The gas and dust back up, forming a disc.

气体和尘埃退了回去，形成了个碟形。

Terry Pratchett is best known for his Discworld series.

特里·普拉切特最出名他《碟形世界》系列。

You get the television channels from the satellite dish.

您可以从碟形卫星线接收电视频道。

It's in a field, and there's this giant six-foot-wide parabolic dish, like a satellite TV dish, pointing toward the sky.

拍摄地点在野外，上面有个 6 英尺宽巨大碟形抛物面——像卫星电视锅——朝向空。

One is called " Dish TV." Why " Dish TV" ?

个叫做“Dish TV”。为什么“碟形电视”？

The dial mechanism came out next, leaving an empty dished compartment in the instrument.

接下来刻度盘机构，在仪器中留下个空碟形隔间。

The telescope's dish was constructed inside an enormous circular sinkhole.

望远镜碟形线建在个巨大圆形坑内。

But Starlink also warns that roof mounted dishes can be blown loose in a storm.

但 Starlink 还警告说，安装在屋顶碟形线可能会在暴风雨中吹散。

Slowly Kiki rose into the air, and resting on his broad wings, floated in graceful circles above the saucer-shaped mountain-top.

奇奇缓缓腾空而起， 靠着宽阔翅膀，优雅地盘旋在碟形山顶上空。

It was held in the center of the saucer-shaped country, and the day was given over to feasting and merry-making.

它在碟形国家中心举行，这花在了宴会和欢乐中。

Catching them requires either a dish antenna of enormous proportions, or an array of smaller ones, with a supercomputer to consolidate the data.

捕捉这些信号或者需要巨大碟形线，或者小线组合，由超级计算机来整合这些数据。

The QTT's fully steerable dish, spanning 110 metres, will enable it to observe 75% of the stars in the sky at any given time.

QTT完全可操纵碟形线横跨110米，将使它能够在任何给定时间观测空中75%恒星。

If you have cable or a dish and can't immediately cite what channel number Pop occupies, odds are you're not alone.

如果您有有线电视或碟形线，但不能立即说出 Pop 占用频道编号，那么很可能您并不孤单。

Second, we'll see how this dish continuously steers the beam so that it points  directly at a satellite moving across the sky.

其次, 我们将看到这个碟形线如何不断地引导光束, 使其直接指向在空中移动卫星。

Because the dish was fixed to the earth, it was constrained to point at whatever part of the sky happened to be overhead.

因为碟形线固定在地球上，所以它只能指向头顶上空任何部分。

All three towers suffered failures, major portions of the dish were destroyed, and the platform and instruments it supported were a complete loss.

所有三座塔都遭遇故障， 碟形线主要部分毁，其支撑平台和仪器也完全损失。

So, they took satellite dishes, added some flashing lights and even climate control to keep the animals warm, and voila, a chicken coop that's said to be out of this world.

于，他们用碟形线，再加上闪光灯和制暖装置来保持鸡窝温暖，再看，俨然个外星鸡窝。

Focusing those waves to a narrow area above the dish doesn't do much good unless you have a receiver up there to collect and measure them.

将这些波聚焦到碟形线上方狭窄区域并没有多大用，除非你在那里有个接收器来收集和测量它们。

The Arecibo telescope was designed with a triangular platform suspended by steel cables above the dish to support the various instruments used to gather radio signals.

阿雷西博望远镜设计有个由钢缆悬挂在碟形线上方三角形平台，以支撑用于收集无线电信号各种仪器。

Construction on the whole facility will run until 2028, but the first operations can begin as soon as enough dishes and antennas are installed to start receiving signals.

整个设施建设将持续到 2028 年，但旦安装了足够碟形线和线以开始接收信号，就可以开始第批操。
