Normally, these holes are arranged in a hexagonal pattern, but the algorithm generated a bizarre flower-like pattern of holes that no human would have thought of trying.

通常情况下，这些小孔是以一种六角形的图案排列的，但是该新型运算法则却生成了一种奇异的小孔花形图案，这是人类无法想到去尝试的。

Full of holes, texture, pattern and all shiny and bright with great reflective surfaces.

各种孔洞、纹理、图案和光滑的反光面。

When the hooks align with one of the punched holes, they are able able to pass through the hole with a thread, thus creating the required stitch to form the pattern.

吊钩对准一个打孔时，可以带线过孔，织出纹样里的一针来（译者注，这里正确的描述应该是：每个孔的位置对应一根经线，根据打孔或不打孔决定提或不提起经线，并交织一次）。

ECONOMIST: Monitor

In the filaments, the same cross-sectional pattern of holes is preserved, but on a microscopic scale.

In the same way, the pattern of holes in a crystal fibre can create the equivalent for light of a graphite core and a diamond cladding.
