Chinese to English Other Poetry & Literature Narration

The great pleasure of reading is that, although we may think we've forgotten the text of a novel, what we learn from reading it is inevitably stored in our brains, as neurologists like Oliver Sacks remind us. With ***an adequate external stimulus*** (a translation, for example), we can recover this knowledge from oblivion. Solid evidence of this is that as speakers of languages, we know tens of thousands of words... but how often can we remember the day or moment we learned them? Do you remember where and when you learned the word "table" or "love"? That's the magic of culture: we soak it up and barely even notice.
阅读的乐趣是，也许我们以为早忘了一部小说的内容，但如神经学家 Oliver Sacks 所言，我们从书中所学习到的东西，无可避免地都储存在脑海里。只要有***适当的外来刺激***（例如翻译），那些知识便会再次浮现。具体的证据是：我们认得上万个字词，但几时又记得何年何月何日、在何种情况下、如何学到那些字词的？不妨想想，你还记得何时学到「桌子」或「爱」这两个字词呢？教养就是这么回事，你天天吸收却一点也没有察觉。

这样的理解和译法正确吗？
