【Q25】

Yet despite the considerable overlap

between Wegener’s concepts and the

(25)     later widely embraced plate tectonics

theory, and despite the fact that conti-

nental drift theory presented a possible

solution to the problem of the origin of

mountains at a time when existing expla-

(30)     nations were seriously in doubt, in its

day Wegener’s theory was rejected

by the vast majority of geologists.

We can tell from the above statement that the continental drift theory might be a good theory, but it was not convinced people. In short, it is suprising that this theory was not accepted by geologist in his time.

同意上述对25题的解释。

虽然，尽管......，瓦格纳的理论当时不被接受。这里“尽管”后面的内容，就是对现象的奇怪的原因说明。

provide a reason why it might seem surprising that continental drift theory was not more widely embraced by geologists

Wegener的板块漂移理论是对的，并且被后人所支持，但是理论证明的论据不充分，数据过于简单，测量工具过于简陋，所以在当时不值得信服

说的好,让我茅塞顿开.终于明白了,in contrast后面说的起什么作用了!!

25T大家不觉得surprising用得很夸张吗？作者的行文没有流露surprising的意味吧。
