For example, aluminum powders are preferred for glass surfaces and brass, whereas granulated jet black powder is used on silvery surfaces to create better contrast.

例如，铝粉是玻璃表面和黄铜的首选，而粒状喷射黑粉用于银色表面以产生更好的对比度。

With the help of this new technology, we can now see what the bird would see as it approaches a glass surface and come up with better solutions.

在这项新技术的帮助下，我们现在可以看到鸟在接近玻璃表面时会看到什么，并提出更好的解决方案。

But Whitehurst says don't confuse it with the old electric ranges with a gas top - you know, that just have those electric coils below the glass surface.

但怀特赫斯特说，不要将其与带有燃气灶的老式电炉相混淆——你知道，后者只是将这些电线圈置于玻璃表面下方。
