correlate /'k?r?leit/
v. 相關(guān)聯(lián)
correlate 是前綴 co- 加上 relate
co- 這個前綴表示“相互”,relate 的意思是“與……有關(guān)聯(lián)”。
所以 correlate 的意思就是“相互關(guān)聯(lián)”、“互相之間有聯(lián)系”。
the figures do not seem to correlate.
這些數(shù)據(jù)似乎毫不相干。

we already know that cats can be as neurotic as their owners are, but just how deep are the personality ties between felines and the humans who look after them?
我們已經(jīng)知道了貓可以和他們的主人一樣神經(jīng)質(zhì),但是主人和寵物之間的性格相關(guān)度到底多高呢?
pretty deep, according to new research from scientists in the uk, who found that personality traits of cat owners correlated with related behaviours exhibited by their pets – suggesting that, to some extent, your cat might be absorbing and mirroring aspects of your own personality.
英國科學家的研究顯示,相當高。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)貓主人的性格特征與寵物表現(xiàn)出的相關(guān)行為是相互關(guān)聯(lián)的,這表明,在某種程度上,你的貓可能在學習和模仿你自己性格的方方面面。
