Another instance of disorganized thinking is derailment, where a person just goes on numerous and many unrelated tangents.

另思维混款例子是“脱轨”，就会把很多不相关事情扯到起。

Not really. I feel somewhat like an inverse tangent function that's approached an asymptote. Are you saying you're stuck?

不太好，感觉像是反正切曲线接近渐近线了。你是说你卡住了？

That's ridiculous. Sheldon, I vote that is not a tangent.

太荒谬了。Sheldon，我投票那没有离题。

A task leader can make sure that the agenda is actually getting accomplished and cut off people that are going on tangents.

务领导者可以确保议程是真正完成，并打断那些离题。

The circular arguments you're having make your head spin because they go around and round on unrelated tangents points that make no sense.

你循环论证让你晕头转向，因为它们在毫无点上绕来绕去。

Like Bugs or Daffy, he loved to go off on a tangent, but Chuck Jones's tangents were more than just entertaining.

像兔八哥和达菲鸭样，他喜欢讲着讲着就跑题，但是查克·琼斯跑题不仅仅是为了娱乐。

You said " quantum coupling." That made me think of the show Quantum Leap. That's a tangent and it's your fault.

你说了“量子耦合” 那让我想到了《时空怪客》。是你偏离了正题。

We didn't have to...that was clearly a tangent. Now come on. Back to work. If we're leaning towards quantum coupling...Aah! Why?

我们没必要投... 刚刚显然离题了。快点，回到正事上。如果我们倾向于量子耦合...啊！干嘛？

So, for example, I don't think that being a math person means that you can recite the formulas between the sines, cosines, tangents and to use logarithms and exponentials interchangeably.

所以，比如，我认为成为数学家不是指你要能背诵正弦、余弦、正切函数公式和转化运用对数和指数。

A lot of students lose points here because they start writing without having really thought about their argument, and they usually change their argument midway, or they lose track or they go off on a tangent.

很多学生在这里失分是因为他们没有真正思考他们论据就开始写作，他们通常会在中途更改论据，或者他们会迷失方向，或者突然背离原来思路。

I studied trigonometry for a month. I sometimes dreamed about sine, cosine and tangent, about mysterious angles and concussed computations, but for all this I made no real progress. I could not self-teach trigonometry. But I knew someone who had.

我学习了月三角学。我有时会梦见正弦、余弦和正切，梦见神秘角度和让我绞尽脑汁计算，尽管如此，我并未取得何实质性进展。我无法自学三角学，但我认识自学成功。
