are less likely to suffer serious damage.

That makes it sound easy, and artificial, but Peters insists it is still a massive challenge. He typically takes between 10,000 and 20,000 shots to get one butterfly take-off sequence in focus. At such high shutter speeds, the depth of field is tiny, and as butterflies do not fly in a straight line they swiftly flutter out of focus. As well as thousands of attempts, it takes patience and fieldcraft to anticipate a butterfly’s likely flight-line — and catch it — in focus.

这听起来既简单又人为，但彼得斯坚称这仍是一项巨大的挑战。他通常要拍一万到两万张照片，才能得到一组对焦清晰的蝴蝶起飞序列。在如此高的快门速度下，景深非常小，而且蝴蝶并不沿直线飞行，很快就会扑腾着飞出焦点。除了成千上万次的尝试，还需要耐心和野外经验来预判蝴蝶可能的飞行路线——并在焦点内捕捉到它。

Researchers analysed the frequency and impact of gaps greater than 2 seconds during conversations, including an overview of previous studies which indicate that the fear of awkward silences can be so extreme that people avoid talking to strangers, even though doing so is likely to be an enjoyable experience.

研究人员分析了谈话中超过2秒的停顿出现的频率及其影响，其中包括对以往研究的综述，这些研究表明，人们对尴尬沉默的恐惧可能极其强烈，以至于会避免与陌生人交谈，尽管与陌生人交谈很可能是一种愉快的经历。

Long gaps between strangers are likely to be followed by a change in topic.

陌生人之间的长时间停顿之后，往往会转换话题。

The likely explanation is that the withdrawal was rushed, and they didn’t want the local Caledonians getting their hands on 10 tons of weapon-grade iron.

可能的解释是，撤退十分仓促，而他们不想让当地的喀里多尼亚人得到这10吨可用于制造武器的铁。

That will likely take increased federal funding for research independent of the tech giants.

这可能需要增加联邦政府对独立于科技巨头的研究的资助。

Despite success stories like van Oosten’s, preservation of plastics will likely get harder.

尽管有范·奥斯滕这样的成功案例，塑料的保存可能会变得越来越难。

That’s likely because the rural poor are using the money as makeshift insurance policies against inclement weather, Ferraro says.

费拉罗说，这很可能是因为农村贫困人口把这笔钱当作应对恶劣天气的临时保险。

And anything that raises GPAs will likely make students — who, at the end of the day, are paying the bill — feel they’ve gotten a better value for their tuition dollars, which is another big concern for colleges.

而任何能提高GPA的做法都可能让学生——他们毕竟是付钱的人——觉得自己交的学费更值，这是大学关心的另一件大事。

"Harsh as it may be to say, that decision should likely not be made contingent on a child's opinions, but rather made for them with great consideration into what home can meet their needs best — and give them an opportunity to customize it a bit and make it their own."

“虽然这样说可能有些刺耳，但这个决定或许不应取决于孩子的意见，而应在充分考虑什么样的房子最能满足他们需求的基础上替他们做出——同时给他们机会对房子稍加布置，让它成为自己的家。”
