Day 12 神句文档
1. The team contends that these bear more than a passing resemblance to the networks of bacteria that live in hydrothermal vents--towering, crenellated structures that form in the deep ocean above the boundaries between tectonic plates, where superheated mineral-laden water spurts up from beneath the seabed.
研究团队认为这与那些生活在深海热泉的细菌相比，并无相似之处，雉堞型的泉眼在地壳构造板块边缘上部形成，即海底矿物质在过热条件下喷出的地方。
2. Such a find is doubly intriguing because hydrothermal vents are seen as a plausible candidate for the cradle of life.
这一发现无疑激起了人们的兴趣，因为深海热泉可以被看作是生命的发源地。
3. Although the sorts of bacteria apparently found by Dr. Papineau and his colleagues are too complicated to reveal much about the very earliest organisms, the suggestion that hydrothermal vents have played host to life for so long is a strike in the theory’s favor.
虽然帕皮诺博士和他同事发现的菌落，对于研究早起生物来说十分复杂，这意味着深海热泉孕育生命的说法会对之前的理论研究造成一个冲击。
