This success, coupled with later research showing that memory itself is not genetically determined, led Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one
词汇突破:cognitive 认知的 (后天习得的) Intuitive 先天的 和以上这组单词概念相同的表达还有: Nature 先天;nurture 后天; born ;先天的;made 后天的;innate 天生的;Acquired 后天习得; Determine 决定 Coupled with 相当于 and,想类似的表达还有 along with ; combined with 等
主干识别:句子的主语是 This success 和 later research ;谓语是 led; 宾语是 Ericsson; 不定式短语 to conclude 做状语;主干结构是:this success and later research led Ericsson to conclude that … 其他成分:在 research 后面接一个现在分词短语做后置定语,在这个现在分词短语中 that 引导的从句做 showing 的宾语;在不定式短语中 that 引导的从句做 conclude 的宾语;more…than 结构翻译为与其说,不如说
微观解析:由于主语中的第二个并列成分比较长,且是用两个逗号隔开的,在阅读的时候可以跳读;把 This success 和动词 led 先连起来然后再来解析其他成分
译文赏析:这种成功和后来表明记忆本身并不是先天决定的
