Meanwhile, Russia's trying to wave off Western powers from the possibility of military action against their Syrian ally.

同时，俄罗斯正试图阻止西方大国对其同盟叙利亚采取军事措施。

Instead, it acted as a lens, focusing the wave's destructive power and amplifying its size by between 5% and 70%.

实际上，它好比一个透镜，将海浪的破坏力聚集起来，并且扩大5%-70%。

When wave power generators go up and down on the water, liquids inside them move.

当波浪发电机在水面上上下移动时，它们内部的液体会移动。

In fact, this was the world's first wave farm, and the strange shapes were wave power generators.

其实这是世界上第一个波浪农场，奇形怪状的是波浪发电机。

The great thing about wave power is that you can get electricity 24 hours a day.

波浪能的伟大之处在于您可以一天 24 小时获得电力。

And then just a bit further north from there, in the Pentland Firth, we find the biggest wave power turbine being tested.

然后再往北一点，在彭特兰峡湾，我们发现了正在测试的最大的波浪能涡轮机。

We’ve talked about the intensity of a wave before: it’s the wave’s power over its area, measured in Watts per square meter.

我们之前讨论过波浪的强度：它是波浪在其面积上的功率，以瓦特/平方米为单位测量。

So far, innovations in their turbine design have already improved power output, which is essential if wave power is ever going to become a viable energy source.

目前他们的涡轮中的创造性设计已经提高了能量输出而这正是波浪能量实用化过程中必须的。

Unless we do research on solar energy, wind power, wave power, tidal power, hydroelectric schemes etc, our fossil fuels will run out, and we'll all freeze or starve to death.

除非我们对太阳能、风能、波浪能、潮汐能、水力发电计划等进行研究，否则我们的化石燃料将会耗尽， 我们都会被冻死或饿死。
