Astrophysicists working with ground-based detectors at the South Pole and
balloon-borne instruments are closing in on such structures, and may report their
findings soon. 译文:
天体物理学家们使用南极陆基探测器和球载仪器,他们正越来越近地观测这样的云系,也许不久就会报告他们的观测结果。 点睛:
该句的主干是Astrophysicists...are closing in on such structures, and may
report...。并列的谓语部分是are closing in和may report。现在分词短语working with.
instruments作astrophysicists的后置定语,其中at the South
Pole说明了detectors的位置,soon为report的时间状语。短语close in( on sb.
/sth.)意为“(尤其为了进攻)逼近,靠近(人/ 物)”。 考点归纳:
