searching for nectar and pollen 不是定语,而是伴随状语,也就是与谓语动词 visit 同时发生的伴随行为,即它们一边 visit flowers 一边 searching for nectar and polle.这个句子也可以改为——
并列谓语:They are able to visit dozens or hundreds of flowers in one day and search for nectar and pollen.
while引导的从句:They are able to visit dozens or hundreds of flowers in one day while they are searching for nectar and pollen.
可以这样翻译:
1、它们在一天内能够飞临数十朵或者上百朵花寻觅花蜜和花粉.
2、在采集花蜜和花粉的同时,它们在一天中能够造访数十朵或者上百朵花.
