Darwin's theory was that the succession from one coral reef type to another could be achieved by the upward growth of coral from a sinking platform, and that there would be a progression from a fringing reef, through the barrier reefstage until, with the disappearance through subsidence (sinking) of the central island, only a reef-enclosed lagoon or atoll would survive
一种珊瑚礁种类可以通过从一个正在下沉的平面上向上生长演化成为另一种种类,并且,通过岸礁就演变到堡礁,直到由于中央岛因为下沉消失了,只剩下珊瑚环绕的泻湖或环礁保存下来
1、求结构分析
2、不知为什么 and that there would be a progression from a fringing reef, through the barrier reef stage
翻译为通过岸礁就演变到堡礁?through和from还有关系了?
网上全是这个翻译版本的解析与翻译,但是“通过岸礁就演变到堡礁”这样的翻译属实难以理解。个人认为“and that”是引导和上一个“that”所引导从句并列的从句。相似问题:http://ask.yygrammar.com/q-35079.html。

按照个人理解简单翻译一下,请老师指正。
达尔文的理论认为珊瑚在下沉平面上生长可以促成珊瑚礁种类的演变
(而且认为有)从岸礁开始,再到堡礁阶段,到只留下环礁湖或环礁的演变过程
在演变过程中,中心岛屿由于下沉而消失
