释义 | 〔automatic〕The wordsautomatic pilot or automatic transmission bring to mind mechanical devices that operate with minimal human intervention. Yet the wordautomatic, which goes back to the Greek word automatos, "acting of one's own will, self-acting, of itself,” made up of two parts,auto-, "self,” and -matos, "willing,” is first recorded in English in 1748 with reference to motions of the body, such as the peristaltic action of the intestines: "The Motions are called automatic from their Resemblance to the Motions of Automata, or Machines, whose Principle of Motion is within themselves.”Although the writer had machines in mind,automatic could be used of living things, a use we still have, although not the primary one. The association ofautomatic chiefly with machinery may represent one instance of many in which we have come to see the world in mechanical terms. 这些单词automatic pilot 或 automatic transmission 带给我们只需最小人力介入即可操作的机械装置的意识。 但这个词automatic, 追溯至希腊单词 automatos, “以个人自身的意志行动,自我行动,” 由两部分组成,auto-, “自我的,”和 -matos, “意愿,” 以作为身体运动的含义于1748年首次记录于英语,如体内的肠蠕动: “这些运动被称为身体内自动的运动,是与机器运动的相似性得出的,其运动原理在于其自身内部。”虽然作者头脑中有机器印象,automatic 可以被用于生物,这种用法虽然不是基本的,但我们仍在使用。 主要将automatic 与机器相联系可能反映了我们眼中的世界越加机械化的情况 〔forklift〕A small industrial vehicle with a power-operated pronged platform that can be raised and lowered for insertion under a load to be lifted and moved.叉式升降机:一小工业用车,用一块可升降的自动的叉状铁板插在重物下方来提升或移动重物〔automatism〕The state or quality of being automatic.自动性:自动的状态或性质〔synchromesh〕An automotive gear-shifting system in which the gears are synchronized at the same speeds before engaging to effect a smooth shift.同步齿轮系:一种自动的齿轮转动系统,在齿轮接合以产生顺利的转动之前齿轮以同样速度运转〔smart〕Of, relating to, or being a highly automated device, especially one that imitates human intelligence:自动的:高度自动化装置的,特指能模仿人工智能的,与之有关的,或本身如此的:〔automatic〕Acting or operating in a manner essentially independent of external influence or control:自动的:以一种基本上不受外界影响或控制的方式行动或操作的:〔shut〕To stop operating, especially automatically:停止运行:停止运行,尤指自动的:〔reflex〕Produced as an automatic response or reaction:本能的:作为自动的反应而产生的:〔automatic〕Capable of firing continuously until ammunition is exhausted or the trigger is released:自动的:能够持续连接射击直至弹药用光或松开扳机的:〔churn〕To produce in an abundant and automatic manner:大量产出:以一种丰富的和自动的方式产生:〔automatism〕The involuntary functioning of an organ or other body structure that is not under conscious control, such as the beating of the heart or the dilation of the pupil of the eye.自动作用:身体器官或其它结构不受意识控制的,自动的功能,如心跳或瞳孔放大〔autonomic〕Occurring involuntarily; automatic:自动的:不由自主地发生的;自动的:〔tabulator〕A mechanism on a typewriter for setting automatic stops or margins for columns.跳格键:打字机上为打出自动的停顿并成为纵行间所留空白而设计的一种机械装置〔automatic〕an automatic light switch; a budget deficit that caused automatic spending cuts.自动电源开关;预算赤字导致了自动的缩减开支 |
