The correct expression is:

I believe 开始倒计 is just an unusual weird abbreviation for Chinese rhythm. People normally say 开始倒计时 to mean "start the countdown".
开始 start, begin
倒计时 (verb) count down, (noun) countdown
Chinese rhythm requires four characters per pause, therefore it is unusually abbreviated to 开始倒计.
迫不及待 is an ancient Chinese idiom for "can't wait anymore&...

With the help of everyone who took the time to answer this question, I was able to find the correct term I was looking for. The answer is Hào (号), which means "day of the month". I especially want to thank @Tyr and @monalisa for the help in getting me in the right direction to find this answer.

It is a straight forward question about the translation of specific scientific (mathematical) terms, and Mou某's answer referencing from a creditable source is also a straight forward answer. Therefore, It should be accepted as the answer to the question
One thing I want to add is, these scientific terms mean very little to the general public. When people in ...

Zeptoseconds = 仄普托秒 / 仄秒 / (Taiwan Guoyu: 介秒)
仄（仄普托）= zepto-
Yoctoseconds = 幺科托秒 / 幺秒 / (Taiwan Guoyu: 攸秒)
幺（幺科托） = yocto-
The shortened forms, i.e.: 仄秒 & 幺秒 are probably more accessible than their long forms.

她在网球场上疾如闪电。She is fast as lightning on the tennis court.
上疾 here isn't a word; it's just 上 and 疾 happening to meet at the word boundary.
在……上 is the structure to mean "on" in this sentence.
疾如闪电 is a more literary way of saying 快得像闪电. "疾" has the archaic meaning of "fast; quick", which is rather unproductive in forming phrases ...

You're reading too much into it. The only clue to this meaning in the original characters has now been lost.
You can take a look at the following dictionary excerpt to see exactly what information has vanished:

A few translations (some can only be used in a specific context):

你对未来的期许是什么? (What is/are your hope/hopes for the future?)

As a native Chinese person, I think 没事找事 is a good expression in such case. If you tell me someone always 没事找事, I would interpret it as this person always try to make a fuss or generate negative drama. Another verb I think colloquially pass for me is '搞事情'. Or if you wish to pay tribute to a certain immortal elder, 搞个大新闻.
e.g.
他 整天 没事找事。
别 跟我 搞事情 啊。
你们 别 整天 ...

[this answer is based on my own experience as a native Mandarin Chinese speaker who lives in the urban area in Southern China, is rather young, and is online a lot. Please consider this as it relates to my perception of the language when reading my answer.]
I actually can't think of a good colloquial equivalent of drama. But 戲精/戏精 and 加戲/加戏 are perfectly ...
2
We don't have such concept in Chinese. In this case, we would probably just say 演戏 or just 装. E. g. 她总在我面前演戏。 or 她总在我面前装。
The sentence can be used when someone tries to act differently to achieve some dramatic effect.
Anyways, not sure if this can fulfill your needs.

The term 'dream' can be a metaphor for 'goal, hope, or desire' in English. It is the same in Chinese. Therefore, translate 'What are your dreams?' as “你的梦想是什么？” is perfectly appropriate.
梦想 = dream and hope

Quote:- "A way of relating to the world in which a person consistently overreacts to or greatly exaggerates the importance of benign events"

There are different kinds of drama, for example, 悬疑剧, 推理剧, 感情剧, 伦理剧. What you wanted to express is a specific kind of drama --
活剧 - Live drama
诙谐有趣而类似戏剧情节的真实事件 - humorous and interesting real events that resemble drama plots

It is very straight forward using Google Translate
传承 - impart and inherit
跨越 - leap across
沧桑的 - of vicissitudes
壁垒 - barrier
I would like to talk about the term 沧桑
沧桑 came from the idiom 沧海桑田
沧海 (vast sea)
桑田 (mulberry field)
Together, it means 'vast sea became a mulberry field'. It describes unimaginable changes that occurred over eons
沧桑:

Here's an English translation from YouTube

I like https://jyut.net/ where you can enter jyut6ping3 and even leave the tone number out. It cross-references a number of other dictionaries, which makes it particularly robust.
If you're not totally comfortable with jyut6ping3, https://shyyp.net/ can read characters out loud to check your guesses.

