I read a science story the other day and it said,
前几天我读了一篇科学报道,上面写着
"Researchers have discovered important relationships between different types of animals"

I see where you are going with this. The writer used the present perfect tense!

Right! Why would the writer use the present perfect tense?
没错!为什么作者要用现在完成时呢?
English speakers use the present perfect tense to talk about actions or states that happened in the past.
讲英语的人用现在完成时态来谈论过去发生的动作或状态。
These actions or states continue into the present, or they are still important in the present.
这些动作或状态持续到现在或对现在仍很重要。
You will often see verbs of discovery used in the present perfect tense, particularly in academic writing.
你经常会看到动词discovery使用现在完成时,尤其是在学术写作中。
Writers use these verbs to tell about past research or studies.
作者用这些动词来讲述过去的研究。
These results continue to be important.
这些结果仍然很重要。
So that is why the science writer wrote:
这就是为什么科学作家写
"Researchers have discovered important relationships between different types of animals"
“研究人员发现了不同种类动物之间的重要关系”
Common discovery verbs that are frequently used in the present perfect tense include:
经常使用现在完成时态的常见发现动词包括:
