生活中有些常識(shí)和傳聞其實(shí)是錯(cuò)誤的，比如地球圍繞太陽(yáng)轉(zhuǎn)，鯊魚(yú)不會(huì)得癌癥等等。讓我們一起修正這些錯(cuò)誤的常識(shí)吧!

The Earth isn't actually orbiting around the Sun. It's orbiting around the Solar System's center of mass known as the Barycenter. Although this point often falls within the mass of the Sun, it can be shifted by the pull of larger planets. Therefore, at least some of the time, everything in the solar system is orbiting around empty space。

事實(shí)上，地球并非圍著太陽(yáng)轉(zhuǎn)。它繞著太陽(yáng)系的質(zhì)心轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)。盡管這個(gè)質(zhì)心通常位于太陽(yáng)內(nèi)，但由于大行星的引力，它的位置可能會(huì)移動(dòng)。因此至少某些時(shí)候，太陽(yáng)系的所有物體是繞著空空如也的某片宇宙轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)的。

While the Supreme Court did rule that tomatoes are vegetables in the legal sense for the purpose of taxation, they did not claim they are vegetables in any botanical sense. They are still fruits。

No bat is blind. While many species do use echolocation, some have excellent night vision and don't rely on echolocation at all。

Dogs don't sweat through their tongue. Most of their sweat glands are located in their foot pads. While panting does keep them cool, panting is not equivalent to sweating。

狗不是通過(guò)舌頭排汗。它們大部分的汗腺長(zhǎng)在腳底的軟墊上。喘氣確實(shí)能讓它們保持涼爽，但這和流汗是兩回事。
