Dressed up in white flannels I went over to his lawn a little after seven and wandered around rather ill-at-ease among swirls and eddies of people I didn't know— though here and there was a face I had noticed on the commuting train.

晚上七点过，我身穿套白法兰绒便装走过去到他的草坪上，很不自在地在群群我不认识的人中间晃晃去——虽然偶尔也有个我在区间火车上见过的面孔。

Okay, how do you prevent eddy currents in a transformer?

你如何预防变压器中的涡流损耗？

Eddies and whirlpools, the mind new waves, the oceans beneath one, it's all fascinating.

大大小小的漩涡中似乎蕴藏着个神奇的水下世界，这足以让孩子们着迷。

They swim up to the ocean surface to poo, and this poo can be spread in an eddy – a large current of water moving in a circular motion, like a giant whirlpool.

它们游到海面上排泄，而这些排泄物会在涡流中扩——大量水流做圆周运动形成涡流，就像个巨大的漩涡。

So we were installing what's called an " eddy covariance tower, " which is a series of instruments that measures the exchange of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, between the land and the atmosphere.

所以我们安装了个被称为“涡度协方差”的装置，这种装置由多种仪器构成，用于测量地面与大气温室气体的交换，例如二氧化碳和甲烷。

" The ocean current is a series of complex, interconnected eddies, " says Siegert.

“洋流是复杂且相互关联的漩涡。

In 2004, using the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists saw the eddies of a distant cloud of dust and gas around a star, and it reminded them of Van Gogh's " Starry Night."

2004年，通过哈勃太空望远镜科学家观测到颗遥远恒星周围的气体和尘埃云，这让他们想到了梵高的《星夜》。

If the Nautilus was submerged during these losses of balance, we heard the resulting noises spread under the waters with frightful intensity, and the collapse of these masses created daunting eddies down to the ocean's lower strata.

当这些冰群的平衡破坏了的时候，诺第留斯号便潜入水中；声音传到下面，强烈惊人，冰群下沉，造成深而阔的可怕的水涡；力量直到冰洋很深的水层。

And look, if I shake it, to mimic the action of a waterfall, swirling and frothing in a violent eddy, you can see that all of the material here is now held in suspension.

看，如果我晃动它，模仿瀑布的状态使它旋转、发泡，形成个高速的漩涡，你可以看到，里面所有的物质现在都处于悬浮状态。

The sea was very rough in the straits, full of eddies formed by the counter–currents, and the chopping waves broke her course, whilst it became very difficult to stand on deck.

海峡中的水流非常急湍，到处都是逆流造成的漩涡。唐卡德尔号走得非常吃力，急促的海浪阻碍旨它的前进。如今在甲板上，很难再站稳脚步。

Rare events known as benthic storms – which are usually related to eddies on the surface – can also cause powerful, sporadic currents that can sweep away material on the seabed.

被称为底栖风暴的罕见事件——通常与海面上的漩涡有关——也会引起强大的、零星的洋流，把海底的物质卷走。

To and fro I paced before this skeleton—brushed the vines aside—broke through the ribs—and with a ball of Arsacidean twine, wandered, eddied long amid its many winding, shaded colonnades and arbors.

我在这具骨架前踱踱去—把葡萄藤拨—挤进肋骨里面去—拿着团阿萨西斯麻绳，在它众多曲折、荫蔽的柱廊和凉亭之中转转去，漫游了好阵子。

Its wild water defied the frost, and it was in the eddies only and in the quiet places that the ice held at all.

河流湍急无法结冰。只有河湾处和水流平缓的地方才结了冰。

The air currents disperse in eddies and swirls instead of flowing away in streams, which means droplets won't travel as far.

气流分成漩涡状而不是像溪流那样流动，这意味着液滴不会传播那么远。

As a cloud collapses, small eddies in the gas would get amplified, and would create an overall spin.

当云崩溃时，气体中的小漩涡会被放大，从而形成整体的旋转。

Eddies are circular currents of water that are likely a major driver of subsurface events, CSIRO suggested.

CSIRO表示，漩涡是种环状水流，它可能是地下活动的主要驱动力。

An eddy is a large current of water moving in a circular motion.

涡流是指做圆周运动的大量水流。

Ocean eddies can affect acidity levels, oxygen levels and nutrient concentrations in the ocean.

海洋漩涡会影响海洋的酸度、含氧量和营养物质浓度。

They probably formed along with Jupiter, coalescing from the eddies and whorls around the proto-Jupiter as it formed billions of years ago.

它们可能是与木星起形成的，在数十亿年前，从围绕着原始木星的物质螺旋中产生。

The engineer whistled, the train started, and soon disappeared, mingling its white smoke with the eddies of the densely falling snow.

司机拉响了汽笛，火车动了，转眼之间车已经在白色的烟雾和飞舞的雪花混乱交错的原野里消失了。
