2018屠屠考研英語長難句 一日一句(59)

每日一句：

59. In its 16 years of operation it has found the first convincing evidence for the existence of black holes, made observations supporting the theory that the universe’s expansion is accelerating and confirmed that dark matter exists.

【分析】

 句首In its 16 years of operation作時間狀語，以and爲切入點，得到主句it has found…, made…and confirmed…其中made後的賓語中，包含現在分詞結構supporting the theory…作後置定語，修飾observations，而其中that引導同位語從句that the universe’s expansion is accelerating解釋說明theory的內容；而confirmed後的賓語由that引導的名詞性從句that dark matter exists充當。

【詞彙】

 convincing evidence令人信服的證據

accelerate加速

confirm確認

【參考譯文】 在它運行的16年中，首次發現了關於黑洞的令人信服的證據，很多觀測都支持宇宙加速膨脹的理論並確認暗物質的存在。
