2021年考研英语英译汉翻译真题附答案和解析

They were by far，the largest and most distant objects that

scientists had ever detected:a strip of enormous cosmic clouds

some 15 billion lightyears from earth.

（71）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 yeays was just about the moment that the

universe was the researchers found was at once both

amazing and expected:the US National Aeronautics and Space

Administrations 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）.

（72）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

ing to the theory，the universe burst into being

as a submicroscopic，unimaginably dense knot of pure energy that

flew outward in all directions，emitting radiation as it went，condensing into particles and then into atoms of

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

shouldnt have long to wait.（73）Astrophysicists

working with groundbased detectors at the South Pole and

balloonborne instruments are closing in on such structures，and may report their findings soon.

（74）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 ion

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.（75）Odd though

it sounds，cosmic inflation is a scientifically plausible

consequence of some respected ideas in elementaryparticle

physics，and many astrophysicists have been convinced for the

better part of a decade that it is true.

解析：

71) But even more important, it was the farthest that

scientists had been able to looksintosthe past, for what they

were seeing were the patterns and structures that existed 15

billion years ago.

句子分析：

第一、句子可以拆分为三段：But even more important, it was

the farthest that scientists had been able to looksintosthe

past, / for what they were seeing were the patterns and

structures / that existed 15 billion years ago.

第二、句子主干结构是：主句+ for +原因状语从句。

1)主句是强调句 被强调部分the farthest是后面句子的状语，可以理解为scientists had been able to look

the farthestsintosthe past

2) 引导的原因状语从句是一个系表结构，what they were

seeing是从句中的主语，是名词表语the patterns and

structures的定语从句。

第三、词的处理：

even more important (省略)更为重要的是

the patterns and structures (宇宙云的)形状和结构

15 billion years ago 150亿年前

was virtually required for the Big Bang, / first put forward

in the 1920s, / to maintain its reign as the dominant

explanation of the cosmos.

第二、句子的主干结构是一个简单句。

1)整体结构是： was virtually required

, 2)first put forward in the 1920s是过去分词短语作插入语，说明前面的名词the Big Bang

3)后面的不定式短语是补语。

第三、词的处理：

the giant clouds 巨大的(宇宙)云

virtually 事实上，实际上，实质上

the Big Bang 大爆炸理论

first put forward 首创的，开始提出的

in the 1920s 二十年代

the South Pole and balloon-borne instruments are closing in on

such structures, and may report their findings soon.

句子分析：

第一、句子可以拆分为三段：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.

第二、句子主干结构是：

1)主语+并列谓语and may

2)分词短语working with ground-based detectors at the

South Pole and balloon-borne instruments是主语的定语。

第三、词的处理：

working with 使用，以……为工作手段

句子分析：

第一、句子可以拆分为三段：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.

第二、句子的结构：

1)主干结构是“If引导的条件句，主句”。

2)look as expected是look as they are expected的省略，意思是“看上去和预想的一样”。

3)another scientific idea和后面的短语a refinement of the

Big Bang是同位语关系。

4)过去分词短语called the inflationary universe theory作定语，修饰the Big Bang.

宇宙膨胀说虽然听似奇特，但它是基本粒子物理学中一些公认的理论在科学上看来可信的推论。许多天体物理学家七八年来一直认为这一论说是正确的。

离地球大约150亿光年的一块狭长的巨大宇宙云系是科学家在此以前所发现的最大、最遥远的物体。（71）但更为重要的是，这是科学家所能观测到的最遥远的过去的景象，因为他们看到的是150亿年前宇宙云的形状和结构。那大约就是宇宙形成的时候。研究人员发现的宇宙云既令人惊讶，又是人们所期待的，因为美国国家航空航天局的宇宙背景探测者Cobe号卫星已经发现了划时代的证据，证明宇宙确实起源于最早的一次爆炸，即人们一直所称的“大爆炸”（此理第 8 页

论认为宇宙起源于一大块能量）。

（72）巨大的宇宙云的存在，实际上是使本世纪二十年代首次提出的大爆炸论是以保持其宇宙起源论的主导地位所必不可少的。根据这一理论，宇宙的形成是由一团亚微观的、极其稠密的纯能量团朝四面八方向外发散，随着放出辐射线，浓缩成粒子，然后形成气体原子。数十亿年来，这种气体受引力的压缩形成星系、恒星、行星，并最终甚至产生人类。

Cobe卫星设计的目的就是观察这些最大的物体结构，但宇航员还想看到更为微小的热点，即像星纱中的星团和超星团这样一些局部物体的粒子。看来他们不必长期等待。（73）天体物理学家使用南极陆基探测器及球工仪器，正越来越近地观测这些云系，也许不久会报告他们的观测结果。

（74）假如这些小热点看上去同预计的一致，那就意味着又一科学论说的胜利，这种论说即更完美的大爆炸论，亦称宇宙膨胀说。膨胀说告诉我们，早在很久以前，宇宙的体积在不到一秒钟内被一种反引力驱动而发生了无数倍的膨胀。（75）宇宙膨胀说虽然听似奇特，但它是基本粒子的物理学中一些公认的理论在科学上看来似乎可信的推论。许多天体物理学家七八年来一直确信这一论说是正确的。
