请教一句话 Some peopl

问题描述

Some people obsess over knowing the exact time. They buy clocks and watches that automatically adjust themselves over the Internet or by radio waves. These measurements allow them infinitesimal accuracy in dealing with time.最后一句是什么意思？是说这些方式处理时间非常不精准吗？

老师答疑

刘老师：

These measurements allow them infinitesimal accuracy in dealing with time.

【翻译】这些测量手段让他们在处理时间上得到无穷小的精度。

【分析】allow sb. sth. 意思是：让某人得到。这里的allow 意为“给与，让与，让…得到，允许有”。 

无穷小的精度，意味着“精确度非常细微，精确度非常高”。
