今天我們來(lái)看這樣一個(gè)句子:
Scientists felt that they could get an idea of how long the extinctions took by determining how long it took to deposit this one centimeter of clay and they thought they could determine the time it took to deposit the clay by determining the amount of the element iridium (Ir) it contained. (TPO8, 52)

deposit /d?'pɑz?t/ v. 將(錢(qián))存入銀行; 付(定金);放下某物;使(淤泥等)沉積
clay /klei/ n. 粘土
Scientists felt that they could get an idea (of how long the extinctions took) (by determining)(how long it took to deposit this one centimeter of clay) and they thought they could determine the time (it took to deposit the clay)(by determining the amount of the element iridium (Ir) ) (it contained. ) (TPO8, 52)
句子分析:

參考翻譯:
科學(xué)家感覺(jué)他們可以通過(guò)確定這層一厘米黏土層的沉積時(shí)間就可以知道滅絕所用的時(shí)間,而他們認(rèn)為可以通過(guò)確定黏土層包含銥的含量能確定它(黏土層)所沉積的時(shí)間。
