bog down = 篊ㄓ (bIG 5) Explanation: 硂柑╯刚瓜琵硂瞴程е硉硚筿杠呼隔篊ㄓ絯絯竲˙(Big 5) (Another Example: The whole network was bogged down by the large number of requests.) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 hrs 22 mins (2005-01-22 00:40:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I don\'t have simplified Chinese system on my computer yet. Sorry for the inconvenience. Basically, \"bog down\" means to cause to slow down or get stuck. (http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/bog down) It seems to me that the network is already built. It sounds like the idea is for the researchers to intentionally try to cause trouble for the network, similar to the way that computer-security experts intentionally try to hack into systems to exposes any weaknesses. But the passage really needs more context. |

提供规范 Explanation: To guess what ‘Bog Down’ means, we need a little background information. 1. We are talking about a LONG DISTANCE NETWORK SCHEME (or PROJECT) possibly by Verizon Communication Inc. 2. Verizon is the product of a merger between two giant telecommunication companies – Bell Alantic Corp. & GTE which is located in Waltham, Massachusetts. Please note Verizon is located in New York. 3. The given paragraph mentioned ‘the Waltham lab.’ And my guess it means the lab. of GTE, and engineers there developed 12000 pages of specification/guide-line for telecommunication equipment (hardware) design. 4. The given paragraph also mentioned ‘its here that researchers attempt to bog down ……..’ ; my guess this HERE means VERIZON 5. My perception is – the Waltham lab engineers set the standards for equipment design; its HERE (Verizon) researchers try to set the criteria for long distance network specification 6. Hence, to ‘bog down’ here means to set a criteria (提供规范) for the network system. 7. The ‘3,000 kilometers of fiber rolled up into a couple dozen spools’ is just additional information describing the size of the long distance network system. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days 13 hrs 43 mins (2005-01-23 17:00:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Reponding to asker\'s comment about \'Here=Waltham not Verizon\'; agreed, it is possible! However, we are still looking at two seperate groups - Engineer (with proven science knowledge) and Scientists (with new frontier to explore), so my logic sequence woundn\'t change! - I think (bog-down) = (nailed-down)? comments anyone?
