十分荒谬的 meaning in English

preposterous

In light of the evidence , it is absurd to hold such a view
根据这些证言，持有这样的想法是十分荒谬的。
In one limited sense , as we shall hereafter see , this may be true ; but it is preposterous to attribute to mere external conditions , the structure , for instance , of the woodpecker , with its feet , tail , beak , and tongue , so admirably adapted to catch insects under the bark of trees
从某一狭义来说，正如以后即将讨论到的，这种说法可能是正确的；但是，譬如说，要把啄木鸟的构造、它的脚、尾、喙，如此令人赞叹地适应于捉取树皮下的昆虫，也仅仅归因于外界条件，则是十分荒谬的。
