The Difference and Similarity
in Textual Organization

Meanwhile, there are many similarities in textual organization of both English and Chinese. Thus it is crucial to reproduce the author’s thinking pattern and information by keeping the similar textual organization as the original versions.

1.1 The Sequence of time 年代时间顺序 The Food and Drug Administration approved human clinical trials for such a procedure just last month. Over the last decade, neuroscientists have used the protein to make neurons react to light to help them study the brain, a technique known as optogenetics. Now, the Ann Arbor, Michigan–based company, RetroSense Therapeutics, has recruited 15 patients rendered blind by a genetic eye disease for its clinical trial to find out whether channelrhodopsin-2 will work in eye cells, too. If it does, the quality of vision the patients will have remains unknown, but mice that have had a similar treatment appear to see bars of light, which scientists say is promising.
