It's only to say that I can't escape the fact that the very first movement of mind, not the last movement but the first movement of mind, is interpretative.

只能说我不能回避的事实,是我思维的第一反应，不是最后反应而是第一反应，就是解读。

When I say "pigeon," I don't really seem to have any particular sense of an onomatopoetic word, but if I use the Latin, pipio, which means "to chirp," all of a sudden I say, "Oh, that's onomatopoetic."

当我说鸽子的时候,这个词并不能，反应它自身的意思，但是如果我用拉丁语说鸽子，也就是咕咕“,这就是拟声了“

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。

Enzymes work best, enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions and our bodies operate by elaborate networks of chemical reactions, When we're off from that temperature then they don't work properly.

举酶这个例子再好不过,酶是一种具有催化作用的蛋白质,人体依靠精密复杂的化学反应网络来运转,如果我们体温与之相差较大,这些酶就不能正常工作

And often, if you want to make a lot of it, you have to think about the thermodynamics of the system, how fast the reactions will go and kinetics, and then whether they'll go, the thermodynamics, and sometimes then you need to adjust the reactions, maybe use a transition metal to make it go better.

这种分子就不能正常工作，而且通常来说,如果你要大量生产一个东西,你必须考虑系统的热力学，反应速率和动力学,还有反应是否会发生，热力学，而且有时候你需要调整反应的发生。

I couldn't have told you, for example, if we look at a phosphate group, that that's going to be incredibly important in DNA, that it's also an incredibly important group when you're dealing with proteins and whether you're turning the function of a protein on or off.

怎么和化学反应相联系起来的，更不记得其它我更不感兴趣的规律,我不能告诉你，如果我们看磷酸盐,它们对于构成DNA十分重要,也是构成蛋白质的重要组份,它是否能打开或关闭一个蛋白质的功能。
