📖 英文原文
Such variation can no doubt be explained with reference to the habitats in which individual species have developed. For example, vision is obviously more useful to species inhabiting clear open waters than to those living in turbid rivers and flooded plains.

🔑 核心知识点
1. with reference to
- 意思: “根据……” “关于……” “参照……”
- 例句: With reference to your report about improving the performance of cars, I have two questions. (关于你那改善汽车性能的报告,我有两个问题。)
- 同义表达: in reference to, regarding, concerning
- 动词形式: refer,常用搭配 refer to 表示”涉及、谈到、参考”
2. no doubt
- 意思: “无疑、确信、想必”
- 常用句型: “There is no doubt that…” (毫无疑问……)
- 例句: There is no doubt that climate change poses serious challenges.
3. 定语从句结构
- “in which individual species have developed” 是带介词的定语从句,修饰 habitats
- 当介词与关系代词之间存在介宾关系时,可将介词置于关系代词前
- 还原: individual species have developed in habitats
4. 比较结构 (A is more… to B than to C)
- 句型: A is more useful to B than to C (A对B比对C更有用)
- 比较成分: species inhabiting clear open waters vs. those living in turbid rivers and flooded plains
- ⚠️ 注意比较成分的词性要保持一致
- species 和代词 those(指代species)后接现在分词作后置定语
- 例句: I believe it is more useful to encourage children than to punish them. (我认为鼓励孩子比惩罚他们更有用)
- 📝 参考翻译 参照个体物种生存发展的生长环境,这些变异可以毫无疑问地被解释。例如,视力对生活在清澈宽广的水域的物种而言,显然比居住于混浊的河流和洪水泛滥的平原上的物种更为有用。
