【昨日回顾】

Inflation says that very early on, the universe expanded in size by more than a trillion trillion trillion trillionfold in much less than a second, propelled by a sort of antigravity.

膨胀说认为,很久以前,在一种反引力的驱动下,宇宙的体积在不到一秒钟内膨胀了无数倍。

【今日长难句】

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.

【结构解析】

1. Odd though it sounds 为though引导的让步状语从句,形式上为倒装形式;正常形式为:Though it sounds odd, 译为:宇宙膨胀说虽然听似奇特。其中it指后面的cosmic inflation (宇宙膨胀说)。

2. 句子主干为“and”连接的并列结构,前半句主干为cosmic inflation/ is /a scientifically plausible consequence of some respected ideas; 介词短语in elementary particle physics充当状语。

3. 后半部分主干为many astrophysicists have been convinced that it is true;介词短语for the better part of a decade 充当时间状语。

【词的处理】

Odd / ɔd / adj. 奇怪的

plausible / ˈplɔ:zəbl / adj. 有道理的,可信的

consequence  / ˈkɔnsikwəns / n. 后果,结果

respected ideas 公认理论,权威理论

elementary / ˌeliˈmentri / adj. 初级的,基本的

astrophysicist / ˌæstrəuˈfizisist / n. 天体物理学家

for the better part of a decade 在近十年中的(大部分)时间

【参考译文】

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.

宇宙膨胀说虽然听似奇特,但是它是基本粒子物理学中一些公认的理论产生的在科学上看来似乎可信的结论。许多天体物理学家近十年中大部分时间都确信这一论说是正确的。

【明日长难句:新的一篇文章1997年考研翻译真题】

Do animals have rights? This is how the question is usually put. It sounds like a useful, ground-clearing way to start.

(这句看着简单,翻译一下试试?)
