When children reach adolescence, a cascade of hormones are released, causing mood swings, impulsive behavior and an unbelievable amount of eye rolling.

His invasions at one time are turned back when they literally open the dykes and flood the French armies back.

Four reservoirs in Liaoning Province have seen water levels surpassing flood alarms and have started discharging flood waters in response.

辽宁省 4 座水库水洪灾警戒，已开始泄洪应对。

Cracks and joints in a concrete  spillway have an effect on the flow inside.

混凝土泄洪道中的裂缝和接缝会影响内部水流。

The lapping waves of the open portion gradually undermine and cause it to break off in large masses like icebergs, which gives rise to a precipitous front like the discharging wall of a glacier entering the sea.

开放部分的拍打波浪逐渐破坏并使其像冰山一样大块地破裂，从而形成一个陡峭的锋面，就像冰川入海的泄洪墙一样。

So if you don't limit it to those few words, then all of a sudden you've got the floodgates are open.

因此， 如果不将此限制在那几个词上，突然间， 你就打开了泄洪的大门。

So what does this mean for the kid?

说起来 类似于神经系统大开泄洪闸？

They accuse India of opening floodgates at dams near its border with Bangladesh, causing the waters to rise.

他们指责印度在靠近与孟加拉国边境的水坝开启泄洪闸，导致水上涨。

Finally, electrical transmission lines connecting the  power plant to the grid were being threatened by the erosion along the service spillway.

最后，连接发电厂与电网的输电线路受到服务泄洪道侵蚀的威胁。

So, all dams need spillways to safely release  excess inflows and maintain the level of the reservoir once it's full.

所以，所有大坝都需要泄洪道来安全释放多余的进水量，并在水库满载后维持水。

They knew they would have  to keep operating the crippled spillway.

他们知道必须继续运行受损的泄洪道。

As for the emergency spillway, the  fundamental cause of the problem was similar: a mischaracterization of the foundation material  during and after design.

至于紧急泄洪道，问题的根本原因类似：在设计程中及之后对基础材料的描述有误。

The chute also  included anchors, steel rods tying the concrete to the foundation material below.

这个泄洪道还包括了锚固件，即连接混凝土与下方基础材料的钢杆。

Instead, many dams have a second spillway, much simpler in design - and thus less expensive to construct - to increase their  ability to discharge huge volumes of water during rare but extreme events.

相反， 许多大坝有一个二泄洪道，设计上简单得多——因此建造成本也更低——以增强其在罕见但极端事件中排放大量水的能力。

Losing  these lines or flooding the hydropower facility would hamstring the dam's only backup for making  releases from the reservoir.

失去这些泄水线路或淹没水力发电设施会削弱大坝从水库泄洪的唯一备用方案。

Although it was  well-understood that some areas of the spillway's foundation were not good  stuff (in other words, weathered rock and soil), the spillway was designed and maintained as if  the entire structure was sitting on hard bedrock.

虽然人们很清楚泄洪道的基础部分区域并不是什么好东西（换句话说，就是风化岩石和土壤）， 但泄洪道却被设计和维护得好像整个结构都建在坚硬的基岩上一样。
