72. Other theorists propose that the Moon was ripped out of the Earth s rocky mantle by the Earth s collision with another large celestial body after much of the Earth s iron fell to its core. 其他的理论家提出,在地球的大部分铁沉入到地核之后,由于地球与另一个庞大的天体发生碰撞,月亮便从地球那石质的地幔中撕裂开来而形成的。 Rip:撕开;拨去;在本文是撕开的意思。
难句类型:复杂修饰
解释:这个句子虽然还算短,但结构并不简单,句中共有三介词结构作状语。结构的复杂在本句中给读者带来了真正的阅读困难:月亮、地球、大型天体之间的关系如何?三个事件之间的先后顺序怎样?另外的一个难点在于,在the Moon was ripped out of the Earth s rocky mantle这段话中,be ripped out of something可以作两种解释。Rip既有撕开的意思,又有剥去的意思,而此处的be ripped out of something很被读者理解成被剥夺走某物的意思。实际上,根据对上下文的理解,这里应该理解成从某物中撕裂出来的意思。
