Audiobook Dictation: “The question which of these occurs…”

The question which of these occurs is not of any importance for the theoretic serviceability of the characteristic in question.

究竟发生的是其中哪一种，对于所讨论的这一特征在理论上的效用并无任何重要性。

There may be a specific feeling which could be called the feeling of "pastness," especially where immediate memory is concerned.

可能存在一种特定的感觉，可以称为“过去性”的感觉，尤其是在涉及即时记忆的时候。

But apart from this, there are other marks.

但除此之外，还有其他标志。

One of these is context.

其中之一是语境。

A recent memory has, usually, more context than a more distant one.

近期的记忆通常比久远的记忆带有更多语境。

There is, of course, a difference between knowing the temporal relation of a remembered event to the present, and knowing the time-order of two remembered events.

当然，知道一个被记起的事件与现在之间的时间关系，和知道两个被记起的事件的时间顺序，是有区别的。

Very often our knowledge of the temporal relation of a remembered event to the present is inferred from its temporal relations to other remembered events.

我们对一个被记起的事件与现在之间时间关系的认识，往往是从它与其他被记起事件的时间关系中推断出来的。
