每當(dāng)做試驗時,他總是對所獲得的結(jié)果檢查兩遍。
* A magnetic needle will point toward the magnetic north pole.
磁針總是指向磁北扱。
3. 表示許可、可能性
這種用法相當(dāng)于情態(tài)動詞can,可譯為“可以”、“會”、“能”等。如:
* If you are developing a video for the web you will use a popular compression format with high compression and a low resolution.
如果你在制作網(wǎng)上視頻材料,可以使用低分辨率和高壓縮率的常用壓縮格式。
* These electrons will not pass into the phototube because of the insulation on the metal plate.
由于金屬板上有絕緣層,這些電子不能進(jìn)入光電管。
* This will result in the fatigue fracture of the piston rod.
這樣活塞桿就會產(chǎn)生疲勞斷裂。
4. 表示虛擬、條件、假設(shè)
可譯為“要”、“將要”、“會”、“就會”等,或靈活翻譯。如:
* If a laser beam were not so intense, it would not be able to melt metals.
如果激光束不那么強烈,它就不能熔化金屬。
* Without gravity there would be no air and no sound of any kind.
如果沒有重力,就不會有空氣和任何聲音。
