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.

团队主张这和生活在深海泉水里的细菌有着一时的相似性---在地壳挤压边界的深海中形成高耸的，有雉堞的结构，在这里高温的富含矿物质的水从海床下面喷出。

2.Such a find is doubly intriguing because hydrothermal vents are seen as a plausible candidate for the cradle of life.

这样一个发现越发引人入胜，因为深海热泉似乎是一个合理的孕育生命的地方。

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.

虽然这种被Papineau博士和同事发现的细菌太复杂以至于不能揭示早期生物体的一些生活状况，但是这表明了深海热泉对于长期给早期生物提供养料起到了重要作用，而这也有利证实了这个理论。
