法國大革命期間，當法國引進公制時，數學家康多塞特說：“它是為所有人而存在的。”19世紀末20世紀初，許多國家相繼采用了公制，荷蘭、德國、意大利、葡萄牙、西班牙……甚至拉丁美洲也采用了公制！美國之所以沒有效仿，是因為以下幾個原因：典型的美國式的成本和轉換的不便。但是美國的科學自從有了重要的科學發現后，就不得不進行調整。其中之一就是以公制摩爾為基礎的原子量。所以，在這個現代科學的時代，在學校里堅持和仍然學習帝國制度幾乎是遲鈍的。當時每個國家都在效仿，但由于他們的“金錢和時間”問題，美國仍然使用舊的和現在幾乎過時的制度

When the metric system was introduced in France during the French Revolution the mathematician Condorcet said " It's for all people for all time ". Many countries followed at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century ( Holland, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain... ). Even Latin America adopted the metric system! The United States did not follow based on the following grounds, the cost ( typical American ) and the inconvenience of the change over. But American science had to adapt since important scientefic discoveries were made. One of them is the atomic weight based on the metric system ( the mole ). So, in this era of modern science it's almost becoming retarded to stick and to still learn the imperial system at schools. Every country had followed at time but because of their " money and time " issue are the United States still using the old ( and now almost obsolete ) system.

老實說，這個應該是顯而易見的。我們已經用了這么久了，現在換一個要花很多錢。另外，想想所有會被搞砸的生意，比如卷尺和尺子之類的。如果你愿意的話，你仍然可以用公制，但它不被認為是主要的衡量標準。不管怎么說，帝國制度并不是很難掌握，我不知道為什么有些人把它看得那么重要。-我不相信

To be honest with you guys, this one should be blatantly obvious. We've already used it for so long, and now it would cost a lot of money to switch. Also, think of all the bussinesses that would be screwed over, like tape measurements and rulers and such. You can still use the metric system if you want, but it isn't considered the main measurement. The imperial system isn't that hard to grasp on anyways, I don't know why some people make such a big deal out of it. - Icantbelieveitsnotbutter

世界其他地方已經發生了變化，但美國人希望世界仍然會為他們轉變。我在加拿大的科技行業工作，每次我們設計一些東西，我們都必須在帝國公司做，因為我們大部分產品出口到美國。我發現這對每個人都極不方便

The rest of the world has already switched and yet Americans expect the world to still convert for them. I work in the tech industry in Canada and every time we design something we have to do it in imperial because we do most of our exporting to the US. I find it extremely inconvenient for everyone.

在美國，科學和醫學藥理學已經有一段時間轉向公制了。謎團在于，除非你學的是高級化學或科學、建筑學，否則它為什么還在學校里教授……我的意思是，拜托，舊的系統就像你在中年一樣！誰根據一只腳采取措施？

Science and medical pharmacology have already switch for some time now in America to the metric system. The mystery is why it's still teached at school ( unless you're in advanced Chemistry or science, architecture... ). I mean, come on, the old system is like you're in the middle age! Who takes measures based on a foot?

這并不意味著我們美國人是愚蠢的。這意味著這里的人們太習慣了，甚至懶得學習一個新的系統。然而，在中西部，我們傾向于通過它需要多長時間來測量距離，而不是多遠等等。-斯萊耶里特

This doesn't mean we Americans are stupid. All that means is that people here are too used to it to even bother learning a new system. Out here in the Midwest, however, we tend to measure distances through how long it takes, rather than how far and stuff. - Slayerite

我是一個美國人，我同意這一點。我們家有時會使用公制，我在新加坡和撒克遜的數學教科書中使用公制，因為它更容易使用。我的意思是每件事都是10的冪和0。當我試圖學習帝國制時，很難進行轉換。去公制美國

I'm an American and I agree with this. Our family will sometimes use the metric system and in my textbook from Singapore and Saxon Math Textbooks use the metric system because it's just easier to use. I mean everything is in powers of ten with 0000s. When I tried to learn the imperial system it was very hard doing the conversion. GO METRIC AMERICA.

以下是你如何知道公制在各方面都是優越的。即使是英制單位也由+/根據各自的公制單位來定義。美國科學家已經在使用公制了

Here's how you know the metric system is superior in all regards. Even the units in the imperial system are defined by/based on their respective metric counterparts. American scientists already work with the metric system.

那是因為我們有更大的事情要擔心，比如在我們令人驚嘆的軍隊里訓練我們令人驚嘆的士兵。另外，誰在乎公制？我是說，到目前為止，它對我們有用。如果它沒有壞，就別修了

That's because we have bigger things to worry about like training our amazing soldiers in our amazing military. Plus, who cares about the metric system? I mean, it's worked for us this far. If it's not broken don't fix it.

這對我來說真的是一件大事。我住在美國，我拒絕理解帝國制，因為它太令人困惑了。我寧愿我們采用公制

This is a really big deal for me. I live in The United States and I refuse to understand the imperial system because it is just too confusing. I'd much rather prefer that we followed the metric system.

公制可以進行數萬、幾百、上千的轉換，其中大部分是零。公制單位之間有許多連接

The metric system can switch by tens, hundreds, thousands, which is mostly by zeros. And metric units have many connections to each other.
