Spin locks work well in cases where lock durations are very short.

当锁被占有的时间很短时，自旋锁的效果非常好。

While spin locks are CPU-intensive and appear inefficient, they can be more efficient than suspending the thread and subsequently waking it up if the lock in question is held for a very short time.

虽然旋转锁是cpu密集型的，显得效率低下，但是如果争夺的锁被持有的时间非常短，那么旋转锁要比暂挂线程然后再唤醒它更有效率。

This locks the engine to the transmission input shaft, causing them to spin at the same speed.

这样使发动机和传动系输入油可靠地接合，使它们以相同的转速运转。
