1. Jets of compressed air gave the aircraft lateral and directional stability. 压缩气体喷流从侧面和正面稳定了机身。
2. McKinnon estimated the lateral movement of the bridge to be between four and six inches. 麦金农估计大桥的横向移动范围在4到6英寸之间。
3. Auxin also causes the plant to develop a vascular system, to form lateral roots, and to produce ethylene. 生长素还能使植物形成维管系统，形成侧根，并产生乙烯。
4. The sparse distribution of the feathers, however, also allows considerable lateral air movement over the skin surface, thereby permitting further heat loss by convection. 然而，羽毛的稀疏分布也使得皮肤表面形成相当大量的侧向空气流动，从而可以通过对流进一步散热。
5. Auxin, for instance, stimulates the rate of cell elongation, causes shoots to grow up and roots to grow down, and inhibits the growth of lateral shoots. 例如，生长素刺激细胞延伸的速度，促使芽和根生长，而抑制侧枝的生长。
