Question

symmetry n.对称(性)；匀称；整齐 (1) 有这些数据来构成对称波形。(2) 很多的茎和根都是辐射对称的。(3) 他的牙齿破坏了他的面部匀称。(4) 两种活动都要求美感和匀称性。 Snowflakes and butterflies often have a remarkable natural symmetry, with patterns on one side matched by those on the other. Objects that have identical or very similar parts lying at equal distances from a central point or line or plane — that is, objects that have symmetry — often work better. Symmetry helps boats stay upright in water. In design, symmetry is a balancing of objects, as when two candlesticks on a fireplace mantel are at equal distances from the center of the mantel. A lack of symmetry — i.e., asymmetry — might mean putting both candlesticks together at one end of the mantel.
