注释:
1…and early-warning software aimed at offering heart patients greater protection. :本句中aimed at是过去分词短语,作前面两个名词的定语,原意是“把目标瞄准……”,此处可译为 “旨在为心脏病人提供更多保护的早期预报软件”。
2 anon-linear process that reveals the chaotic patterns of heart beats as an open and complex system:这里that引导的是process的定语从句。as是介词,open在此可译为“直观的”。本句的意思是:……能够将心脏跳动的混乱模式作为一个直观而又复杂的系统揭示出来的非线性处理方法。
