1. Darwin's original thesis, and the viewpoint supported by evolutionary gradualists, is that species change continuously but slowly and in small increments. 达尔文最初的论点以及进化渐进主义者所支持的观点是，物种的变化是持续的，但非常缓慢，增量也很小。
2. Surveyors marched inland from the coast for thousands of miles, stopping at increments of as little as a few feet to measure their elevation, and marking each increment with two poles. 测量员从海岸向内陆行进数千英里，每增加几英尺就停下来测量海拔，每增加一英尺就用两根杆子做标记。
3. Early increments will be immature. 早期的增量是不成熟的。
4. Increments a count in each loop iteration. 在每次循环迭代中增加一个计数。
5. After lots of increments, you've got a big wall. 在多次增量之后，你将得到一面大墙。
