标题[请益] 关於文中的几个字翻译
时间Tue Dec 13 10:56:37 2011
But scientists say their latest research indicates that explosive eruptions
of ash and rock have been far more common in the past than the gentle,
photogenic outflows seen today.
have been so far more common in the past 应该翻成比过去还要频繁吗
後方的 than the gentle要怎麽翻比较恰当？
-----
By studying the charred remains of plants caught up in historic blasts,
they've established that Kilauea's more violent mode has dominated the last
2,500 years.
句中的 charred remains of plants 指的应该是植物的灰尽
後方的 caught up 在此处的用法是如何呢？
应该不是一般catch up赶上的意思
-----
Scientists say it's not possible to predict if this violent behaviour will
return but should it come back, large parts of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
would be off-limits for a long time.
第一句中的後方 but should it come back 是跟
"Scientists say ...." 平行的结构还是？
不太会翻...可否请高手稍微点一下
谢谢 :)
