This [perspective] makes sense if you simplify the workings of a complex brain, [reducing] it to an array of electrical pulses; cells in plants also communicate through electrical signals.
如果你把复杂大脑的运作加以简化，将其归结为一系列电脉冲，那么这种观点就说得通了；植物细胞也通过电信号进行交流。
[However], the signaling in a plant is only [superficially] similar to the firing in a complex animal brain, which is more than “a mass of cells that communicate by electricity,” Taiz said.

在纽约市的大多数无家可归者花园里，真正种植植物是不可行的，但即便如此，这些布置似乎常常代表着一种尝试，试图通过将材料成簇排列、引入色彩、设置小水池以及频繁摆放花瓣、树叶和毛绒动物等方式，唤起动植物的生命精神，哪怕只是象征性的。
