技工

Because thanks to these schools our early mechanics,especially in the New England and Middle Atlantic states,were generally literate and at home in arithmetic and in some aspects of geometry and trigonometry.

正是因为有了这些学校，我们的早期技工才普遍能读会写，并精通算术及部分几何和三角，这种情况在新英格兰和大西洋中部各洲尤为可见。

Because thanks to these schools our early mechanics,especially in the New England and Middle Atlantic states,were generally literate and at home in arithmetic and in some aspects of geometry and trigonometry.

正是因为有了这些学校，我们的早期技工才通通能读会写，并精通算术及部分几何和三角，这种情况在新英格兰和大西洋中部各洲尤为可见。

Because thanks to these schools our early mechanics ,especially in the New England and Middle Atlantic states, were generally literate and at home in arithmetic and in some aspects of geometry and trigonometry.

正是因为有了这些学校，我们的早期技工才普遍能够读书认字、精通算术、并且了解一些几何和三角，尤其是在新英格兰和大西洋中部各州。

Because thanks to these schools our early mechanics ,especially in the New England and Middle Atlantic states, were generally literate and at home in arithmetic and in some aspects of geometry and trigonometry.

由于这些学校的存在，我们的技工们基本上都识文断字、熟知算术及某些几何学与三角学知识，这种情况在新英格兰和大西洋中部各州尤为普遍。

Why mention the elementary schools Because thanks to these schools our early mechanics, especially in the New England and Middle Atlantic states, were generally literate and at home in arithmetic and in some aspects of geometry and trigonometry.

为什么要提小学教育？正是因为有了这些学校，我们的早期技工才普遍能够读书认字、精通算术、并且了解一些几何和三角，尤其是在新英格兰和大西洋中部各州。

Because thanks to any educates our early mechanics, especially in the New Engearth and Middle Atlantic states, were generally literate and at habitat in arithmetic and in some aspects of geometry and trigonometry.

正是因该有了这一些学院，咱们的早期技工才普遍能读会写，并高手算术及部份几何和三角，这种情况在新英格兰和大西洋中部各州尤为可见。

Because thanks to these schools our early mechanics, especially in the New England and Middle Atlantic states, were generally literate and at home in arithmetic and in some aspects of geometry and trigonometry.

this往回复指前述的最后内容，也就是前一段末句谈到的&技工们有文化并且熟知算术、几何学、三角学&，从而可知这种教育优势就是熟练掌握数学。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
