先中文理解下这段话的意思: 拥有强大的体力和高智商,N.看上去已经为环境可能给他们带来的各种困难做好了准备,但是他们在P. era中迅速的消失说明了他们无力适应环境的改变,从而灭亡了。 你说的evidence,实际上指的是现在大家研究起来发现N.“拥有强大的体力和高智商”这个依据,从而推出做好准备。这个证据是现在的,所以appear用一般现在时,不是过去人们发现的evidence。 Combining enormous physical strength with higher intelligence, the Neanderthals appear(和indicates对应,因为都是现在人的想法) to have been equipped(完成时,其实表明比disappear更前的时态,只不过前面有to,所以是have been) to face any obstacle the environment could put in their path, but their relatively sudden disappearance(已经在过去发生了) during the Paleolithic era indicates(现在人的想法,和appear对应) that an inability to adapt to some environmental change led to their extinction. 一己之见~ -- by 会员 leweiyang (2011/4/11 9:36:25)
