This whole thing is just crossed wires.

整件事就是个误会。

Soon after the Pupin coil was introduced, it was discovered that, by crossing the wires of two circuits at regular intervals, another unexplainable circuit was induced.

普平线圈推出后不久，人们发现，将两个电路的导线每隔一定时间交叉，就会感应出另一个无法解释的电路。

Meanwhile, other scientists have gone as far to suggest that we could actually have some crossed wires linking our visual perception to our senses of smell and taste on a physiological level.

与此同时，其他科学家甚至认为，在生理层面上，我们的视觉感知、嗅觉和味觉实际上可能存在一些交叉连接。

It's not just Telegram that's found itself in the cross wires, but also Elon Musk's X. A Brazilian judge has banned access to X after it refused to co-operate.

陷入纠纷的不只有 Telegram，伊隆·马斯克的 X 也陷入了困境。 由于 X 拒绝合作， 巴西法官已禁止其访问。

The expression originally comes from horse races, where they would put a wire at the finish line (where the horses would end up), and whichever one crossed the wire first was the winner.

这个表达最初来自赛马，他们会在终点线（马匹最终到达的地方）放一根铁丝， 谁先越过铁丝就是赢家。
