鼻孔

The tiniest deviation from any of these evolutionary shifts, and you might now be licking algae from cave walls or lolling walrus-like on some stony shore or disgorging air through a blowhole in the top of your head before diving sixty feet for a mouthful of delicious sandworms.

如果在生物进化过程中，发生一丁点儿的偏差，你现在就有可能是攀附在洞穴墙壁上的青苔，或者是懒散垂在礁石上海象，头顶上的鼻孔喷着气，正准备跳下六十英尺尝一口美味的小海鲜呢。

For example, we can focus on where it enters and leaves the body at the nostrils.

What for that, says Mr Dixon, but before he came over farmer Nicholas that was a eunuch had him properly gelded by a college of doctors, who were no better off than himself.

彼生有巨角，毛色金黄，鼻孔散发芳香，若袅袅轻烟。本岛妇女遂撇下生面团与擀面杖，与公牛殿下戴上串串雏菊花环，随彼而去。&&

Think of the dictionary of sound and scent and recollection that unfolds before a real wild beast as it comes out from its lair every evening, with the knowledge that in a few minutes it will be hieing along to some distant hunting ground where all the joy and fury of the chase awaits it, think of the crowded sensations of the brain when every rustle, every cry, every bent twig, and every whiff across the nostrils means something, something to do with life and death and dinner.

它们会依靠这些头脑中的认识，一路疾走奔向那遥远的狩猎场。那里有追捕猎物的畅快和狂热在等着它们；想想它所听到每一声唏嗦，每一声鸣叫，每一声压弯细枝的声音，它脑海中纷乱紧张的感觉，每一股从鼻孔喘出的气息都意味着生死存亡与猎食。

The offbeat character of the Kiwi bird has been developed after millions of years of isolation on the New Zealand islands: they are chubby flightless, nocturnal birds with hair-like feathers, they breathe through nostrils at the end of their beaks, the female lays eggs that are half a kilogram in weight (about 20% of body weight), which the male incubates .

鹬鸵不寻常的特性是经过千百万年在新西兰岛屿上离群索居发展而来的：它们是体态丰满、不会飞的夜行鸟；羽毛像体毛一样纤细；通过喙末端的鼻孔呼吸；雌鸟产蛋，蛋重半公斤(约为体重的20％)，雄鸟孵蛋。

A third experiment revealed that each of a person's two nostrils inhales distinct smells, pulled from non-overlapping regions in the air.

试验3：试验结果显示，人的两个鼻孔各自吸入不同的气味，这些气味来自于鼻子两边互不重叠的气体空间。

It itched till the tears come into my eyes.

He could smell honeysuckle on the breeze and the touch of it in his nostrils made his own rank sweat even more pungent as the delicate fragrance shifted in the air and was gone.

They pulled it out of their noses and rubbed it on paper.

他们把鼻孔里挖出来的东西涂抹到纸上。

According to the clear water experiment, aeration performance of the new equipment is good with high total oxygen transfer coefficient and oxygen utilization ratio.

曝气设备的动力效率在叶轮转速为120rpm～150rpm时取得最大值，此时氧利用率和充氧能力也具有较高值。

The environmental stability of that world - including its crushing pressures and icy darkness - means that some of its most famous inhabitants have survived for eons as evolutionary throwbacks, their bodies undergoing little change.

稳定的海底环境─包括能把人压扁的压力和冰冷的黑暗─意谓海底某些最知名的栖居生物已以演化返祖的样态活了万世，形体几无变化。
