Some have bright rims as they push into material between the stars; others form complex webs of filaments.

25. For example, the pharmaceutical industry grows filamentous fungi in large quantities in the lab.

And what you do is you take some plastic in the form of a filament, and you extrude it through a very, very hot nozzle.

你做就是拿些长丝状塑料，通过个非常非常热喷嘴把它挤出。

24. In fact, we can actually use the cell walls of filamentous fungi as a filter, even after the fungi are dead.

事实上，我们可以把丝状真菌胞壁用作过滤器，即使在这些真菌死后。

The thread-like fibers we see — thinner than a human hair — are the remains of those dense, dried out walls of cellulose.

我们看到丝状纤维（比人类毛发）是那些紧实干燥纤维素壁（原胞壁）残留物。

The top picture shows similar filaments discovered by Dr McKellar and his team, suggesting flightless dinosaurs sporting such protofeathers were still around in the late Cretaceous.

上图所示为麦凯乐博士及其研究小组发现类似丝状羽毛，表明长有这些原生羽毛“非鸟”恐龙在白垩纪后期仍然存活着。

Because the substance is composed of mucus and reinforced with numerous superfine and strong silk-like fibers, the slime is incredibly soft yet tough.

这是因为该物质是由黏液组成，并以无数超和强有力丝状纤维加固，因此这种黏液非常柔软，但又非常坚韧。

But fossils from China suggest the precursors of feathers-simple, filament-like structures possibly used for insulation-evolved in land-lubbing dinosaurs and were only later adapted for flight.

中国出土化石表明羽毛前身呈简易丝状结构，可能具有隔离热量功用，这些简易丝状羽毛在陆地恐龙身上不断进化，直至后来才具备了飞行功能。

The precursors of bird feathers were straight, dense, filament-like structures, which were mostly made of keratin, the same stuff your hair and fingernails are made of.

鸟类羽毛前身是竖直、密集丝状结构，主由角蛋白构成，与构成你头发和指甲东西是同样物质。

Some of the only parts of the body whose motions aren't governed by the muscular system are sperm cells, the hair-like cilia in our airways, and certain white blood cells.

而在我们身体某些部分，动作不是由肌肉系统控制，它们包括精胞，我们气道里丝状纤维，有某些白胞。

In a few minutes the cloud withers to a mesh of dim filaments and disappears, leaving the sky perfectly clear and bright, every dust-particle wiped and washed out of it.

It's got these beautiful thready leaves, really thin leaves all throughout the summer, and then very, very late in autumn, late September, it'll start producing all these lovely yellow flowers there.

它有这些美丽丝状叶子，整个夏天叶子都很薄，然后在秋天非常非常晚时候，九月下旬，它就会开始在那里开出所有这些可爱黄色花朵。

They're in this in between area. So if you cut them for example and you pull them apart, you might see like these stringy pieces, or like almost like liquid, these weird like almost like fibers.

介于固体和液体之间。如果你把它们切开，然后把它们拉开，你可能会看到像丝状碎片，或者几乎像液体样，奇怪几乎像纤维东西。

But since dinosaurs in different times and places had a variety of protofeather types, paleontologists are able to piece together how feathers went from basic filament structures, to ones that allowed flight.

但由于不同时代和地点恐龙有多种原始羽毛类型，古生物学家能够拼凑出羽毛是如何从基本丝状结构发展为可以飞行结构。
