42 Not only does air exert preure, but it also has buoyancy.This method not only simplifies analysis but also facilitates measurements.空气不仅产生压力，而且有浮力。

这种方法不仅简化了分析，而且也便于测量。 7.3 常用主从连接词的译法 第3节 翻译练习1 The loop oscillator frequency can be the same as, or a multiple of , the reference frequency.Because a d.c.motor is the same physical machine as a d.c.generator, its equivalent circuit is exactly the same as that of a generator except for the direction of current flow.环路振荡器可以和参考频率相同，也可以是参考频率的倍数。 由于直流电机与直流发电机的物理结构是一样的，其等效电路除了电流方向外也与直流发电机相同。

R2, as is shown in Fig.3, has been split in halves to enable the feedback to be applied.Under certain conditions a body can be charged, as has been said before.如图3所示，R2被分为两半，使得反馈能够加上去。 在一定的条件下，物体能够带电，这在前面已经讲到。 第3节 翻译练习2 As current is increased, the flux builds up according to Curve 2.As you are doing the experiment, write down the observations.当电流增大，磁通沿着曲线2增大。

从那时起它已发生化学变化，即使加以冷却，它也不会恢复原样。 第3节 翻译练习10 If a.c.power is available, all drives requiring constant speed should use squirrel-cage induction or synchronous motors because of their ruggedne and lower cost.If the parting contacts are made of low-melting-point material such as bra or copper, the arc will go out at the first current zero as the voltage is insufficient to reestablish as cathode spot after current reversal.因为鼠笼式感应电动机或同步电动机经久耐用且成本低，若有交流电源可用，所有需要恒速驱动的装置应使用这两种电机。 如果分段的触点采用低熔点金属（如黄铜、铜）等制作，则电弧会在第一个电流过零点熄灭，因为在电流极性变化后，没有足够的电压再次产生阴极辉光放电。

People might have avoided many accidents if ultrasonic methods had been known.If a d.c.system were to be used, the transmiion lo would be very great.If there were no air, the earth would undergo extreme changes in temperature.The question is if there are other chief sources of organic materials in addition to coal and petroleum.要是过去知道超声波法，人们当时是可以避免许多事故的。 如果没有空气，地球温度就会发生剧变。 若采用直流电力网，输电损失就会很大。

一旦达到熔点，温度就不再升高，直到完全熔化。 物体一旦处于运动状态，就会继续运动下去。 第3节 翻译练习13 The preure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume provided its temperature is kept constant.

45 The blast-furnace is expected to remain the world’s chief source of iron units steelmaking, provided adequate supplies of suitable coking coal remain available at competitive cost.如果温度保持不变，则气体压力和其体积成反比。

只要有足够的焦煤且成本低，高炉仍将是世界上主要的炼铁设备。

All substances will permit the paage of some electric current, in the event that the potential difference is high enough.The magnetic effect does not represent a continuous expenditure of energy, supposing that the current is steady.倘若电位差足够高时，所有的物质都将可能通过若干电流。 假如电流稳定的话，磁效应不再继续消耗能量。 第3节 翻译练习14 Since that time, especially since the introduction of the Beemer proce, the age of iron has turned into an age of steel.Electricity has found wide application since it was discovered.自从那时起，特别是自从采用贝西默炼钢法以来，炼铁时代转变为炼钢时代。。 自从发现电以后，电就获得了广泛的应用。

Since planetesimals aggregated at different distances from the sun’s heat and light, the composition of the planets varies.Since the secondary winding is normally operated into a high-impedance circuit, the secondary current is quite small.由于微星聚集的地点离太阳的热和光远近不同，行星的组成也不同。 因为次级绕组通常被输入高阻抗的电路，所以次级电流很小。 第3节 翻译练习15 Large accumulations of plant remains indicate that the deposits were formed in close proximity to land in a swamp, estuary, or delta.One condition for this is that the polymer consists of alternate single and double bonds, termed conjugated double bonds.若是植物遗骸大量堆积，这表明沉积物是在紧靠陆地的沼泽、港湾或三角洲中形成的。（宾从）
