English英语译成Chinese汉语: Screwdriver Uses and Applications General field: 技术/工程设计 Detailed field: 制造业
原文文本 - English英语 Types of Screwdrivers
The different types of screwdrivers are typically determined by the drive tip shape which corresponds with the specific head type of a given screw. However, other screwdriver types are application-specific or are intended for particular industries.
Some of the most common types of screwdrivers are listed below.
• Phillips Screwdriver
Also known as cross-head screwdrivers, Phillips screwdrivers are one of the most common types. But what is a Phillips head screwdriver? These tools are designed to fit screws with Phillips heads, which have a cross-shaped recess - hence the alternative name of cross screwdriver. They were invented to cope with higher torsion.
• Torx or Star Screwdriver
Known variously as star head screwdrivers, pointed screwdrivers, six-point screwdrivers, and torx screwdrivers, these versions are all the same type. Torx is the trademark for a type of screw head with a six-point star-shaped intrusion, hence the generic name star screwdriver. These exist to ensure even more torque can be applied, in mechanical production, for example.
• Insulated Screwdrivers
Also known as safety screwdrivers, insulated screwdrivers are important for taking safety precautions in potentially hazardous scenarios. They are constructed from non-conductive materials such as rubber. VDE screwdrivers are also designed with safety in mind. VDE is an internationally-accredited institution that tests tools to certify that they meet the necessary safety standards. These tools are ideal for electricians.
• Flathead Screwdriver
The slot or flat-headed screwdriver is probably the most common form of hand tool. It has a flattened tip used for screws with a straight linear intrusion across the head. Flat blade screwdrivers are multi-purpose and can typically be used for a range of applications.

原文文本 - English英语 Every morning we meet in the kitchen and unsheathe our needles. Serena delicately peels down her underwear, exposing a modest triangle of buttock; I count to three, hold her hip to steady her trembling frame, then jab, thrusting the handle until the fluid disappears. She exhales, in one quick hiss, like a cat. Then I turn and bend over, underwear around my ankles. I don’t care what she sees: my cottage-cheese ass, the tuft of fur between my legs. I used to wax and prune, to spread “smoothing creams” on every inch of my body, even the parts no one ever saw in the daylight—but since I started taking the shots, my attitude has changed.
Needles don’t scare me like they do Serena. But when she plunges it in, I give a little yelp of solidarity. We are in this together—at least for now.
On March 17, 1959, the Nechung Oracle proclaimed, “Run! Run! Tonight!”
This is the last moment, the moment I choose to leave
Pacing the gardens of Norbulingka
I feel no despair, I simply don’t wish to speak
My entourage has assembled, ready for the journey
I am immersed in a strange excitement
(a tension and yearning I’ve never experienced before)
Goodbye, Tibet. Goodbye, Lhasa
Will my life vanish now, or begin anew?
In a beam of light, a snowy horse appears
“Next to it, all steeds of ages past
seemed pale and faded.”
With a gust of wind, the boy Kim is reincarnated
out of Kipling’s pages
He has led the horse to me through the night
with proof of the noble blood it bore
Thank you, young soul
Thank you, white horse of good omen—
“My heart surged with the clouds
and my eyes strained to catch the homing birds.”
Spring unfolds its daily grandeur
A monastery clings to the cliff, bathed in the night’s glow —
Everything blazes, searing to the edge of pain—
Icy torrents, granite, black cliffs
flailing poplars, untamed woods, fruit trees
towers, wind chimes, red earth, wilderness…
We are tiny insects scaling the mountain heights…
Gyixiong, Xuebula, Jue’la, Mangmang—
Qinye, Darjeeling, Yiquduojiang—
Sikkim’s valleys spill into each other…
Lungzi Zong!
A place I will remember for all time
where moon-cloaked wayfarers long for dawn
There we walked! There I went!
Look! In Gandan Monastery atop Mount Wangbori,
a temple wall is oozing blood
Day by day we rise to fame, reborn from death
Day by day we meet amid grief and joy
Our past lives, my past life
Our afternoons, my afternoon
Our noses, my nose
our red robes, my red robes
Our Western brothers fear the serpent
We don’t, I don’t
Who said the duty of any southwestern river
is only to leave behind fertile silt?
Who said that facing the storm and eight hundred lightning strikes
I rose only to attain enlightenment?
Pain exists to measure delight
So how can dusk ever be bitter?
Under the beautiful sky, the clear sky
a neat stack of dry wood sits in the courtyard
Good night, my homeland—for the last time!
I curl up under the blanket, mouse urine dripping down
Good night, vast, scorching, windless
Indian Plain, lying just ahead
Good night, PandharpurPunditla, Mussoorie, Dharamsala
Good night, merciful land
We are here, we are here
I fall to the ground, and you meet my outstretched hands…
