Now then, if water isn't absolutely incompressible, at least it compresses very little.

可是，水虽不是绝对不可压缩，但至少是很难压缩。

The fact that water is incompressible has literally shaped the development of fish.

水不可压缩这一事实从字面上影类的发育。

Yet there is one basic difficulty to living in water --- the fact that it's incompressible.

然，生活在水中有一个基本的困难——它是不可压缩的。

And all of that is just for the case of incompressible fluid flow, where something compressible, like air, makes things trickier still.

所有这些都只是针对不可压缩流体流动的情况，其中可压缩的东西（例如空气）使事情变得更加棘手。

And since you’re dealing with an incompressible fluid, the density is going to be the same for every point in the pipe anyway.

由于您正在处理不可压缩的流体， 因此无论如何管道中每个点的密度都是相同的。

And since you're dealing with an incompressible fluid, the density is going to be the same for every point in the pipe anyway.

由于流体是不可压缩的，所以它保持 管中任何一点的密度都是相同的。

Loosely packed dry soils tend to compress under stress, but with incompressible water unable to escape the gaps between grains, the soil can't compress and the water takes the load.

松散的干土在应力作用下容易压缩，但由于不可压缩的水无法从土粒间的缝隙中逸出，土壤无法压缩，水就承担负荷。

Because we are made largely of water ourselves, and water is virtually incompressible, in the words of Frances Ashcroft of Oxford University, the body remains at the same pressure as the surrounding water, and is not crushed at depth.

由于在很大程度上我们本身也是由水组成的，水——用牛津大学弗朗西斯·阿什克罗夫特的话来说——“实际上是压不扁的”，因此人体仍会保持与周围水一样的压力，不会被压死。
