all atoms that of the same element的分析与理解

《实用科技英语翻译技巧》(科学技术文献出版社  王运编著)p46的一个句子:

At one time it was thought all atoms that of the same element were exactly alike. 曾经一度为人公认,同一种元素的所有原子都完全相同。

对于这个句子中的 all atoms that of the same element,我很困惑,我怀疑该句是不是写错了,我觉得全句应该写成:At one time it was thought that all atoms of the same element were exactly alike. 曾经一度为人公认,同一种元素的所有原子都完全相同。

请专家指教,谢谢!

你的理解完全正确。这个句子确实存在失误,应改为:

At one time it was thought that all atoms of the same element were exactly alike.

这句话等于说:

Once people thought that all atoms of the same element were exactly alike.
