The light year is a unit of distance.

光年是的位。

As a unit of distance, it's convenient for astronomers, but it's a terrible one if you're doing the Kessel Run.

它对天文学家来说是个很方便的位，但如果你在做凯塞尔航行，它就很糟糕。

A light year is a unit of distance not time.

光年是一个位而不是一个时间位。

Traditional units of distance such as the Iranian Parasang reflected how a person could walk in a certain amount of time.

传统的位，如伊朗的帕勒桑，反映的是一个人在一定时间内走的路程。

As you say, 'feet' is an example of a measurement for height, length and distance.

就你说的，feet（英尺）是身高长度和的度量位。

Scientists call this distance one astronomical unit, or AU.

科学家们将这个定为天文位，或缩写为 AU。

Each window represents a unit of distance, and each such unit is passed in an equal unit of time.

每个窗口代表一个位, 每个这样的位在相等的时间位内通过。

Kind  of like the units here are square units whereas a distance in our diagram would be a kind  of linear unit.

有点这里的位是平方位，而我们图中的是一种线性位。

They use a distance called the parsec (a contraction of parallax and second), based on a universal measure called the stellar parallax and equivalent to 3.26 light-years.

他们用的位是“秒差”基于一种普遍使用的、名叫恒视差的量度方法，相当于3.26光年。

According to this paradox of motion, a runner crosses a series of units of distance from the beginning to the end of the racecourse.

根据这个运动悖论, 跑步者从赛马场的起点到终点, 会穿越一系列位的。

Fathom is a unit of distance about six feet that originated from the old English fathom, which could mean to embrace or outstretched arms, hence six feet.

Fathom 是一个大约 6 英尺的位，起源于古英语 fathom，可能意味着拥抱或伸出手臂，因此是 6 英尺。

You scoff, remembering that a parsec is a unit of distance, not time, when suddenly your ship powers down and a boarding party is beating down the outside hatch.

你嗤以鼻， 记住秒差是位，而不是时间，突然你的船停电了， 登船队正在敲打外面的舱口。

Yeah, Coulomb's law gives the electrostatic force  as the Coulomb constant times charge 1 times charge 2 all divided by the square of the distance  between centers of charge all times unit vector r.

是的，库仑定律给出的静电力等于库仑常数乘以电荷 1 乘以电荷 2 除以电荷中心间的平方乘以位矢量 r。

Since each window represents the same unit of time, it follows that four units of time are equal to eight units of time or that four units of distance equal eight units of distance, which is absurd.

由于每个窗口代表相同的时间位, 因此四个时间位等于八个时间位, 或者四个位等于八个位, 这是荒谬的。

There are just more tick marks to cover per unit distance Also, a nice side effect of the term real estate is that it aligns naturally with the fact that it comes in units of distance squared.

每位需要覆盖更多刻度线此外，“不动产” 一词的一个很好的副作用是， 它自然地与它以平方为位的事实相一致。
