But for whatever reasons the disease remained generally quiescent for another twenty years.
然而,管什么原因,那种疾病总来说悄无声息地潜伏了随后20年。
The oral microbiota is found in saliva, the surface of gum tissue and teeth, and in biofilms which are basically layers of goop-like material made of exopolysaccharides or EPS within which bacteria survive in a quiescent or slow-growing state.
口腔微生物群存在于唾液、牙龈组织和牙齿表面及生物膜中;生物膜种主要由胞外多糖(EPS)组成黏液状物质;细菌在其中处于静止或者缓慢增长状态。
I believe—as I shall try to prove in a later lecture—that desire, like force in mechanics, is of the nature of a convenient fiction for describing shortly certain laws of behaviour. A hungry animal is restless until it finds food; then it becomes quiescent.
我相信——正如我将在后面演讲中试图证明那样——欲望就像力学中力样,具有种方便虚构性质,可以快速描述某些行为规律。饥饿动物在找到食物之前会焦躁安;然后它变得静止。
