SpaceX首席执行官埃隆•马斯克最近在学术期刊《新太空》(New Space)上发表一篇文章,称如果人类永远待在地球上,可能会遭遇生物灭绝的灾难,并声明火星将是人类的避难所。马斯克还在这篇论文中详细地展开了他的火星殖民构想,勾画了人类成为多星球物种(a multi-planetary species)的前景。他说我们应该尽早将部分人类运往火星生存,为人类文明备份(send humans to Mars as a backup drive for civilization)。然而航空领域的科学家却不买账,他们批评(struck a combative tone)此文是野心家的空泛狂想,并没有提出任何可操作的解决方案,亦不拥有可借鉴的学术价值。
今天的句子:
“It’s a wild-eyed investment pitch, pumped up by the enthusiasm of credulous fan boys brought up on comic book sci-fi, wrapped in evangelism of saving humanity from itself and the problems we’ve wrought on this planet, a kind of modern day manifest destiny,” he tweeted in response to the paper.

确定主干:
he tweeted in response to the paper主句的主干
It’s a wild-eyed investment pitch直接引语的主干
切分成分:
1.pumped up by the enthusiasm of credulous fan boys 后置定语一
2. brought up on comic book sci-fi
= fan boys were brought up on comic book sci-fi
3.wrapped in evangelism of saving humanity后置定语二
4.from itself and the problems状语
5.(that) we’ve wrought on this planet修饰problems的定语从句,省略引导词that
6.a kind of modern day manifest destiny同位语,修饰a wild-eyed investment pitch
参考译文:他推特上对论文回应道:“这是狂热的投资宣传。读科幻漫画长大的粉丝们头脑简单,大肆吹捧。它以福音主义作为包装,要从人类自己的手中拯救人类,回避我们在地球上造成的问题。这是一种现代的命定扩张论。”
明天的句子:
The nation's capital has been captivated for years with the battle over the Redskins' name, but the high court had left the football team's case pending at a federal appeals court in order to hear the challenge brought by band leader Simon Tam and his Portland, Ore.-based foursome.
