詞匯解析:
1、eligible for 合格;夠資格
eg:It will not be eligible for recovery during server start up.
在服務(wù)器啟動(dòng)恢復(fù)期間它就不是合格的了。
2、smooth transition 順利過(guò)渡,平穩(wěn)過(guò)渡
eg:This ensures a smooth transition to the final state and also assures that a single failure, if one occurs, does not bring down the entire enterprise.
這可確保平穩(wěn)過(guò)渡到最終狀態(tài),還能確保單個(gè)故障(如果出現(xiàn)了)并不會(huì)讓整個(gè)企業(yè)陷入崩潰狀態(tài)。
