This resulted in a proliferation of small to medium sized hydro-electric generating stations distributed wherever there was an adequate supply of moving water and a need for electricity. These factors are (1) the vertical distance through which the water falls, called the head, and (2) the flow rate, measured as volume per unit time. The electricity produced is proportional to the product of the head and the rate of flow. The following is an equation which may be used to roughly determine the amount of electricity which can be generated by a potential hydro-electric power site: POWER (kW) = 5.9 x FLOW x HEAD In this equation, FLOW is measured in cubic meters per second and HEAD is measured in meters. The future of hydro-electric power will depend upon future demand for electricity, as well as how societies value the environmental impacts of hydro-electric power compared to the impacts of other sources of electricity. Translation Skill 专业英语的文体特点 1、专业术语、合成词、缩写词多 专业术语：如dams, reservoir， turbine 等 合成词：如feedback, shutdown, breakdown 缩写词： AC：alternating current 交流 DC: direct current 直流 GIS: gas insulated switchgear气体绝缘封闭组合电器 SCR: silicon controlled rectifier 可控硅整流器 Translation Skill 专业英语的文体特点 2、广泛使用被动语句 专业英语侧重描述与推理，重视客观性，为避免主观臆断的印象，很少采用一、二人称，所以多使用被动语句。如： The first of many hydro electric power plants at Niagara Falls was completed shortly thereafter. Translation Skill 专业英语的文体特点 3、长句多 为了表达复杂的概念，并使之逻辑严密，结构紧凑，往往采用复杂的句式结构，句中包含多个从句短语，特别是非限定性短语，从句、短语相互嵌套，从而形成复杂的长句。 4、句子结构严谨，逻辑性强 专业英语注重事实、结果的说明和原理的阐述。专业英语中常配有公式、表格和图形。 Translation Skill 专业词汇的特点 1、本专业专有词汇 如：dam, reservoir,
