PROFESSOR: Great question. So the question is, how do you choose an algorithm, why would I choose to use a pseudo-polynomial algorithm when I don't know how big the solution is likely to be, I think that's one way to think about it.

教授：问得好，所以问题是，你怎样选择算法，为什么当我,不知道解决方案会有多大的时候,我要选伪多项式算法呢，我想这是一种思考问题的方式。

Soon when we're talking about multi-electron atoms, and I just want to introduce it here, that it is sort of opposing ideas that even though the s is the biggest and it's most likely that the electron's going to be furthest away from the nucleus, that's also the orbital in which the electron can, in fact, penetrate closest.

当我们说多电子原子时，我这里要先介绍一下，这些概念有些相反,虽然ｓ轨道最大,所以电子最可能远离原子核，但它上面的最容易，穿透到离原子核最近。

So think about what that means, we're, of course, not talking about this in classical terms, so what it means if we have an electron in the 2 p orbital, it's more likely, the probability is that will be closer to the nucleus than it would be if it were in the 2 s orbital.

想想这意味着什么，我们不是从经典的角度考虑，这意味着如果我们有个电子在2p轨道上，它更有可能比在2s轨道上,更加靠近原子核。
