第147句 潜意识
However, Allen believed that the unconscious mind generates as much action as the conscious mind, and while we may be able to sustain the illusion of control through the conscious mind alone, in reality we are continually faced with a question: "Why cannot I make myself do this or achieve that?"
译文:
然而,艾伦认为潜意识会产生跟显意识一样多的行为;尽管我们或许能够保持这样一种错觉:认为仅凭显意识就能控制我们的思想,但事实上,我们却一直面临着一个问题:“我们为什么不能让自己去做这件事情或去实现那个目标呢?”
点睛:
本句的主干为Allen believed that...,that引导的是believed的第一个宾语从句,该从句中又包含一个as much... as比较结构,其中the unconscious mind指“潜意识”,generate意为“产生”,the conscious mind指“显意识”。and连接笫二个宾语从句,这个宾语从句本身又包含一个while引导的让步状语从句,while在句中译为“虽然…但是…”,sustain意为“保持,维持”,face with意为“面对,面临”。
