　13 Other experiments revealed slight variations in the size，number, arrangement，and interconnection of the nerve cells，but as far as psycho neural correlations were concerned，the obvious similarities of these sensory fields to each other seemed much more remarkable than any of the minute differences.

　　尽管其他实验显示在神经细胞的大小、数量、排列和相互连接上有一些小的差异，但是就心理-神经的关系而言，这些感官区域彼此之间的明显的相似性看起来比起微小的差异更为令人注目.

　　14 although some experiments show that，as an object becomes familiar，its internal representation becomes more holistic and the recognition process correspondingly more parallel，the weight of evidence seems to support the serial hypothesis, at least for objects that are not notably simple and familiar.

　　虽然Ḁ些实验表明，随着一个物体变得熟悉起来，其内心再现图像亦更具整体感，辨认过程相应地更趋于平行，但证据的砝码似乎在支持序列假设(serial hypothesis)，至少是对于那些不甚简单、不甚熟悉的物体来说。

　　15 In large part as a consequence of the feminist movement，historians have focused a great deal of attention in recent years on determining more accurately the status of women in various periods.

　　在很大程度上，由于女权主义运动(feminist movement)的缘故，史学家近年来汇聚了大量的注意力，来更为准确地确定妇女在各个历史时期的地位。

　　16 If one begins by examining why ancients refer to Amazons, it becomes clear that ancient Greek descriptions of such societies were meant not so much to represent observed historical fact—real Amazonian societies—but rather to offer“moral lessons”on the supposed outcome of women’s rule in their own society .

　　如果我们先来研究一下为什么古人会ᨀ到亚马逊人，下面的一点就变得清晰了，那即是古希腊对于这种社会的᧿述不是太多的被用来表达被观察到的历史事实—真正的亚马逊社会的—而是为了对于(妇女在社会中的统治)所设想的后果ᨀ供一种“道德教训”

　　17 Thus，for instance，it may come as a shock to mathematicians to learn that the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom is not a literally correct description of this atom，but only an approximation to a somewhat more correct equation taking account of spin，magnetic dipole，and relativistic effects;and that this corrected equation is itself only an imperfect approximation to an infinite set of quantum field-theoretical equations.

　　因此，举例来说，对数学家而言，了解到下述情形可能会令其惊愕不已，即薛定谔(schrodinger)的氢原子方程式并非是对该原子作出的一种绝然正确的᧿述，而仅仅是个近似值，趋近于一个在Ḁ种程度上更为正确的将自旋、磁性偶极子、以及相对论效应考虑在内的方程式;而这个得以纠正的方程式就其本身而言也只是一个不完美的近似值，趋近于无穷无尽的一整套量子场论方程式。

　　18 The physicist rightly dreads precise argument，since an argument that isconvincing only if it is precise loses all its force if the assumptions onwhich it is based are slightly changed，whereas an argument that is convincing though imprecise may well be stable under small perturbations of its underlying assumptions.

　　物理学家恐惧于那些精确无误的论据不无道理，因为Ḁ种只有在它是精确无误的条件下才令人置信的论据，一旦它赖于建立其上的假设稍有变化，便会失去它一部的作用;而与此相反，一个尽管并不精确无误但却令人置信的论据，在其基本假设(underlying assumption)稍微受干扰的情况下，仍然有可能是站得住脚的。
