今日长难句：

选自《与爱因斯坦月球漫步》

从一个报道美国记忆锦标赛的记者和一个经常忘记为什么打开冰箱门的普通人，Joshua Foer用了一年时间，就赢得了2006年美国记忆锦标赛的冠军。书中的标题“Moonwalking with Einstein”指代的是一种记忆提升技术，也被称为“记忆宫殿”，这个技术是通过想象在你熟悉的空间里创造并放置搞笑的、新奇的可视化图像（比如爱因斯坦在月球上行走）来帮助记住事物。通过深入研究和自我实践，他成功地揭示了记忆科学的奥秘，并以极具吸引力和幽默的方式呈现给读者。对任何希望提高记忆力，需要迅速提升英文词汇量的背单词困难户，或者对大脑工作原理感兴趣的人都具有极高的启发性。

Indeed, I learned that until fairly recently, most psychologists suspected that our brains really do function as perfect recorders—that a lifetime of memories are stocked away somewhere in the cerebral attic, and if they can't be found, it isn't because they've vanished, but only because we've misplaced them.

I learned that之后跟随的宾语从句当中又嵌套了一个宾语从句，that until fairly recently, most psychologists suspected that our brains really do function as perfect recorders，他们认为我们的大脑像是一个完美的记录器，在这里suspected怀疑这个动词体现的是一种不是很确定的可能性，破折号之后又跟随了一个that引导的宾语从句，仍然是心理学家认为的内容，（most psychologists suspected）that a lifetime of memories are stocked away somewhere in the cerebral attic, 一生的记忆被储存在大脑的某个地方，这里的名词attic阁楼用的非常生动形象，因为阁楼一般就是用于储存杂物的地方，这里cerebral attic指的就是大脑中存储一些不重要事物的地方， and if they can't be found ,it isn't because they've vanished, 如果找不到它们，并不是因为它们消失了，but only because we've misplaced them.而只是因为我们把它们放错了地方。今天的作业就是用连环的两个宾语从句造句：“我记得她说她下个月要搬去巴黎。”

核心要点：

1.stock away 储存，储备

The term "stock away" generally means to store or keep something for future use. It often implies that the items are being stored in a safe or hidden place.

例：She stocked away some money for her retirement.

她储备了一些钱以备退休时使用。

2.attic n.阁楼

An attic is a space or room inside or partly inside the roof of a building. It is often used for storing things.

例：We store our holiday decorations in the attic.

我们在阁楼里储存节日装饰品。

3.cerebral adj.大脑的；理智的，智力的

"Cerebral" can refer to something that is related to the brain. In a more figurative sense, "cerebral" can refer to something that requires or involves serious intellectual activity.

例：They are conducting research on cerebral functions.

他们正在进行关于大脑功能的研究。

例：The book is a bit too cerebral for me; I prefer a more relaxed read.

这本书对我来说有点过于烧脑了，我更喜欢轻松一些的读物。
