Food enters through the mouth, where chewing and saliva start to break it up and make it easier to swallow.

在下一步，物通过道进入胃，在胃中进行械性和化学性消化并继续向下行进，胃壁肌层强有力收缩，使胃液与物充分混合。产生被称糜混合物物质。

He explains I consciousness as the mechanistic part — the part that processes information, that relays inputs to outputs, and that is observable in the brain.

他把 I 意识解械性部分——处理信息部分，将输入转换输出部分，在大脑中是可见。

So, it's as modern as it can be mechanically and every nut bolt and screw on it is either refurbished or new.

First of all, Max, machines (including computers) have long been better than us at many tasks, like arithmetic, or weaving, but those are often repetitive and mechanical operations.

首先，器（包括电脑）在很多任务中早已比我们优秀，比如算数或编织，但那通常都是重复性、械性操作。

Muscles reached a stage of mechanical aching that seemed to stretch out indefinitely, but Paul saw that the beckoning escarpment ahead of them had climbed higher.

However, as shown in Figure 1, the drawback of this approach is the inherent discontinuity of adjacent springs, which does not reflect the mechanical properties of foundation soil materials.

然而，如图 1 所示，种方法缺点是相邻弹簧固有不连续性，并不能反映地基土材料械性能。

Van Casteren: Such a large difference on such a small change in mechanical properties in the chewing substrate is what opened my eyes and made my jaw drop a little bit no pun intended.

Van Casteren：咀嚼基质械性能变化如此之小却有如此大差异，让我大开眼界，让我下巴有点掉下来，不是双关语。
