So if you're going to get past five, then you're going to want to say five times rather than try to say quintupler or sextuple.

所以如果你要说超过五倍，那么你要说 five times，而不是 quintupler 或 sextuple。

But can we blame those who looked and failed to see what Galileo saw, if we remember that to use a telescope at the limit of its powers calls for long experience and intimate familiarity with one's instrument?

好，我不确定你是否记得，但我绝对记得我们有关于原子弹和广岛信息，我绝对记得我们栏目中倍。

We say " four minutes past" , " six minutes past" and we drop minutes with the fives: " five past" , " twenty past" .

我们会说“four minutes past”几点过四分，“six minutes past”几点过六分；但是，如果分钟是5倍时，我们不会加minutes。

So, our lowest common multiple will be the product of all these numbers and this equals 180.

所以最小公倍就是这些乘积，等于 180。

That's a useful starting place because we now know that any viable offering to the sea monsters must be a multiple of 1001.

When the additional distance it travels from one layer to the next, and back, is a multiple of the wavelength — such as 500 or 1000 extra nanometers — the crests and valleys of the waves match each other.

如果光从一层到下一层再回来所走额外距离刚好是波长倍——比如额外五百或一千奈米——波峰和波谷就会配对上。
