A monocular [mɒˈnɒkjʊlə] 单目镜 is a modified refracting telescope used to magnify the images of distant objects by passing light through a series of lenses and usually prisms, the application of prisms resulting in a lightweight, compact telescope. Volume and weight are less than half those of binoculars of similar optical properties, making a monocular easy to carry, and also proportionally less expensive. Monoculars produce 2-dimensional images, while binoculars add perception of depth (3 dimensions), assuming one has normal binocular vision. Binoculars [bɪˈnɑkjələrz] or field glasses 立体望远镜 are two telescopes mounted side-by-side and aligned to point in the same direction, allowing the viewer to use both eyes (binocular vision) when viewing distant objects. Most are sized to be held using both hands, although sizes vary widely from opera glasses to large pedestal mounted military models. Unlike a (monocular) telescope, binoculars give users a three-dimensional(3D) image: for nearer objects the two views, presented to each of the viewer's eyes from slightly different viewpoints, produce a merged view with an impression of depth. 4. Olympic gold medallist Conor Dwyer announced his retirement from swimming after receiving a 20-month doping ban from an arbitration panel.

You can also use punnet to refer to the amount of fruit that a punnet contains. ...a punnet of strawberries. "a punnet of strawberries". ) inserted into his body. The arbitration decision says Dwyer worked with a nutritionist who suggested the pellets, which are inserted into the skin tissue near the hip. The arbitrators gave Dwyer a slightly reduced sentence in part because he argued that he wasn't using the pellets for performance but rather to mitigate "health concerns which were causing him to have a high degree of stress". 5. ruminate [ˈruːmɪneɪt] 沉思, 深思 I. FORMAL to think about something very carefully. to think about something very carefully. If you ruminate on something, you think about it very carefully.

It's no skin off my nose. no skin off my nose if we go home. 7. in the team VS on the team: "on" vs "in" tends to be the result of metaphor - how we understand things in terms of other things. "in" makes sense if you think of a group of people, and the team member is in the middle of that group. However, imagine writing the team names out on paper, compiling the team list. The player's name would be on the page, and if the page defines the team (which it does, in terms of listing who is in the team), then the player is on the team. So, when people say "in the team" they may be thinking of an actual group of people, standing by the pitch, say, and when they say "on the team", they may be thinking of a list of players, and perhaps the process of deciding who is on that list. As another example, think of someone saying "I play in a softball team". They are thinking of the other players. But in another situation they might say "I'm on the team for the easter tournament", meaning that they have been selected, ie added to a list. Both metaphors are equally valid, and so "on" and "in" are both acceptable. On reflection, I could have simplified this explanation by saying that "team" has multiple meanings: one meaning is the actual group of players, and another meaning is the list of players. We use "in" with the group and "on" with the list. 8. 关于virgin Mary 玩笑的回应: It was a joke and it was a hugely bad decision, poor taste.

The fuselage also serves to 用于 position control and stabilization surfaces in specific relationships to lifting surfaces, which is required for aircraft stability and maneuverability. 9.

In Newtonian mechanics, the centrifugal force is an inertial force that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference. It is directed away from an axis passing through the coordinate system's origin and parallel to the axis of rotation. A major difference between centrifugal and centripetal force is the direction of each. Centrifugal takes place along the radius of the circle from the center out towards the object. For centripetal, it is the opposite, taking place also along the radius of the circle, but from the object in towards the center. centripetal [senˈtrɪpɪtl̩] force 向心力: a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed towards the centre around which the body is moving. A centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved path. Its direction is always orthogonal to the motion of the body and towards the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path. Isaac Newton described it as "a force by which bodies are drawn or impelled, or in any way tend, towards a point as to a centre". In Newtonian mechanics, gravity provides the centripetal force responsible for astronomical orbits. 13. 美从叙利亚撤军: But the withdrawal has left Kurdish-led forces in Syria that have long allied with the US vulnerable to a planned incursion by the Turkish military, which brands them terrorists.
