Americans have progressively defined the process of plant growth and reproductive development in quantitative terms.

美国人已经逐步定量地界定了植物生长和繁殖过程。

Suki's work that started in 1960s allowed us to quantitatively and predicatively, simulate the behavior of the climate system.

Suki 始于20世纪60年代，这让我们能够定量和预测地模拟气候系统行为。

In a natural system, a certain amount of recharge comes in and a certain amount of water naturally flows out through springs, streams, and lakes.

一个自然体系中，会有一定量补给流进来，也会有一定量自然地流出进、溪流和湖泊。

You cannot describe the central limit  theorem quantitatively without taking into account both of those effects, which  in turn requires describing the mean and the standard deviation.

如果不考虑这两种影响， 就无法定量地描述中心极限定理，而这又需要描述平均值和标准差。

This regression also lets us be more quantitative about how close the exponential fit really is, and to use the technical jargon here, the answer is that it's really freaking close.

这种回归还让我们更加定量地了解指数拟合真实程度，用这里技术术语来说，答案是它真非常接近。
