Excessive elongation of that quite simply places additional stress on those structures.

过度的拉伸只会对这些结构施加额外的压力。

It lets us glimpse an intermediate stage in the elongation of the giraffid neck from shorter-necked ancestors.

它让我们得以一睹长颈鹿脖子从短脖子祖先那里伸长的中间阶段。

While all grasses grow via the same cell elongation process, an unkempt lawn won’t end up towering over your house like a bamboo grove would.

虽然所有的草都通过相同的细胞伸长过程生长，但蓬乱的草坪不会像竹林那样最终高耸在你的房子上。

See, in 1996, two researchers argued that  Lamarck, Darwin, and generations of biologists since had totally overlooked the main driver  behind the elongation of the giraffe's neck.

1996 年， 两名研究人员认为，拉马克、达尔文以及此后的几代生物学家完全忽视了长颈鹿脖子伸长背后的主要驱动因素。

To them, the particular form of combat that giraffes engaged in was the primary driver behind the elongation of their neck, with the ability to browse on higher trees being a side-benefit.

对他们来说， 长颈鹿进行的特殊战斗形式是其脖子伸长的主要驱动力，而能够浏览更高的树木则是一个附带好处。

The robot shows high mechanical strength, high load capacity and rapid locomotion speed in its solid phase as well as excellent shape adaptability in its liquid phase such as elongation, splitting and merging.

该机器人在固相时具有高机械强度、高负载能力和快速的运动速度，在液相时具有优异的形状适应性，如伸长、分裂和合并。

Over 7,000 human skeletons were discovered in the labyrinth, and some of the skulls have strange elongations and shapes, which have fueled speculation about the people who built and used this place.

迷宫中发现了7000多具人类骨骼，其中一些头骨有奇怪的伸长和形状， 引发了人们对建造和使用这里的人的猜测。
