He is exclusively concerned with fiction and how we read fiction, how we come to understand fiction, and how we determine the meaning of a work of fiction.

他只关注文学，以及我们怎样读文学，怎样来理解文学，怎样确定一部文学作品的意义。

So, this is what we're going to measure, and this is what we're going to determine.

这就是我们要测量的，这就是我们要确定的，现在。

So I said that this technique was used to experimentally determine what the different binding energies or the different ionization energies are for the different states in a multielectron atom.

我说过，这项技术被用来,在实验上确定多电子原子的,各个不同态相应的束缚能,或者电离能。

You don't really puzzle your head about questions of interpretation, how we determine the validity of interpretation and so on, until A) meaning becomes terribly important to you, and B) the ascertainment of meaning becomes difficult.

你一般不会在诠释，和如何确定诠释的正确与否，这样的问题上纠结，除非：1，意义对你来说很重要，2，确定意义很困难。

Well, for instance, you could build machines that when babies suck on a pacifier they hear music or they hear language, and then you could look at how much they suck on the pacifier to determine what they like.

举例来说,你可以制造一个机器,每当婴儿吮吸奶嘴,他们就会听到音乐或是话语,然后你可通过观察婴儿有多喜欢吮吸奶嘴,来确定他们喜欢音乐还是话语

Well, I can, for any given case, measure the pressure, determine the entropy and I'll know what the slope of change will be.

好的，对特定的情况，我可以测量压强，确定熵,并且知道这就是变化的速率。

You could watch where it localizes in the cell, there are fluorescent assays you could use to determine what other proteins it interacts with.

你可以看到它在细胞的什么地方，你可以用荧光化验的办法确定,它和其它什么蛋白质相作用。

- So the first thing that we want to do, if we're thinking about something like this, is just to determine exactly what orbitals are causing the five different lines that we're seeing in the spectrum.

我们要做的最要紧的事，如果我们在思考这种问题的话，其实只不过是,准确地确定哪些轨道会导致,这五条分立谱线在光谱中出现。

So now we're done, actually there is one more step, which is to determine the formal charge.

那么我们现在做完了，实际上应该还有一步，那就是确定形式电荷。

And so, we'll be able of follow that further and see really how to determine the direction of spontaneity for a whole set of processes,really in principle for any processes, went analyzed properly.

我们接下来，就进一步看看,怎么确定一个,任意自发物理,过程的方向，的整个过程。

If I went on and told you what the different incident light was, and what the electrons were ejected with, and then you could look up the ionization energy for the particular different elements, you should be able to actually determine exactly which element it is, but just with the information given, we can only narrow it down to these choices here.

如果我继续告诉大家入射光源是什么，出射电子的动能是多少，那么你可以去查一查,以上各个元素的电离能，这样你就应该能确定,这个元素到底是哪个，但是只凭题目中的信息，我们只能把范围缩小至以上几种元素。

So in principle, if I measure how much hotter, I can determine how much heat was produced, and from that, I should be able H to calculate delta H at T1.

所以原则上，如果我测量，变热了多少，我就能确定，有多少热被产生,从中我就可以计算T1下的Δ
