It basically measures the same thing as dBm, but on a more linear scale.

它和dBm测量的是一样的东西，但是是以一种更加线性的方式来表示。

There are severe limitations in measuring intelligence by a linear scale ranging from dull to bright.

用一种从愚昧排列到聪明的线性标尺来衡量智力有极大的局限性。

The reference points are water freezing or boiling, and the interpolation is linear and then that morphed into the Kelvin scale as we're going to see later.

参考点是水的冰点和沸点,插值是线性的,随后它被发展成为开氏温标,我们之后会看到。

We have an interpolation scheme between zero and 273.16 with two values for this quantity, and we have a linear interpolation that defines our temperature scale, our Kelvin temperature scale.

的两个值做线性插值,就得到了开尔文温标,直线的斜率等于水的三相点,也就是这一点处的f的值,再除以273。16，这是这条直线的斜率，这个量，f在三相点处的值。

Goddard, in the early years of the past century, established the idea that intelligence could be measured along a single, linear scale.

NEWYORKER: None of the Above

In a sense, but only if we cling to a linear scale of intelligence that places sea sponges at the bottom and humans at the top.
