The rate at which the molecules move depends upon the energy they have. 分子运动的速度取决于分子所具有的能量。 3. Thomas Edison, who invented the incandescent filament lamp, made important contribution to science. 发明了白炽灯的托马斯爱迪生，对科学作出了重要贡献。 4. Transistors, which are small in size, can make previously large and bulky radios light and small. 体积小的晶体管使得先前那种大而笨的收音机变得又轻又小。 5. Yet there exist complex computations in science and engineering which people are unable to make. 到目前为止，在科学和工程方面还存在人们无能为力的许多复杂计算。 6. The day will come when coal and oil will be used as raw material rather than as fuels. 煤和石油用作原料而不是用作燃料的日子一定会到来。 2 以as引导的限制性定语从句 a such+名词+as,或such as 通常译为“像……之类的”、“像……那样的” 等。 1. Such liquid fuel rockets as are now being used for space research have to carry their own supply of oxygen. 像现在用于宇宙研究的这类液态燃料火箭，必须自带氧气。 2.
