Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Cycle"

A: The route has two purposes: cycling (bicycling) and walking.

A: „worked through“ means „gone through“ or „passed through“ or simply „spread to“
Examples:

The seasonal flu worked through everyone in our office last winter— everyone got sick!

A: You're right that it's not written well. If they eliminated the "for" (what selected the) it would probably work better... BUT


This is hard to edit because I'm not familiar enough with The Great Leap Forward, (to know the best way to write this). BUT the writing is pretty bad.

Tangent:
It reminds me of a college student trying to write "fancily", to sound more intellectual. It's a problem in academia. It sort of spreads in a group-affirming plague of "look how smart we are" for using fancy words that need decoding. (You might think I'm joking but this is a real problem, a few professors wrote fake articles with a lot of fancy words to see if they could get published, even though the words actually didn't mean anything, and they were repeatedly published!) Bottom line, sometimes it's not that you don't understand because you don't know enough English, but that no one understands unless they're faking it.

Ok, sorry,.. Diffused = spread over a large area. So basically it spread westward (geographically, to places to the west of China).

A: likely to ~ = ~ will probably happen

A: Cycle is when an event is repeated in the same order, and circle is a round shape
Ex: The seasons repeat in a cycle
Ex: My car wheel is shaped in a circle

A: it can be the same thing depending on context.

both can be used to set a standard for the minimum requirement.

Example

▪︎the washing machine will run upto 10 cycles before it stops

▪︎the washing machine won't stop "until 10 cycles" have passed

=> either way, the washing machine has to reach 10 cycles before it stops

another example instead of "cycles"

▪︎The bus can carry "up to 10 people" before departure

▪︎ the bus won't depart "until 10 people have entered.

hope its enough to understand :)
ごめん、時折は英語の難しいです。

A: “Cycle a bike” is not really the correct expression. “Cycling” is usually standalone and used on its own.

When a person says “I like cycling”, it is generally understood that they like riding bicycles.

If a person says “I like riding”, it could also mean they like riding horses or motorbikes.

The same goes for “riding a bike”, because “bike” can refer to both a bicycle and a motorbike.

A: I will talk only about their uses as verbs.
Cycle means to go in a loop or to cause to go in a loop. (a cycle)
"The game cycles through 3 states."
"Nitrogen cycles through the different organisms in the ecosystem."
"I cycled the slideshow's pictures as the guests watched."

Circulate means to move in a closed system, or to move between people (to put into circulation).
"blood circulates through the body."
"Air is circulated through the vents."
"I heard rumors were circulating about that."
"Let's circulate a pamphlet about it."

A: A cycle is a series of events or years that repeat; in other words, a period of time in which circumstances or occurrences repeat themselves. A circle is a shape.

The change of seasons in a year is an example of a cycle; it repeats every year.

A: @diphthong It means you are repeating the same behavior over and over, and you can’t stop. You are stuck doing the same things.

A: There you go

A: Check the question to view the answer

A: I used to go to college by bicycle

A: Check the question to view the answer

A: I believe the "cycle of hate" is supposed to be contributing to the "breeding of fear". To say "at the same time" in that way makes the relationship between the two not seem like a cause and effect type of relationship. That's my take on it!

A: To me, it sounds like a way to emphasize the emotional aspect, in order to appeal to the reader's feelings. "breeding" is a negative word (except when used literally like with dogs and animals)

"Why do we create this cycle of hate, polluting our the world with more fear?"

"Breeding" here also implies that it's kind of a downward spiral.

Why do we create this cycle of hate which only creates more fear? (instead of reducing fear)

A: because "breeding more fear" is the outcome of the "creation of the cycle of hate"

A: Hm... I'm not too sure about what you mean by "eliminate any wasted movement of the robot."

Ah, do you mean that you have to remove movements not used by the robot to make the production process shorter? 🙂

If this is what you meant, then the edited sentence should be: "To reduce the cycle time of the production process, we have to eliminate/remove any unnecessary movements performed by the robot."
>>> I reworded the bottom part to make it sound natural and more straightforward. "Remove" is another good option to use other than "eliminate." "Wasted" has a more negative connotation, so "unnecessary" is used instead. It's more neutral.

I hope this helps! 😊

A: American English doesn't frequently use the word 'cycle.' We'd say, "Did you ride there?" or "Did you ride your bike there?"
