1.The salvage operation had been a complete failure.
打撈工作徹底失敗了。
語言點:a complete failure的意思是“徹底的失敗”。
2.The small ship, Elkor, which had been searching the Barents Sea for weeks, was on its way home.
小船“埃爾科”號在巴倫支海搜尋了幾個星期之后,正在返航途中。
語言點:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:Elkor是ship的同位語,起解釋說明ship的作用。Which引導非限制性定語從句,修飾ship。
3.A radio message from the mainland had been received by the ship's captain conducting him to give up the search.
返航前,該船船長收到了大陸發(fā)來的電報,指示他們放棄這次搜尋。
語言點:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:from the main land是介詞短語,作后置定語,修飾radio message,即“從…發(fā)來的電報”。
