Now then, if water isn't absolutely incompressible, at least it compresses very little.

可是，水虽不是绝对不可压缩，但至少是很难压缩。

The fact that water is incompressible has literally shaped the development of fish.

水不可压缩这事实从字面上影响了鱼类的发育。

Yet there is one basic difficulty to living in water --- the fact that it's incompressible.

然而，生活在水有个基本的困难——它是不可压缩的。

But now your squishable lungs are surrounded by incompressible water in the path of the blast wave.

但现在，你那可压缩的肺部正位于爆炸波路径上，被不可压缩的水体所包围。

Water is incompressible, which means not only is the blast wave not dissipated, but it passes right through your mostly water body.

水是不可压缩的， 这意味着冲击波不仅不会消散，还会直接穿过你那主要由水构成的身体。

And all of that is just for the case of incompressible fluid flow, where something compressible, like air, makes things trickier still.

所有这些都只是针对不可压缩流体流动的情况，其可压缩的东西（例如空气）使事情变得更加棘手。

And since you’re dealing with an incompressible fluid, the density is going to be the same for every point in the pipe anyway.

而且由于您正在处理不可压缩的流体， 因此无论如何管道每个点的密度都是相同的。

And since you're dealing with an incompressible fluid, the density is going to be the same for every point in the pipe anyway.

由于流体是不可压缩的，所以它保持 管任何点的密度都是相同的。

That would be like your arms and legs, which have no air in them, and they are basically incompressible like water, and would be fine.

这就像你的手臂和腿，它们内部没有空气， 基本上像水样不可压缩，因此不会受到影响。

Loosely packed dry soils tend to compress under stress, but with incompressible water unable to escape the gaps between grains, the soil can't compress and the water takes the load.

松散的干土在应力作用下容易压缩，但由于不可压缩的水无法从土粒间的缝隙逸出，土壤无法压缩，水就承担了负荷。

Loosely packed dry soils tend to compress under stress, but with incompressible water in the gaps between grains (which can't escape), the soil can't compress and the water takes the load.

松散的干土在压力下容易压缩，但由于土粒间的缝隙存在不可压缩的水（无法逸出），因此土壤无法压缩， 水可以承受负荷。

So this represents the initial energy of the blast, which then comes down and passes through the incompressible water, and then comes out without losing any energy at the water surface.

所以这代表了爆炸的初始能量，然后它向下传递并通过不可压缩的水，最后在水面处释放出来而没有损失任何能量。

Because we are made largely of water ourselves, and water is virtually incompressible, in the words of Frances Ashcroft of Oxford University, the body remains at the same pressure as the surrounding water, and is not crushed at depth.

由于在很大程度上我们本身也是由水组成的，而水——用牛津大弗朗西斯·阿什克罗夫特的话来说——“实际上是压不扁的”，因此人体仍会保持与周围水样的压力，不会被压死。
