For, as Rutherford has shown the assumption of the existence of nuclei, as those in question seems to be necessary in order to account for the results of the experiments on large angle scattering of the alpha rays.

因此卢瑟福,提出了原子核存在的假设，这些关于问题的假设对于,解释阿尔法粒子的,大角度散射是有必要的。

I'm going to claim that assuming that products are not identical, is a pretty safe assumption for most of the world, for most things that you're going to see in the world.

我认为假设产品不同,对大多数人来说很容易被接受,对多数情况来说

In some sense, strictly speaking they shouldn't be necessary because the fact that my specification starts with an assumption, says, hey you, who might call square root make sure that the things you call me with obey the assumption.

在某种意义上严格的来讲,它们不是必要的,因为我已经对假设做了声明,也就是说，如果你要调用我的，求平方根的函数,请确保你传递给我的,参数满足假设条件。

Milton -- this will be the working assumption that I bring to my reading of this poem -Milton sets out to prove something in Lycidas, and the most important thing that he proves is his control over the learning that he has accumulated.

弥尔顿-这是我个人对于诗歌的理解之中,极为有益的一点假设,弥尔顿旨在在里证明一些事情，他所要证明的最重要一点在于,其自身对于他所学所积累的一种完全的掌控。

Really there's no work to be done if I am handed all in sorted order so, you know, There's no work to be done if I'm handed all of the arrays in sorted order so, you know, if I demand that you give me this assumption that the cups are already sorted and then I'll sort them for you, I mean, this is kind of a cyclical argument.

如果杯子是有序排列的,那就没必要再对它进行排序了，同样如果给出的序列本身就是有序的,那也不必再做什么，如果给出这样的假设：,杯子已经有序，但仍需要对其进行排序，这像是个循环的论点。

Yeah, if you immediately said, "Well, if the vector is , then the vector looks like this.", you're making the assumption that I am writing the vector in terms of i and j.

对,如果你紧接着就说," 如果一个矢量是,那么它就像这样 ",你其实就是假设了,我是按 i 和 j 分量的形式写的这个矢量

Like the sun, it was thought to be a perfect heavenly body and, as you probably know, it was Galileo though -the Tuscan artist, the Italian astronomer 0 -who disproved just that assumption in 1610 when he published the Sidereus Nuncius .

So we're to assume we can get to any piece of data, any instruction in constant time, and the second assumption we're going to make is that the basic primitive steps take constant time, same amount of time to compute. Again, not completely true, but it's a good model, so arithmetic operations, comparisons, things of that sort, we're all going to assume are basically in that in that particular model.

因此如果我们假设在恒定的时间内,我们可以取得任何一块数据,任何一种数据结构的话,我们要做的第二个假设就是,基本的原始操作计算花费的时间是恒定的,这个假设也不是完全正确的，但这个模型其实挺不错的，因此算法操作，比较，这一类的事情，我们在这个特定的模型中都假设是基本的,操作，花费的时间是恒定相同的。
