(单词翻译)
The standard way to envision this is to imagine yourself at the center of a large carousel1 and tossing a ball to someone positioned on the edge. By the time the ball gets to the perimeter2, the target person has moved on and the ball passes behind him. From his perspective, it looks as if it has curved away from him. That is the Coriolis effect, and it is what gives weather systems their curl and sends hurricanes spinning off like tops. The Coriolis effect is also why naval3 guns firing artillery4 shells have to adjust to left or right; a shell fired fifteen miles would otherwise deviate5 by about a hundred yards and plop harmlessly into the sea.
