老唐，淡定！蜻蜓的确不懂三角学，但该研究表明，它们的大脑结构能够进行必须的计算。你的大脑也是一样。

No, not really. I studied Latin at school, and I don't use that much. And maths - well, I never use trigonometry or calculus.

不能。我在学校学了拉丁文，但是我不经常使用。数学，我从来没用过三角法或微积分。

I could do trigonometry five years ago.

我五年能解三角题。

Frankly, I think, just seeing what people get confused on is the trigonometry.

数学，或者更准确地说，三角学，是已经使用了数百年的主要技术。

And if brains salt code just as math, we could teach it like we teach algebra or trigonometry.

如果大脑把编码当作数学，我们就可以像教代数或三角函数一样教它。

So, you know when you're revising for maths, maybe don't think" okay, today I'm gonna revise trigonometry."

所以，当你复习数学时，可能不要想着‘好，今天我要复习三角函数’。

You could review your trigonometry and your SOH-CAH-TOA.

你们可以复习一下三角学和SOH-CAH-TOA坦白的讲 我认爲。

I do have a proof for you to this effect, leveraging a little trigonometry, though I have to admit I still think the comparison to the cylinder wins out on elegance.

我确实有一个证明方法，利用了一点三角学， 不过我得承认， 我还是认为与圆柱体的比较在优雅性上更胜一筹。
