As you say, 'feet' is an example of a measurement for height, length and distance.

就像你说，feet（英尺）长度和距离度量。

Scientists call this distance one astronomical unit, or AU.

科学家们将这个距离定为天文，或缩写为 AU。

The light year is a unit of distance.

光年距离。

As a unit of distance, it's convenient for astronomers, but it's a terrible one if you're doing the Kessel Run.

它对天文学家来说个很方便距离，但如果你在做凯塞尔航行，它就很糟糕。

Traditional units of distance such as the Iranian Parasang reflected how a person could walk in a certain amount of time.

传统距离，如伊朗帕勒桑，反映一个人在一定时间内走路程。

A light year is a unit of distance not time.

光年一个距离而不一个时间。

Each window represents a unit of distance, and each such unit is passed in an equal unit of time.

每个窗口代表一个距离, 每个这样在相等时间内通过。

Kind  of like the units here are square units whereas a distance in our diagram would be a kind  of linear unit.

有点像这里平方，而我们图中距离一种线。

They use a distance called the parsec (a contraction of parallax and second), based on a universal measure called the stellar parallax and equivalent to 3.26 light-years.

他们用距离“秒差距”基于一种普遍使用、名叫恒视差量度方法，相当于3.26光年。

According to this paradox of motion, a runner crosses a series of units of distance from the beginning to the end of the racecourse.

根据这个运动悖论, 跑步者从赛马场起点到终点, 会穿越一系列距离。

Fathom is a unit of distance about six feet that originated from the old English fathom, which could mean to embrace or outstretched arms, hence six feet.

Fathom 一个大约 6 英尺距离，起源于古英语 fathom，可能意味着拥抱或伸出手臂，因此 6 英尺。

You scoff, remembering that a parsec is a unit of distance, not time, when suddenly your ship powers down and a boarding party is beating down the outside hatch.

你嗤之以鼻， 记住秒差距距离，而不时间，突然你船停电了， 登船队正在敲打外面舱口。

Yeah, Coulomb's law gives the electrostatic force  as the Coulomb constant times charge 1 times charge 2 all divided by the square of the distance  between centers of charge all times unit vector r.

，库仑定律给出静电力等于库仑常数乘以电荷 1 乘以电荷 2 除以电荷中心之间距离平方乘以矢量 r。

There are just more tick marks to cover per unit distance Also, a nice side effect of the term real estate is that it aligns naturally with the fact that it comes in units of distance squared.

每距离需要覆盖更多刻度线此外，“不动产” 一词一个很好副作用， 它自然地与它以距离平方为事实相一致。

Since each window represents the same unit of time, it follows that four units of time are equal to eight units of time or that four units of distance equal eight units of distance, which is absurd.

由于每个窗口代表相同时间, 因此四个时间等于八个时间, 或者四个距离等于八个距离, 这荒谬。
