Spectrum

Red and violet are at opposite ends of the spectrum. 紅色和紫色位於光譜的兩端。

A spectrum is formed by a ray of light passing through a prism. 一束光通過稜鏡就會形成光譜。

What happens if the sunlight's spectrum is magnified? 如果太陽光的光譜被放大了，會怎樣呢？

This light is passed through a prism, which breaks it up into a spectrum. 這種光通過稜鏡，而稜鏡把它分割成了一道光譜。

One way to visualize this distinction is by mapping beliefs on a spectrum. 將這種區別可視化的一種方法是將信念映射到一個範圍上。

He used a prism to break white light down into the various colors of the spectrum. 他用稜鏡把白光分解成光譜中的各種顏色。

If you were looking at the spectrum of some other star, the colors would be the same. 如果你觀察其他恆星的光譜，你會發現它們的顏色是一樣的。

I want you to notice that this spectrum is interrupted by dark lines called spectral lines. 我想讓你們注意到的是，這一光譜是被叫做光譜線的暗線所打斷的。

This impressive display is clearly visible in the light spectrum illuminating the forest floor. 在照亮雨林地面的光譜中，能夠清晰地看到這種讓人印象深刻的展示。

They were expecting to see one certain frequency or one line in the spectrum at this point here. 他們預計會看到某個特定的頻率，或者在這裏的光譜中的一條線。

If you really magnify the spectrum of the sunlight, you could identify more than 100,000 of them. 如果你真的放大太陽光的光譜，你可以分辨出多達10萬條的光譜線。

So we've got a spectrum of a beam of sunlight and it looks like the colors bleed into each other. 我們得到了一束太陽光的光譜，它看起來像是顏色在互相滲透。

We might be asked, for example, to determine what different elements could produce a spectrum that gave 5 different lines. 比如，可能會讓我們決定有哪些不同的元素可以產生一個有五條不同的譜線的光譜？

Visible light consists of different colors or wavelengths, which together make up what's called spectrum, a band of colors, like you see in a rainbow. 可見光由不同的顏色或波長組成，它們共同組成了所謂的光譜（一段顏色），就像你在彩虹中看到的那樣。

If you divide this spectrum into 10 units and you find yourself at Position 7, then there is little sense in trying to convince someone at Position 1. 如果將這個範圍劃分為10個區間，你發現自己處於第7位，那麼試圖説服處於第1位的人就沒有什麼意義了。

The most heated arguments often occur between people on opposite ends of the spectrum, but the most frequent learning occurs from people who are nearby. 最激烈的爭論往往發生在處於這個範圍兩端的人之間，但最頻繁的學習則發生在處於附近區間的人身上。

You all know how when you take a crystal prism and pass a beam of sunlight through it, you get a spectrum, which looks like a continuous band of rainbow colors. 你們都知道，拿起一個水晶稜鏡，讓一束陽光通過它，就會得到一個光譜，看起來就像一條連續的彩虹色帶。

Now, Laser Spectroscopy, which is the focus of your assignment, works by measuring very precisely what parts of the spectrum are absorbed by different substances. 現在來説説激光光譜學，這是你們作業的重點，激光光譜學可以非常精確地測量光譜的哪些部分被不同物質吸收。

For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum. 例如，經過訓練的觀察者主要通過對光譜中出現的簡單線條的精確分析來獲取關於恆星的大量信息。

We shall hear views from across the political spectrum. 我們要聽取各個政治派別的看法。

She'd seen his moods range across the emotional spectrum. 她見過他在各種情感間的情緒變化。

Politicians across the political spectrum have denounced the act. 政界圈各派政客都譴責了這種行為。

The two politicians represent opposite poles of the political spectrum. 這兩位政治家代表了各種政治傾向中的兩個極端。

This creates a spectrum of colours at the edges of objects which blurs the image. 這在物體的邊緣產生了一系列顏色，使圖像變得模糊不清。

He shone a spectrum through a second prism. 他讓光譜穿過第二個稜鏡。

Newton predicted what would happen if he shone the spectrum through a second prism. 牛頓猜測如果他把光譜穿過第二個稜鏡會發生什麼。

After Newton shone a spectrum of different colors through the prism, he saw white light. 當牛頓讓不同顏色的光譜穿過稜鏡後，他看到了白光。 ^[1]
