英语句子翻译 勿用翻译器

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? This is one of life’s oldest questions and people have been debating about it for thousands of years. Now scientists believe they have solved this puzzle. Researchers from Sheffield and Warwick Universities in England discovered the answer by chance. They used a super computer to observe the shell-making process while a new shell was froming. Then they found one protein called OC17 that is necessary for forming eggshell。This is only found inside a chicken’s body, which is proof that the chicken came first.The team was originally looking at how animals and birds make eggshells but suddenly made their surprising discovery.
只需翻译“The team was originally looking at how animals and birds make eggshells but suddenly made their surprising discovery.” originally是修饰哪个词还是整个句子的？

Answer 1

先有鸡还是先有蛋？这是一个有关于生命的最古老的问题之一，人们为之争论了有几千年了。现在科学家们相信他们已经找到了问题的答案。英国Sheffield和Warwick两所大学的研究者偶然发现这个问题的答案。他们在新的贝壳形成的时候用一台超级电脑观察贝壳的形成过程。然后他发现了一个名为OC17的蛋白，这种蛋白对鸡蛋壳的形成非常重要。这种蛋白只有在小鸡的体内才能发现，而这就证明了先有的是鸡。该研究组本来是想探究动物和鸟类是怎样孕育蛋壳的但是他们突然有了这个惊人的发现。
翻完才看到你最后一句话。。。。。originally是修饰前半句话的but前面。

Answer 2

这个团队原来一直在研究动物和鸟类是怎样形成蛋壳的，但是突然得到了这个令人惊讶的发现。
originally是修饰动词looking的。
