Collagen accompanies the extracellular matrix in providing the structure and tensile strength of connective tissues like our ligaments and tendons.

胶原伴随细胞外基质，为韧带和肌腱等结缔组提供结构和度。

Glulam, on the other hand, glues boards together in the same direction, forming massive beams with tensile strength comparable to steel.

Now, I notice you're using titanium. Did you give any consideration to carbon nanotubes? They're lighter, cheaper, and have twice the tensile strength.

我注意到你用的是钛金属，你有没有考虑过用碳纳米管，它们更轻更便宜，伸度则是钛的两倍。

As a result, wood lacked steel's tensile strength or concrete's compressive strength — each necessary to support tall buildings and battle the powerful winds found at high altitudes.

所以木材缺乏钢铁的度或混凝土的压度，而这些都是支撑高层建筑和对高海拔地区风所必需的。

A spider's web is incredibly strong though, with a tensile strength 5 times greater than steel, and yet is incredibly lightweight- a single strand that encircled the globe would weigh only 1 pound 2 ounces.

蜘蛛网非常坚固，度是钢的 5 倍，而且非常轻——单根蜘蛛网环绕地球仅重 1 磅 2 盎司。

He was suddenly confused, not about the ethics of the matter, for the impossibility of it was sheerly indicated from all angles but simply confused, and for a moment his usual grace, the tensile strength of his balance, was absent.

他突然感到困惑，不是因为这件事的伦理问题，因为从各个角度都清楚地表明这是不可能的，但只是困惑，有那么一刻，他一贯的优雅，他平衡的张力，都消失。
