If you think about it for a moment, it makes totalsense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotionsare awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the worldaround them. They don’t have emotions somuch as needs — they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food.Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calmingeffect. In the real world, they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. Thatway, they start to associate being warm with being loved.
请剖析和翻译一下下面这个句子,谢谢:
They don’t have emotions so much as needs.
They don’t have emotions so much as needs.
=They don’t have emotions so much as they have needs.
字面意思:他们所拥有些情感不如他们所拥有些需要。
变通一下:与其说他们有情感,不如说他们有需要。
