Besides the synapses that mediate electrical signals, there are also so-called gap junctions that allow direct chemical communication between neurons.

除了形成电子信号的突触以外，还有使得神经元之间产生直接化学通信的缝隙连接。

With a smaller gap between a direct hit anda near miss (in terms of damage dealt), shooting at multiple targets becomesmore efficient than picking just one.

当直接命中和几近打偏只有一个小小的差距时（就伤害而言），打多个目标比专挑一个揍更有效率。

Gap junctions are the direct pathways to exchange signals among cardiac myocytes. The electrical conduction velocity there is faster than other place on cell membrane.

缝隙连接是细胞间信息交换的直接通道，此处的电传导速度比细胞膜上其他部位都快。

Could the Japanese step into the breach by filling the direct-investment gap in Asia and the dollar gap for the U.S.? Well, Japan has its own economic problems.
