Another question: what is a suitable free translation for “combination” in this context?
Thread Content
The combination acts as a \"unit\" and allows for the handling of liquids and powders in a confined working area. The use of the word \"combination\" is inappropriate; there is no indication of it in the context. Last edited by Lailai on 2009-3-9 17:40]
combination: Could it be translated as device?
I translate it as now: a step in synthesis as an operational unit. Last edited by Lai Lai on 2009-3-9 17:39]
It should refer to “unit operations,” such as distillation or absorption. This unit operation can function as a separate unit, allowing for the processing of liquids and powders in designated areas.
You have given the answer in your topic: The combination acts as a “unit” ! :lol So it means unit!
Hoho~~~~ At that time, I could understand what it meant, but I didn’t know the exact meaning of that word. Hehe, I was getting too fixated on it
After reading the posts from various teachers, it seems that “process” is more appropriate! I was also stunned.
Well, a more professional term for this would be a process step, as the completion of a reaction requires multiple such steps, and this is one of them. That’s my understanding.
For example: if you are showing a customer around the workshop but don’t know exactly how things are done, you can say: This part (or this batch or this process) is used for doing×××, right? I’m talking nonsense! I often do the same thing. This post was last edited by wuqitao0000 on 2009-3-9 19:06.]
The combination acts as a “unit” and allows for the handling of liquids and powders in a confined working area. Does “combination” refer to the integration (connection, combination) mentioned earlier? In other words, once this integration is completed, it becomes possible to handle liquids and powders in tightly controlled environments. Is this post related to the series of content about glove boxes?
Oh my God, what you said made it all click for me! I finally understand now the functions that fume hoods, glove boxes, and airlocks have when working together as a single unit
Therefore, it is essential to consider the meaning of the preceding text; otherwise, an accurate explanation is not possible
Well, it’s best to read the book carefully in order to understand it thoroughly; it might not be as we think it is
I was just about to say that if a single word cannot be guessed, context is needed to help.
