Usually the rake body makes the static readings high, and by shortening the tipstatic-orifice distance the error can be eliminated . 一般排管架使静压读数偏高，缩小管端静压孔的距离可以消除这个误差。
In practice, since the materials are normally used in small thickness, it is necessary to make a suitable reduction of the dimensions of the aggregate . 实际上，因为通常采用厚度小的材料，故它的尺寸必须适当缩小。
I am not without any hope of persuading them to confine the representation within a much smaller circle than they are now in the high road for . 我有希望说服他们把演出的范围大大地缩小，要比他们现在谋求的范围小得多。
In this way the areas of the polygons thus formed gradually approach to the area of the circle, the difference diminishing step by step . 按这种方法，这样形成的多边形的面积逐渐趋近于圆的面积，两者的差别一步步地缩小。
