颜色是美术中最具表现力的要素，同时它也是光在物体表面的反射。
This turns a car's momentum into large amounts of heat and light - note the way Formula One brake discs glow yellow hot.
这样，赛车动能转化为大量的光和热，也就是一级方程序的制动圆盘受热呈现黄色。
You certainly short- cut with a vengeance. You feel your way with the speed of light, by some hyperrational process, to truth.
你肯定是拼命找寻着捷径，靠某种超理智的程序，以光的速度摸索着真理的。
This does not involve holographic images of the usual sort, but is a way of projecting beams of light wherever they are needed.
