The spider install the warp threads, too.

蜘蛛也要安放经线。

The one hundred and first meridian was passed.

在已经越过了经线一百零一度了。

It consists of passing the woven of thread between the warp threads.

这就要在经线之间编织穿过纬线。

My latitude is 90 degrees north and my longitude is all of them.

我北纬90度，而且所有经线交汇的方。

What interested her most was the longitude line.

她最感兴趣的条通过天文台的经线。

I mean, think about it, unlike the equator for latitude, zero degrees longitude could technically be anywhere, right?

我说，想想看，与赤道的纬度不同，从技术角度看，零度经线能在任何方，对吧？

That is the warps that make up my basket.

成我篮子的经线。

And this is Chapter 28, The Warp on the Loom.

第28章 织布机上的经线。

A streak, straight as a meridian, was visible down her cheek.

On a map, time zones are marked by lines of longitude.

在图上，时区由经线标记。

He's the warp on the loom.

他就像织布机上的经线。

It’s really sort of where you can look at the warp and weft of language and read it.

这真的一种你可以看到语言的经线和纬线并阅读它的方。

The shortest distance between two meridians is the arc of the great circle contained between these two points.

两条经线之间的最短距离这两点之间所包含的大圆的弧度。

There's a reason why that is zero over all of these other lines, because of a very particular scientific revolution that took place right there.

在所有经线中选定这条作为零度经线有原因的，因为里发生了一场非常特殊的科学革命。

If we draw this route on a flat map, it passes through every line of longitude at a different angle.

如果我们在平面图上绘制这条路线，它会以不同的角度穿过每条经线。

Ptolemy built his grid out of lines we still use today: 180 lines of latitude and 360 lines of longitude.

托勒密用我们今天仍在使用的线建了他的网格：180 条纬线和 360 条经线。

My latitude is 90 degrees north and my longitude is all of them. Despite popular belief, magnetic compasses do not point directly to me.

我的纬度90度, 但没有经度，因为所有经线都通过这里。普遍观点磁罗盘不能直接指向我这个点。

For one of these rectangles, let's call the side along the latitude lines its width, and the side along the longitude lines its height.

对于其中一个矩形，我们将沿纬线的边称为宽度，将沿经线的边称为高度。

After two years of trundling and triangulating his way across France, in 1669 he announced a more accurate measure of 110.46 kilometers for one degree of arc.

他花了两年时间穿越法国，用三角测绘法进行测量；之后，他宣布了一个更加精确的测量结果：1度经线为110.46公里。
