分詞構句

There are over 5000 basketball sized spheres deep under the ice in Antarctica, trying to detect something that no one can see.

在南極洲冰層下方五千多個籃球大小的球體，正試圖偵測看不見的東西。

This is one of the largest science experiments in the world, and

這是世界上最大的科學實驗之一，

轉承詞

it was nearly impossible to build because drilling into Antarctica is hard.

而且幾乎不可能建造，因為在南極洲鑽探非常困難。

The first 45 meters down is firmly packed snow.

Copper pipes full of boiling water make it super hot, melting its way through the snow.

裝滿沸水的銅管讓它超級熱，融化雪地。

But then you hit solid ice and you need to switch to a different kind of drill that instead of just being shoots out boiling water at 760 liters per minute to melt right through.

但接著你會遇到固態冰，你需要換另一種鑽機，它不是噴射沸水，而是每分鐘噴出 760 公升的沸水來融化。

Then they need sensors like this to measure the hole's diameter to make sure it stays a consistent size.

然後他們需要像這樣的感測器來測量孔洞的直徑，確保它保持一致的尺寸。

And don't even get me started on how they get hot water to the coldest, driest, windiest place on Earth in the first place.

更別說他們怎麼先把熱水送到地球上最冷、最乾、最多風的地方了。

It took over two days and tons of resources to drill a single hole.

鑽一個孔就花了兩天多的時間和大量的資源。

But they did it 86 times, spanning enough ice to fill a million swimming pools.

但他們做了86次，冰層的厚度足以填滿一百萬個游泳池。

And then they connected thousands of detectors on cables and dropped them into the holes where they now sit, frozen and isolated in total darkness, waiting for something deep out in space.

然後他們將數千個感測器連接到纜線上，並將它們放入孔洞中，現在它們被冰封並孤立在完全的黑暗中，等待著來自遙遠太空的某樣東西。
