The more surface area in relation to your volume or mass you have, the more the impact gets distributed and softened, and also the more air resistance will slow you down.

It seems that heat loss - the total heat transferred away from something, is linked to the surface area or total area of the body's outer surfaces when exposed to the cold.

似乎热量散失 —— 从某物传送出去的总热量 —— 跟表面积或身体暴露在寒冷之中的外部总面积有关。

Surface area has a lot of power there.

表面积就有很大的影响。

Even if you rip off the nearest door to provide a bigger area to catch her with, you still wouldn't be able to save her anyway.

就算你就近扇门，来提供更大的表面积来接住她，你也还是无法救她命。

And that's because past work by other scientists has suggested that in many cases, a larger cortical surface area is often associated with higher intelligence.

那是因为过去其他科学家的研究显示，在许多案例中，更大的皮质表面积，通常和较高的智力有关。

What I need to do is increase that surface area.

我需要做的就是增加脚的表面积。

And that volume grows faster than surface area.

体积比表面积增长得快。

A decreased blink rate accompanied with an increase in the surface area of the exposed eye, commonly associated with looking at a screen, can lead to dry eye and fatigue.

Partners at Y Combinator, a startup accelerator, encourage founders to apply to their programmes by talking about increasing the " surface area of luck" : putting yourself in situations where you may be rejected is a way of giving luck more opportunity to strike.

创业孵化公司Y Combinator的合伙人们鼓励创业者申请他们的项目，话术是可以增加“幸运表面积”：把自己置于可能被拒绝的情况，可以增加好运降临的几率。

Because they have a larger ratio of surface area to mass, small animals lose heat more quickly than larger animals, so they have higher metabolic rates and their cells wear out more quickly.

因为它们的表面积与质量之比更大，所以小动物散热比大动物更快，所以它们有更高的代谢率，而且它们的细胞累得更快。

Dr von Herzen and his colleagues hope to use experience gathered from their latest rig to develop a platform that would cover an entire hectare of the ocean's surface-100 times the area of the one just launched.

冯·赫尔岑博士和他的同事们希望利用从他们最新平台上收集的经验来开发平台，该平台将覆盖公顷的海洋表面积——是刚刚启动的平台面积的100倍。

" Only a very small percentage of the white dwarf participates in this explosion, roughly about one millionth of the surface area… this would be an area of about, say, the city of London, " Groot added.

“白矮星中只有很小部分参与了这次爆炸，大约是其表面积的百万分之… … 这大概相当于伦敦市的面积。”格鲁特补充道。
