thereby: adv. =thus. You use thereby to introduce an important result or consequence of the event or action you have just mentioned. eg. A firm might sometimes sell at a loss to drive a competitor out of business, and thereby increase its market power. thereby是副词,这里表示结果,不能作连词,要由连词and连接。 LZ的翻译没有把thereby的意思包括进去,所以看上去不合逻辑。 虽然in turn也有相同的意思as a result of sth in a series of events,但是activation是名词,缺少连系动词,与前面的句子脱节了。 供仅参考。
