  • there's still a sneaking hope that someone, someday, may find the Holy Grail of seismology.

  • Some seismologists would say, "No, it's impossible and I'm not willing to go that far,

  • 这是个有趣的挑战 我们或离答案更近
  • there are obviously certain things we're going to learn and have learnt,
  • 显然 有些东西我们要去学习并化为己用
  • maybe one day, we'll get lucky and find that we've been looking at the wrong thing,
  • 也许有一天 我们会幸运地发现自己的研究方向是错的
  • but right now, whatever we do has resulted in, well, I have to say failure,
