And the way this is done is that there are so called hair cells...these cells have little microscopic bristles, about a hundred of them, and on the top of each cell, these bristles vibrate back and forth in response to sound. That sets up an electrical signal that then goes down a nerve fiber and into the brain.
转化通过所谓的毛细胞来实现。这些细胞顶部有极小的毛,大约有100根,这些毛会随着声音来回振动。这会产生一个电信号,之后电信号会沿着神经纤维进入大脑。

基本释义
Microscopic objects are extremely small, and usually can be seen only through a microscope.
adj. 极小的;极精细的;(用) 显微镜的
单词microscopic里的词根scop,来源于拉丁语scopus,表示 “看”。所以,在英语里包含scop/scope单词,多与此相关:
scope n. 范围;视野
microscope n. 显微镜
telescope n. 望远镜
radioscope n. 放射探测仪
stomatoscope n. 口腔镜
infinitesimal: Something that is infinitesimal is extremely small.(极微小的)
