台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
The roots of consciousness aren't fully understood but it's believed that for humans to be awake and conscious, a few things in the brain need to be functioning properly.
虽然我们还没办法完全了解意识的根源所在,但目前普遍认为:人们如果要意识清醒,脑中的某些部位必须正常运作才行。
学习重点:
1.root 根;根基
root (n.) 根;根基
rooted in (phr.) 根源于
2.consciousness 有知觉;清醒
consciousness (n.) 有知觉;清醒
conscious (adj.) 神志清醒的;有知觉的
unconscious (adj.) 失去知觉的
3.brain 脑袋
brain (n.) 脑袋
bran (n.) 糠;麦麸
