1·Why don't you let the nest drift as usual?
你为什么不像往常一样让鸟巢漂流呢？
2·My sister and I reclined and let our little rowboat drift out onto the lake.
我的妹妹和我斜倚着，让我们的小舟在湖面漂泊。
3·The storm's violent waves would have caused separate pieces floating even briefly on the surface to drift apart.
风暴猛烈的海浪会使漂浮在海面上的碎片漂流分离。
4·The answer might involve their offspring, which in their larval form drift in the currents to colonize new vents.
答案可能与它们以幼虫形式随着洋流漂流到新的喷气口的后代有关。
5·We now know the age of the glaciation accurately from radiometric dating of the carbon-14 in logs buried in the drift.
我们现在通过测量掩埋在漂流物中木头放射性的碳-14元素，以精确地确定冰川作用的时期。
6·Offshore platforms may also lose oil, creating oil slicks that drift ashore and foul the beaches, harming the environment.
近海勘探平台也可能会泄露石油，这样会导致油膜的形成，这些油膜漂流到海岸上而且会污染海滩，从而破坏了环境。
7·It was apparent that the glaciation occurred in the relatively recent past because the drift was soft, like freshly deposited sediment.
很明显冰川作用就发生在相对不远的过去，因为漂流物很软，像新鲜的沉积物。
8·In 1912, Alfred Wegener proposed, in a widely debated theory that came to be called continental drift, that Earth's continents were mobile.
1912年，阿尔弗雷德·魏格纳在一个被称为“大陆漂移”的理论中提出，地球上的大陆是可移动的。
9·Earth's internal heat, fueled by radioactivity, provides the energy for plate tectonics and continental drift, mountain building, and earthquakes.
地球内部因放射而产生的热量为板块运动、大陆漂移、造山运动和地震提供了能量。
10·This drift has been studied extensively in many animals and in biological activities ranging from the hatching of fruit fly eggs to wheel running by squirrels.
在许多动物中，以及在诸如果蝇卵的孵化乃至松鼠跑动的转轮这样的生物活动中，这种变化趋势一直受到广泛的研究。
