1. A scrub jay can remember when it cached a particular piece of food in a particular place, researchers have discovered, and tend not to bother to recover a perishable treat if stored long enough to have rotted.
研究人员发现,SJ这种鸟能记得何时何地贮藏了何种食物,而且它不会费力去找回(原来自己贮藏的)因贮藏时间太久而腐坏了的易腐食物。
1. not bother to do和not bother doing都表示“不会费力去做”。
2. stored是过去分词做后置定语,修饰treat。加if后,后面stored的逻辑主语是个问题了。
