And many human hubs transformed with the introduction of non-living modes of transport, like the automobile.

而且许多人类聚集中心转型了，因了非生物模式的交通方式，比如汽车。

But maybe that's wrong and there's an exotic but not biological way of making phosphine that no one has thought of yet.

但也可能是错的，还有一种前人未曾想过的、不寻常的、非生物的产生途径。

It was not until the 1940s that the concept of the 'environment' embracing all living and nonliving things developed.

直到 20 世纪 40 年代，涵盖所有生物和非生物的“环境”概念才得到发展。

The non-living parts of an ecosystem combine to create the conditions that will determine what kinds of living things will be able to survive there.

相互联系的非生物部分所创造的条件决定什么样的生物能在那里生存。

The non-living parts of an ecosystem include things like sunlight and temperature, air and wind, the types and amount of water available, and rocks and soil.

生态系统的非生物部分包括阳光，温度，空气，风，可利用的水的数目和种类还有土壤和岩石。

Libra is symbolized by a set of scales, the only non-living symbol in the zodiac, and is sometimes depicted as being held by Astraea, the Roman goddess of justice.

天秤座的象征是一组天平，它是黄道十二宫中唯一的非生物符号，有时被描绘成由罗马正义女神阿斯特掌。

Things like nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen move from nonliving parts of the environment — air, for example — to living things like plants and animals, and then back again to the environment.

像氮、碳和氧这样的物质从环境的非生物部分——比如空气——转移到植物和动物等生物身上，然后再回到环境中。

This enables ecologists to measure the biodiversity of an area, record data on abiotic factors, and even get a good estimate of the complexity of a local ecosystem in comparison to other sampling sites.

这使生态学家能够测量一个地区的生物多样性，记录非生物因素的数据，甚至与其他采样点相比，对当地生态系统的复杂性有一个很好的估计。

You might remember from our episodes on tissues that blood is a type of connective tissue, which means it's made of living cells suspended in a nonliving matrix, which in this case is the fluid ground substance called plasma.

你可能还记得我们关于组织的剧集，血液是一种结缔组织，这意味着它是由悬浮在非生物基质中的活细胞组成的，在这种情况下，非生物基质是一种叫做血浆的流体基础物质。

Just like other connective tissues, blood develops from mesenchyme and is made up of cells surrounded by an extracellular nonliving matrix: In this case, the ground substance is your blood plasma, which has protein fibers floating around in it.

就像其他结缔组织一样，血液由间充质发育而成，由细胞外非生物基质包围的细胞组成：在这种情况下，基础物质是你的血浆，其中漂浮着蛋白质纤维。
