finite adj.有限的 (1) 世界的资源是有限的。(2) 很有可能空间和时间是有限的。(3) 任何电池都具有有限的寿命，无论它具有多大的能量。 Most people are far more familiar with the word finite when they see it inside the word infinite, or without end. Finite can be used for conceptual things like time, "We have to get out of here, we only have a finite amount of time," and for more tangible things like beans or dirt, "We have to be careful with the cooking, we only have a finite amount of fuel."
