"Changing people from a very limited functional capacity is one of the greatest parts of this technology,"

VOA: standard.2010.01.27

You need a functional form that connects the value at one state of matter, the freezing point of water to another phase change, the boiling point of water.

你需要一个函数形式来,连接物质某个态对应的温度值，如水的冰点，和另一个相变,如水的沸点。

And I'm trying to suggest that Milton's composition of this poem is actually doing something for him, that it gets him somewhere, and that it's functional in a genuine sense.

我试图设想弥尔顿的这首诗,实际上是在为他做一些事情，使他，能够真正的发挥某些作用。

I can do that because it's reversible, and I can get a functional form out.

画出路径就意味着过程是可逆的，下面我们来看这条曲线的函数形式。

That difference has functional consequences for the daughter cells in that one of the daughter cells becomes what's called here a committed progenitor cell.

而这些差异会导致子细胞,产生一些功能上的变化,其中一个子细胞会成为,所谓的定向祖细胞

It is an aspect of a text, the way in which it does communicate in other words, which has to be understood as existing in a dynamic, functional relationship with those aspects of the text in which literariness is dominant.

它是文本的一部分，它有生动的，交际功能，但是从文学根本上来说,但诗化语言支配着它。

We talked about modern imaging methods and this is an example of an fMRI, a functional MRI; a map of the brain that not only shows you the anatomy of the brain but shows you something about the chemistry of what's going on inside.

我们还说到现代影像技术,这里是一幅脑部功能性磁共振成像图像,一种功能性的磁共振,图中不仅可以看到脑部解剖学图像,也可以看到一些脑内的生化过程

That would be a very straightforward functional way to do it, but you could imagine that that's very labor intensive because you've got to separate each individual cell, and you've got to nurture it and then keep track and study what it becomes.

这是一种非常直截了当的有效方法,但你能想象这得耗费海量的人力,因为你得分离每一个细胞,并进行培养,然后还得追踪和研究它们的变化
