All right, so whatever isn't absorbed, like fiber, continues its journey onward through the ileocecal sphincter and into the very last part of the gastrointestinal tract: the large intestine, also known as colon.

那么，所有不能被吸收的物质，如纤维素，将沿消化道继续前，通过回盲括，入消化道的最后一分：大，也称之为结。

And then plants cannot pull enough water to survive.

然后植物就不能吸收足够的水分来生存。

The main job of the gastrointestinal system is ingestion - taking in food, digestion - breaking it down into nutrients, absorption - pulling these nutrients into the bloodstream, and finally, excretion - getting rid of waste.

消化道有四大功能：一是食，即摄入食物；二是消化，将食物分解成营养成分；三是吸收，即把营养成分吸收入血液；四是排遗，即排出不能消化吸收的废物。

The economist was not enough to absorb all his super abundant energy.

仅仅作为经济学家并不能吸收他那过剩的能量。
