aluminum can

基本解释

As with glass, aluminum can be recycled over and over again.
跟玻璃一样，铝可以一次次回收利用。
Metals such as aluminum can also form foams -- and because of their greater rigidity, they could, in theory, dissipate as much energy as a polymer foam in a much thinner layer.
金属，如铝，也可以制备成泡沫材料。由于金属更高的刚度，理论上，更薄金属泡沫就可以吸收聚苯乙烯泡沫所能吸收的能量。
To test future rocket designs, NASA is employing an age-old bar trick: Slowly and deliberately apply pressure to an aluminum can until it crumples. No foreheads will be involved, however.
美国国家航空航天局（NASA）将采用一种古老方法来测试未来火箭的设计方案，把一个没有盖子的大铝罐逐渐慢慢的加压，直至把它压碎。

What is this? You say it's an aluminum can.
