Negligible Variations Size Shape Conduction Speed Excitation Demonstrated

意群训练： Such variations in size, shape, chemistry , conduction speed, excitation threshold , and the like as had been demonstrated in nerve cells remained negligible in significance for any possible correlation with the manifold dimensions of mental experience .

标志： Such variations (in size, shape, chemistry, conduction speed, excitation threshold, and the like) (as had been demonstrated in nerve cells) remained negligible /in significance/ / for any possible correlation with the manifold dimensions of mental experience./

译文： （神经细胞中所显示出的）（在诸如大小、形状、化学构成、传导速度、兴奋阈值及其他类似方面的）差异 ，对于解释建立大脑体验的诸多方面与神经细胞的可能的联系来说，意义仍然 微不足道 。

解释： 即使是初练难句的人其实也很熟悉such thing as something这样的语言方式，可是当中间的小东西thing居然变成了一个长达十二个单词的大东西的时候，实在令人搞不清后面的as及其后的something到底为哪方神圣。再加上以such as为中心的长主语距离系动词remain太远，更增加了本句的难度。请读者反复阅读，直到读出这样的感觉：顺序阅读原文时，原文似乎就是几大块，就好像是Such things as A remain negligible in a certain sense.
