1. For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travellers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface.
【译文】除了早期漂洋过海的旅行者或靠海谋生的人之外,对大多数人来说,大海是遥远的,没有必要提出太多问题,更别说思考大海海底的东西了。
【析句】复合句,本句主干为the sea was remote and there was little reason to...,and连接两个并列句子,两个句子之间又有with the exception of...作伴随状语,伴随状语中又包含who earned a living from the sea定语从句修饰others。最后是习惯let alone...,注意let alone后的动词形式与前面主句动词形式相同。
2. The first time that question What is at the bottom of the oceans? had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed.
【译文】当有人建议铺设一条从欧洲到美洲的海底电报光缆的时候,出于商业动机,人们才不得不首次回答这个问题海底有什么东西。
