里德

ON THE face of it, John Reader's new biography of the potato seems to have a silly title—"propitious esculent" is just a fancy way to say "helpful food"—and an even sillier subtitle.

约翰。里德尔最近为马铃薯立了一部传。印在传记封面上的书名——不过是别出心裁的把"有益食物"说成是"吉祥食物"罢了——看似愚蠢，而书的副题则更加可笑。

I've stitched Euclid's parallel postulate on to the surface. And the lines look curved. But look, I can prove to you that they're straight because I can take any one of these lines, and I can fold along it. It's a straight line.

我将欧几里德平行公设编织到表面上，这些线条看起来是弯曲的，但你看，我可以向你证明它们是直线；因为我可以拿起任何一条线，我可以沿线折叠，这是一条直线。

Works of science and mathematics, such as Euclid's Elements, are generally not represented.

科学和数学的著作，例如欧几里德的《几何原本》，是概述性的和代表性的。

Foster: What did you put in the blood at Euclid Park hospital?

你在欧几里德公园医院的血液中放了什么？

Its importance lies less in its results than in the systematic method Euclid used to develop and present them.

其重要性不在结果，而在欧几里德用来发展及呈现的系统性方法。

他的写作方式说明，欧几里德处理定量和比例的方法对他的影响有多深。

I never did anything at Euclid Park.

我没对欧几里德公园做手脚。

Let me illustrate this point by taking Euclid s elements of Geometry and Newton s Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy.

让我用欧几里德的《几何原本》和牛顿的《自然哲学的数学原理》为例来说明这一点。

Rigorous arguments first appeared in Greek mathematics , most notably in Euclid 's Elements .

严格的论证最早出现在希腊数学，特别是在欧几里德的《几何原本》。

For a few, brief moments, from Born Boulevard to Euclid Avenue...

有一段短暂的时刻从麦斯威到欧几里德

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。
