1·The glass settled to a thickness of six millimetres because of surface tension interactions between the glass and the tin.
由于玻璃和锡之间的表面张力的相互作用，玻璃的厚度降到了6毫米。
2·It is held there by the force of surface tension without which water would drain instantly from any wet surface, leaving it totally dry.
它是由表面张力的力量保持的，没有它，水会立即从任何潮湿的表面流失，使它完全干燥。
3·The coming together of the oppositely charged particles neutralizes the electrical tension and releases a tremendous amount of energy, which we see as lightning.
相反的带电粒子聚集在一起，抵消了电的张力，释放出大量的能量，就是我们看到的闪电。
4·The material typically used for the pages was parchment, which is animal skin that's stretched and dried under tension, so it become s really flat and can be written on.
书页通常使用的材料是羊皮纸，羊皮纸是一种动物的皮肤，其在张力的作用下被拉伸和变干，因此它会变得非常平整，并且你可以在上面写字。
5·In the early 1400s came the invention of the coiled spring or fusee which maintained constant force to the gear wheels of the timekeeper despite the changing tension of its mainspring.
在15世纪早期，人们发明了螺旋弹簧或均力圆锥轮，尽管它的主弹簧的张力不断变化，但仍能对计时装置的齿轮保持恒定的力。
