For the light to be trapped in two dimensions, the object's surface needed to be smooth enough to cleanly reflect most of the light into the oil layer rather than scattering it at all angles.

要把光被捕获在两维的曲线状表面上时，要求物体表面非常平滑，才足以把大部分光线干净利落地反射进油层而不是分散在所有的各个角度上。

There is no generally accepted taxonomy into which all computer networks fit, but two dimensions stand out as important: transmission technology and scale.

不存在被普遍接受的所有计算机网络都是用的分类法，但是有两个标准很重要：传输技术和规模。

In the case of silicon, it's galloped for 41 years, ever since Fairchild Semiconductor and Texas Instruments shrunk a transistor from three dimensions into two and etched it in silicon.

FORBES: Digital Rules

Frank Gehry, a godfather of contemporary American design if there is one, is shown crumpling paper or aluminium foil into a form, and then scanning the shape by computer in order to reduce it to two dimensions or make it into a model, so that a design can be refined or manufactured.
