Question

quantum n.定量；额；量；量子 (1) 当每个过程都完成了他们的分配量，它将会被与其他过程交换。(2) 被告承认有责任，但案子还是拿到法庭审判，因为双方当事人不能就损害赔偿金金额达成协议。(3) 年出口量达到一千多万台。(4) 只有在量子理论中才出现这样的自转效应。(5) 这一发现标志着治疗癌症的一大突破。 In the 17th century, the word quantum, from the Latin word for "how much," referred to a portion. Quantum is usually a noun referring to a specific amount of something. However, it can also be used as an adjective, as in the phrase "quantum leap," where it refers to a sudden, important change. Outside of physics, the word might be used with "not" to refer to something insignificant, as in "There's not a quantum of truth in what you say."
