If the company increases the number of shares through a split that is not dilution because it doesn't really mean anything.

如果公司通过股票分割来增加总股数,这不是摊薄,因为没有发生实质性变化

If you're not updating some variable by incrementing it or decrementing it -- if you're not changing anything, presumably the conditions are never going to evaluate to false or the opposite, so you're just going to have an infinite loop, which might be your goal, but odds are it's not.

如果你不通过增加或减少它来改变一些变量,-如果你不改变什么，大概那个条件永远不会变成错误的,或相反的，所以你将得到一个无限循环，那可能是你的目标，但可能也不是。

And what an agonist does is increases the effect of neurotransmitters, either by making more neurotransmitters or stopping the cleanup of neurotransmitters, or in some cases by faking a neurotransmitter, by mimicking its effects.

兴奋剂会增加神经递质的作用效果,有可能是通过释放更多的神经递质而实现,也可能是通过阻止神经递质的排出而实现,也有时候是通过伪造神经递质,通过模仿神经递质的效果来实现的

I've got to find them by experimenting, by putting other bodies and seeing how they react and then finding out what's the force that acts on a body when it's placed in this or that situation.

我得通过实验找出这些力,我会增加其它物体,观察其反应,求出当它处在这种或者那种情况下时,作用在物体上的力

And the electrical energy is the product of the charge on the electron times the voltage which is the potential difference through which the electron was accelerated. And so this allows me to, by increasing the voltage, increase the energy on the electron.

电子能量是电子上的电荷数,乘以电压的结果,这是种内在的差距,通过它电子运动得以加速，这也让我，通过增强电压，来增加电子能量。

That in many cases, I can gain efficiency if I'm willing to give up space. Having said that though, there may still be a problem, or there ought to be a problem that may be bugging you slightly, which is how do I guarantee that my hash function takes any input into exactly one spot in the storage space?

普遍存在的增益和权衡,在许多的例子中,可以通过牺牲空间而得到效率方面的增加,话说回来，仍然存在一个问题,或者应该会有一个问题困扰着你,就是我如何保证我的哈希函数能够准确将,任一输入映射到相应的唯一的存贮空间中去？
