查询词典 flatlander

And a Flatlander trying to view our three-dimensional world would only be able to perceive shapes in two-dimensional cross-sections.

对于Flatlander来说，看我们的三维世界的时候只能看到奇怪的切片。

You love the Land Cruiser look and seating position, but you're a flatlander who doesn't need more than front-wheel-drive capability.

你爱的陆地巡洋舰的外观和座位的位置，但你是一个flatlander谁不需要超过前轮驱动能力。

And we three-dimensional human beings would seem very strange indeed to a Flatlander.

而对于Flatlander来说，我们三维的人类也就更加奇怪了。

But here's another way to describe the third dimension: if we imagine an ant walking across a newspaper which is lying on a table, we can pretend that the ant is a Flatlander, walking along on a flat two-dimensional newspaper world.

但我们还有另一种思考的方式。如果我们想象一个蚂蚁走过一张桌子上的报纸，我们可以假设这个蚂蚁是一个Flatlander，走在一个平的二维世界。

If that paper is now folded in the middle, we create a way for our Flatlander Ant to "magically" disappear from one position in his two-dimensional world and be instantly transported to another.

如果现在我们把这报纸从中间折起来，我们就为这个Flatlander蚂蚁很神奇的从这个二维世界的一个位置消失并瞬间移动到另一个位置。

The first objection is, that a Flatlander, seeing a Line, sees something that must be THICK to the eye as well as LONG to the eye (otherwise it would not be visible, if it had not some thickness); and consequently he ought to acknowledge that his countrymen are not only long and broad, but also (though doubtless in a very slight degree) THICK or HIGH.

第一个反对，一个二维生物，看到线，看到的是，必须厚的眼睛，以及龙的眼睛（否则将不可见，如果没有一些厚度），因此他应该承认他的同胞不仅是长期和广泛的，而且（虽然毫无疑问，在一个很小的程度）厚或高。

But now, drawing back to the edge of the table, gradually lower your eye (thus bringing yourself more and more into the condition of the inhabitants of Flatland), and you will find the penny becoming more and more oval to your view, and at last when you have placed your eye exactly on the edge of the table (so that you are, as it were, actually a Flatlander) the penny will then have ceased to appear oval at all, and will have become, so far as you can see, a straight line.

但是，现在，向桌子的边缘靠下去，你的视线逐渐降低（这样可以使你越来越进入平面国居民的状态）。你会发现这枚硬币逐渐变成了椭圆形，并且越来越扁，最后，当你的眼睛正正好在桌子边缘的时候（这样你就是，就好象是，真正的平面国国民了），这枚硬币不再呈现出椭圆形，正如你所看到的，它已经变成直线了。

If our ant on the newspaper were a two-dimensional Flatlander, then folding his two-dimensional world through the third dimension would allow him to magically disappear from one location and appear in a different one.

如果我们的报纸上的蚂蚁也是个二维Flatlander，那将这个二维世界折成三维后将让这个蚂蚁神奇的从一个位置消失去到另一个位置去。

And this means that a two-dimensional Flatlander traveling down the line we just drew would end up back where they started without ever feeling like they had left the second dimension.

这么看来，这条纸只有一个边，所以说它必须是二维的，也就是说，如果一个二维的Flatlander沿着我们画的这条线走的话，它将会回到它的起点而觉得他从未离开过二维世界。

This is the way a Flatlander would build a microscope, says Smolyaninov, referring to Edwin Abbott's 1880 novel Flatland, set in a 2D world inhabited by 2D characters.

Smolyaninov联想到艾德温阿巴特1880年描写住在二维世界里的二维生命的小说《平原》说，"这是一种在平地上制造显微镜的方案。"

It goes back to what I told you...

现在回到我告诉过你的。。。

With a supporter in Mr Charest and an admirer in Mr Dumont, Mr Harper may be encouraged to call an election himself.

由于在沙雷那边有个支持者，杜蒙那边有个崇拜者，鼓励哈珀为自己举行一次选举。
