Instead of measuring length, a "gauge" can measure distance, size, width, or the thickness of material or objects.

“gauge”不是测量长度，而是测量距离、大小、宽度或者材料或物体的厚度。

" It bends light like a glass of water does when a spoon or straw inside it looks bent, " Cramer told Dezeen. " Except I figured out how to do it with a much smaller volume and thickness of material" .

" 就像把勺子或者吸管放进水里，看上去像折弯了，这种材料以同样的方式弯折光线。" 克莱默告诉德泽恩：" 只不过我找到了一种办法，用更小的体积和更薄的材料来做到这一点。"
