In fact, it took the same number of steps as it did in the other case, because each time I'm cutting it down by a half.

因为每次我都把问题的规模,缩小一半，这很棒，好，接下来让我们这么做。

In this case, the basic column of air is twelve and a half feet long and there are something called "Partials" or the "Harmonic series" That happens in anything, on a string instrument or whatever, but on the horn it's very distinct and that's what makes the different notes.

像这样,基本空气柱有十二个,每个半英尺长,圆号能发出分音,或泛音列,弦乐器或是,其他别的乐器中都有,但在圆号上,效果相当不同,这就是它能奏出不同音符的原因

As much as we know about tobacco in the United States and the fact that there are only half the number of people smoking than used to be the case, it's still expected to rise by 45% worldwide By 2030 the deaths attributed to smoking will increase from four to ten million.

就我所知美国的烟民情况,在美国吸烟的人数,只有过去的一半,在世界范围内仍有预计45%的增长,到2030年,死于吸烟的人数,将由四百万增长至一亿

You wouldn't be expected to be able to guess that this would happen, because using any kind of simple theory, we would, in fact, predict that this would not be the case, but what we find experimentally is that it's more stable to have half filled d orbital than to have a 4 s 2, and a 3 d 4.

你们不用预期有能力,猜出这个会发生，因为使用任一种简单的理论，我们事实上可以预测不会是那种情况，但是我们在实验中发现的,是半填充d轨道比,4s23d4更加稳定。

And in the even case, I'd square, divide by half, call this again: in the odd case, I go b minus 1 and then multiply by a.

就直接求a的平方的二分之b次方，如果是奇数的话，就去求a的b-1次方乘以a，以此递归下去。
