

(2)equivalentadj.相等的，相同的

n.相等的東西；等量；對應(yīng)詞beequivalentto等于……；相當于……（to是介詞）e.g.Eightkilometresisroughlyequivalenttofivemiles.八公里約等于五英里。

(3)stackv.（使）放成整齊的一疊（或一摞、一堆）

n.一疊，一摞，一堆e.g.Theywerebusystackingtheshelveswithgoods.他們正忙著擺貨物上架呢。I’vegotstacksofworktodo.

我有一大堆活兒要做。9.TheJiaolongevenholdstherecordforthedeepestdivebyamannedsubmarin
