on to conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one.
more of a cognitive中的of充当什么成分
答
这里的 more 是 much 的比较级,属于的不定代词.介词短语 of a cognitive exercise 是 more的后置定语,可以直译为“认知活动中更多的东西”,变通翻译就是“更多的认知活动”.
其实 more of 与 two of(两个…)、some of(一些…)、much of (大量的…)的作用是一样的,只不过由于出现在含有 than 的比较结构中,此处用比较级 more of 取代了 much of 而已.
另如:
Employees may take on (more of) their own medical costs in retirement.员工可能会在退休后要自己负担更多的医疗费.
The urgent need to bolster the reforms is beginning to demand (more of) his attention.推动改革的迫切需要引发了他更多的关注.
参考译文:这次成功以及其后的研究致使埃里克斯接下来去断定记忆行为是一种比直观活动更多的认知活动.
