これはつまり、私(わたし)たちがどんな状(じょう)況(きょう)を知(ち)覚(かく)する場(ば)合(あい)でも、私(わたし)たちの知(ち)覚(かく)は、その時(とき)に五(ご)感(かん)が知(ち)覚(かく)する信(しん)号(ごう)だけに依(い)存(ぞん)しているわけではないということである。

  • This means that our perception of any situation depends only partly on sensory signals being received at that time.

それで、過(か)去(こ)の知(ち)識(しき)が、その知(ち)識(しき)に関(かん)するだいたい適(てき)切(せつ)と思(おも)われる想(そう)定(てい)と混(ま)ざり合(あ)って、五(ご)感(かん)によって提(てい)供(きょう)される情(じょう)報(ほう)を増(ぞう)大(だい)させるために利(り)用(よう)されるのである。

  • And so, knowledge from the past, mixed up with assumptions about that knowledge, which may be more or less appropriate, is used to augment information provided by the senses.

私(わたし)たちがこの世(せ)界(かい)を経(けい)験(けん)し理(り)解(かい)するのは、五(ご)感(かん)を通(つう)じて受(う)け入(い)れられ、脳(のう)によって解(かい)釈(しゃく)される信(しん)号(ごう)を通(つう)じてなのである。そして、この両(りょう)方(ほう)のプロセスともゆがめられやすい。

  • We experience and understand the world through signals that are received by the senses and interpreted by the brain - and both stages are subject to distortion.
