2--Nanometer is a length scale. It's one billionth of a meter, roughly ten times the size of an individual atom.
 
1--Hmm...it's hard to figure out the exact size,l'm afraid.
 
2--Well,let's make it this way.For comparison ,10 NM is 1000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. There are as many nanometers in an inch as there are inches in 400 miles.
 
1--I see.Thank you.

1--麥克，現(xiàn)在好多人都在談?wù)摷{米。它到底是個啥呀？
2--納米是個長度單位。一納米等于十億分之一米，大概比一個原子小10倍吧。
1--嗯…恐怕還不太容易想像得出它的具體大小呢。
2--這樣說吧。10納米比一根頭發(fā)直徑的1/1000還短。一英寸所含的納米數(shù)量等于400米所含的英寸數(shù)。
1--這樣說我就明白了。謝謝啊。
