第115期:形状和结构

But even more important, it was the farthest that scientists had been able to look into the past, for what they were seeing were the patterns and structures that existed 15 billion years ago.

译文：

但是更为重要的是，这是科学家们所能观测到的最遥远的过去的景象，因为他们所观察的是150亿年前存在的形状和结构。

点睛：

该句中包含it was...that...的强调句式，被强调的是the farthest。even more important为句子的状语。for引导的是原因状语从句，其中what引导的是主语从句，that引导的是以patterns and structures为先行词的定语从句。短语look into sth.意为“调查／观察某事物”。
