句子三：
Odd though it sounds, cosmic inflation is a scientifically plausible consequence of some respected ideas in elementary particle physics, and many astrophysicists have been convinced for the better part of a decade that it is true。
句子分析：
第一、句子可以拆分為三段：
Odd though it sounds, / cosmic inflation is a scientifically plausible consequence of some respected ideas in elementary-particle physics, / and many astrophysicists have been convinced for the better part of a decade that it is true。
第二、句子的結(jié)構(gòu)：
1)主干結(jié)構(gòu)是cosmic inflation is a consequence, and many astrophysicists have been convinced that it is true。其中Odd though it sounds是倒裝的讓步狀語從句，等于 though it sounds odd
2) consequence前后有多重定語。
3) and many astrophysicists have been convinced為被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)。
4) that it is true是賓語從句。
第三、詞的處理：
cosmic inflation 宇宙膨脹說
scientifically plausible consequence 科學(xué)上可信的推論
in elementary-particle physics 基本粒子物理學(xué)
convinced 被說服，相信
for the better part of a decade 七八年來
參考譯文：
宇宙膨脹說雖然聽似奇特醫(yī)學(xué)全在,線m.payment-defi.com，但它是基本粒子物理學(xué)中一些公認(rèn)的理論在科學(xué)上看來可信的推論。許多天體物理學(xué)家七八年來一直認(rèn)為這一論說是正確的。
句子四：
Interest in historical methods has arisen less through external challenge to the validity of history as an intellectual discipline and more from internal quarrels among historians themselves.
