But at the same time, entropy is going to be favoring whichever side has higher entropy, has more disorder, and there's a balance that's achieved.

但是同时熵的变化可能,支持反应向着具有更高熵更无序的方向进行，这就是最终达到的平衡。

Energy may be favoring reaction in one direction, toward let's say products that have lower energy.

能量上的变化可能支持反应，向着产物具有更低能量的方向进行。

So, then we go to thermodynamics and chemical equilibrium, and this is really about chemical reactions -- weather a reaction will go, will it be spontaneous, if there an equilibrium, what direction will the reaction be shifted in.

然后我们要讲到热力学和化学平衡,这都和化学反应有关，一个反应是否能发生,是不是能自发反应，如果存在化学平衡，它会朝什么方向移动。

But it doesn't tell you, by itself, which direction things run in.

但是这些物理量并不能告诉我们，反应朝着那个方向进行。
