I remember I used to also get shoes at a discount at the time, some strings and dampeners.

我记得当时我还会买打折的鞋子、些绳子和阻。

Dampers are mechanisms designed to absorb the energy from a building's movement, counteracting the effect of the wind.

阻是设计用来吸收建筑物运动产生的能量，抵消风的影响的装置。

But LeMessurier had another state-of-the-art solution— a tuned mass damper.

但 LeMessurier 有另先进的解决方案——调谐质量阻。

This alone wasn't enough to topple the tower thanks to the mass damper.

多亏了质量阻，仅此项还不足推倒塔。

It has an elastic element plus the damper, but it's the elastic element.

它包含个弹性元件和个阻，但关键在于那个弹性元件。

So for instance, dampeners, these devices that dissipate the motion, vibrations, for instance.

比如阻，类能消散运动和振动的装置。

These are stockbridge dampers that help suppress wind-induced vibration on long cables and signs.

些是桥式阻，有助于抑制长电缆和标志上的风致振动。

Okay, now before you light the fire, slide the damper, this handle, to the right to open the chimney.

好的，现在在你点火之前，将阻，个把手，向右滑动打开烟囱。

In addition to the techniques that tall buildings use to tame the wind, some are also fitted with dampers that counteract motion where it occurs.

除了上述“驯服”风的技术外，些高楼还安装了阻，在建筑物发生运动时抵消运动。

Take a look at the very first Practical Engineering video about Tuned Mass Dampers to learn about how wind-induced motion can be mitigated in skyscrapers.

观看有关调谐质量阻的第个实用工程视频，了解如何减轻摩天大楼中的风引起的运动。

Across all three sites, when it came to  lowering the caissons, hydraulic dampers in each corner helped to absorb the force of  these massive structures hitting the seabed.

在所有三个地点，当需要降低沉箱时，每个角落的液压阻都有助于吸收些巨大结构撞击海床的力量。

The effects of vortices can be mitigated through using a tuned mass damper (a device to reduce vibrations) to lessen the movement, as well as designing the structure to disrupt the wind flow.

漩涡的影响可通过使用调谐质量阻（减少振动的装置）减少运动来缓解，或者通过设计结构破坏风的流动来减轻。
