2. There the trainee mules sit for hours on end wearing weighted smuggling vests beneath their clothes, so that they become accustomed to standing up after a long flight in a natural way, and without revealing what they are carrying.
【结构简析】主从句。主句中分词断语wearing修饰trainee。从句中and连接两组介词短语,后有一宾语从句what they are carrying。这实际上是with +v-ing+object基本句型。
【参考译文】在那里,走私者衣服下穿着装有东西的厚厚的走私背心,连续几个小时坐着,所以他们在长时间飞行后,能习惯于很自然地站起来而不暴露他们身上携带的一切。
3. An outfit in Brussels maintained a comfortable apartment where the mules could relax and get a firm grip on themselves on the night before their first journey; they were helped to dress before setting out for the airport in the morning.
