英語四級閱讀關(guān)鍵句：270. The more often the memory is re

270. The more often the memory is recalled afterwards, the more likely it is that permanent links develop between the nerve cells—and the pattern will be stored as a long-term memory.

譯文

事后回憶進(jìn)行得越頻繁，就越有可能在神經(jīng)細(xì)胞之間建立永久的關(guān)聯(lián)——而這種模式也將作為長期記憶被存儲。

點睛

本句的主干是the more often memory is recalled, the more likely it is that。afterwards為recalled的狀語；that引導(dǎo)的是表語從句，該從句實際上是由破折號和and共同連接的并列句；as a long-term memory為stored的方式狀語。afterwards的意思是“后來，以后”。

the more...the more...的意思是“越……越……”。如：

The more you learn, the more you know. 學(xué)得越多，知道得也越多。
