It knows all the context of what the student is doing, and it understands that those ellipses are there to draw clouds, which I think is kind of mind-blowing.

它知道学生正在做的事情所处的环境，它知道那些椭圆是用来画云的，我认为这有令人兴奋。

So what ends up happening is that I could almost fill in the ellipses.

最后的结果是，我几乎可以把这些省略的部分填满。

Not only that, the Moon orbits the Earth on an ellipse.

不仅此，月球绕地球公转的轨道是椭圆形的。

It has two points, called foci, which act as a combined center for an ellipse.

它有两个，称为，为一个椭圆的联合中心。

An ellipse with zero eccentricity would just be a regular old circle.

偏心率为零的椭圆就是一个普通的圆。

这份粗略的文字记录还略去了三处，特朗普均为说话人的内容。

For one thing, it's not a perfect circle, it's quite an elongated ellipse.

至少不是一个标准的圆形，而更像是一个拉长的椭圆。

In 2012, the landing ellipse for the Curiosity Lander was only 4 miles wide by 12 miles long, an area more than 200 times smaller than Viking's.

在2012年，好奇号的椭圆着陆区仅有4英里宽，12英里长，比海盗号的小两百多倍。

Unlike an ellipse, there's no exact geometric definition for an " oval" , but they can be constructed by joining other arcs of different radii.

与椭圆不同，卵形没有确切的几何定义，但它们可以通过连接其他不同半径的弧来构建。

An ellipse is an asymmetrically shaped closed oval.

任何椭圆都是对称封闭的椭圆形。

As Kepler showed, the earth's orbit is an ellipse, with the sun at one of the two focal points.

就像开普勒曾指出的，地球的轨道是个椭圆，相对以太阳为中心绕起来的话有两个。

And as if they were cuboidal cells that got stretched tall, their nuclei also are stretched into an ellipse.

由于它们是立方体细胞，被拉伸得很高，它们的细胞核也被拉伸成椭圆形。

Remember too that the Moon's orbit around the Earth is an ellipse.

同样要记住的是，月亮绕地球的公转轨道是个椭圆。

Eccentricity measures how flattened an ellipse is compared to a circle.

偏心率衡量的是椭圆与圆相比的扁平度。

Weighing all the possibilities, the computer spits out the potential area of impact in the form of a landing ellipse.

权衡过所有的可能性，计算出一个可能的接触区域，一个椭圆形的着陆区。

Simply put, eccentricity tells how much the ellipse deviates from a perfect circle.

简单地说，离心率表示椭圆与正圆的偏离程度。

As the planet orbits the star, it makes a big circle (or ellipse) .

当行星围绕恒星运行时，它会形成一个大圆(或椭圆)。

Well, an ellipse is a shape that resembles a kind of squashed circle.

椭圆是一种类似于被压扁的圆的形状。

Kepler tells us that orbits are ellipses, which are like circles with some added eccentricity.

开普勒告诉我们，轨道是椭圆，就像增加了一些偏心率的圆。
