interesting to see that a problem was known about hazardous waste and it contamination in to a water source but took several years to get the problem resolved and clean up underway.

area where the temperature is lower, the vapor will “condense” and enter the liquid state again. This would be a distillation. Atmospheric pressure is approximately 760 mm Hg; i.e., the weight of a column of mercury measuring 1 mm2 and 760 mm tall. This equates to about 29.7 inches of mercury. If we reduce the pressure above the sample that we are heating, we can reduce the boiling point of the liquid. This is referred to as a vacuum distillation or carrying out a distillation in vacuo. For example

hydrogen. | caesium | The metal is characterised by a spectrum containing two bright lines in the blue (accounting for its name). It is silvery gold, soft, and ductile. It is the most electropositive and most alkaline element. Caesium, gallium, and mercury are the only three metals that are liquid at or around room temperature. Caesium reacts explosively with cold water, and reacts with ice at temperatures above -116°C. | francium | Francium is extremely rare. Because of this its chemical and physical

科技文体翻译 – Practice Translation Exercise (Please translate the example sentences/paragraphs into English or Chinese where necessary.) 1 ．被动语态。 翻开任何一页科技文献，都可找到一定数量的被动语态，这正是科技英语的显著特征的表现：客观、真实，拒绝主观和臆断。 英语中，尤其在科技英语文体中，被动语态使用范围很广。这种语态能更客观、准确地描述事物的发展和变化。在汉语中，被动语态的使用范围有限，更多使用主动语态。在英译汉时，一般说来，大部分英语被动语态要译成汉语主动句、无主句、判断句，有时也译成被动语态，尤其是原文表示强调时。 |The machines should be handled with great care. |我们需要好好处理这些机器。 | |The results of
