英语语法分析

Despite this, Kench and Webb found that just four islands have diminished in size since the 1950s.

尽管如此，肯奇和韦伯发现自20世纪50年代以来仅有4个岛屿在面积上消失了。

Webb and Kench warn that while the islands are coping for now, any acceleration in the rate of sea-level rise could overtake the sediment build up.

韦伯和肯奇警告说尽管岛屿现在还能应付，但海平面上升速度任何的加快都将吞噬掉沉积物的累积。

Kench says anecdotal reports that the islands have been submerged are "incorrect", saying that instead erosion has changed the shape of the islands, forcing people to move.

肯奇认为坊间报告所称该群岛已经被淹没的说法是“不正确的”，由于腐蚀作用改变了群岛的形状，才迫使人们不得不搬迁。