Here are three translations for you to muse over.
Miao Guang's translation:
Ever since my arrival in Huangzhou,
Three Cold-Food Festivals* have come and gone;
Despite my intention to cherish each Spring,
Yet the passing Spring allows no such dream.
This year, there is once again bitter rain,
Two months of miserable autumn-like days;
Smelling the scents of ...

its by situations,
first, your translate is right when request some feedback
(e.g. 你們一人說一句, 給我點回應)
sometimes it means too much responses

"一個月中的幾天" might be the right translation
update
Now I understand your question!
If you want to list every days of the month, the answer might be
這個月有 (這些日子), 初一, 初二, 初三 ...
這個月有 (這些日子), 一日, 二日, 三日 ...
這個月有 (這些日子), 一號, 二號, 三號 ...
They are all right, but I prefer the second one or the third one
For example, if you want to list every days in ...

No it is incorrect. I assume you want to say '(The number of）days of the month'.
It should be:
这个（This as in the current one or one that was mentioned in previous context) or 本 (This as in the current one) 月 (month) 的 ('s) 天 (day) 数 (number).
天的数月 makes no sense to me as a native speaker. It would be if I say day's number month in English.

I don't think there is a translation into standard English.
In some regional dialects (India, Singapore, maybe some other places) you hear people using the words "junior" and "senior", which roughly mean "person who goes/went to the same school of a lower/higher year". E.g. "she is my senior".
In very informal ...

We sometimes think of students and teachers as belonging to a family tree.
In this context, your 师兄 or 师弟 is your "academic brother" and your 师姐 or 师妹 is your "academic sister"; together they are your "academic siblings".

master-disciple
mentor-protege
I am not familiar with the Chinese words provided enough to completely understand their mean but I think the online dictionary did a pretty good job at helping me understand the meaning.
Master-disciple is more of a teacher-student relationship but not in school. That relationship is similar to the teacher-student one in school ...

Google translate doesn't support translating from pinyin, since pinyin isn't a language in itself, it's just a transcription system that helps to type and learn Chinese. There isn't a body of text written in pinyin for google translate algorithms to learn from, but it can still take guesses for transliterated words based on people inputting them.
However, if ...

门店 and 门市店 sometimes both mean store or store front.
Given that 门店 = "outlet", how do you say "door shop"?
It is correct to use 门店 to refer to a store that sells doors, but doing so may cause confusion if taken out of context. It is very rare for a store to only sell doors. Those that do are often called 建材城 (similar to Home Depot), or ...

The term 门店 (outlet; retail store) is usually tied to a brand name or a manufacturer's name
Example:
Apple Store is a retail store that belonged to Apple, which sells only Apple products (苹果商店是苹果公司的门店)
到某门窗厂的门店选购门窗 (Go to the outlet store of a door and Window factory to buy doors and windows)
If you say 去门店買门, you are implying that the store only sells ...
1
門業公司 or 大門設計 if you are looking for a shop that sells just doors, perhaps designer doors. But most shops carry other items as well, so it is common practice to visit a 門窗公司, 裝修公司, 廚櫃公司, or 木業公司 for the wooden product, or a 五金行 for the metallic bits.

I think the translation will be this.
Because it is scientific?
I think you can use this phrase when somebody insists on self-assertion.

which gives a contradiction.
There is no contradiction. Everything described in "他以为 (he thought)" is hypothetical.
Similarly, everything described in [He said: "...." ] doesn't need to be in the same universe with the rest of the text.

Because.
You know that snarky little one word answer that kids like to give? That's 因为所以(科学道理).
Although, and this is quite bizarre, Cambridge gives almost the exact same English example in its dictionary when explaining the word because:
used before giving a short reason or explanation, especially when you think the reason or explanation is obvious or you ...

I remember the the full slang was like
因为所以
科学道理
国家机密
干嘛告你
which was used when this person does not want to explain something, so he/she explains it with nonsense instead.
But it was a really old slang we used in primary school in 2000s.

This native speaker certainly reduced a sentence to a list of single terms. Let me expand it back to a regular sentence
因為所以科學道理 (because therefore scientific truth)
因為， 所以， 科學道理. (Because, Therefore, Scientific truth)
有 '因為' 之後就有 '所以'. 這是一個科學的道理 (When there is a 'because' we'll have a 'therefore'. It is a scientific truth
