One evening while reciting the day's lecture to myself, I made an important discovery. In trying to make my presentation as smooth as possible, I used the transitional words "Now that we have discussed the major reason for the success of Pharaoh Hophra, let us look at the minor reasons." At that moment I stopped still, for at no time did the professor ever cut up the lecture into topics and subtopics; however, the topics and subtopics were there, waiting to be discovered. With this secret in mind, I found that I could take better notes during the lecture, and after class I could very easily supply the missing parts.
waiting to be discovered这里做什么状语?
The topics and subtopics were there,waiting to be discovered.
参考译文:这些标题和副标题都在那里,正等待着被发现。
