Question

perpendicular adj.垂直的；直立的；陡峭的n.垂直线 (1) 墙通常是垂直的。(2) 希腊庙宇有很多垂直的大理石柱。(3) 他喝酒太多，简直站都站不直了。(4) 那墙有点斜。(5) 那山谷的尽头是花岗石的断崖。(6) 这柱子恢复垂直。 Perpendicular is used to describe lines, angles and direction. In geometry a perpendicular angle is 90 degrees, a perfect L. On a compass, East and North are perpendicular to each other. The term can be used more generally to describe any steep angle. You might talk about a ski slope that is nearly perpendicular. That's impossible; gravity would make you fall off a 90-degree angle. But if it's close enough, no one's really measuring.
