Question

equator n.赤道 (1) 赤道是一条实际上并不存在的线。 An equator is an invisible line that divides a globe into two parts, north and south. To remember equator, recall the root "equa" from the Latin word aequus, meaning "equal." An equator makes things "equal." If you drew a line that divided a globe into two parts that were not equal, the line couldn't be called an equator. If you live at the North Pole and you're buddy lives at the South, meet halfway, somewhere along the equator—perhaps in Brazil, for Carnaval.
