So, thermo is also a big tease, as you can see from my descriptions of these laws here.

因此，热力学也是个大玩笑，从我下面对,这些定律的描述。

Let's go back and look at it from an energetic standpoint.

我们回到刚才的地方,从热力学的角度来研究。

It's like we have laws of thermodynamics that underlie the use of engines, but you can't just go from the laws of thermodynamics to an automobile; there are a million steps along the way.

这就好比热力学定律,为引擎的使用打下了理论基础,但你不能从热力学定律一步跨越到发明汽车,这中间还要经历成千上万的步骤

It turns out that when you're talking about macroscopic properties of matter, you don't need very many variables to describe the system completely thermodynamically.

实际上,当你谈及物质的宏观性质时，你并不需要很多变量才能从热力学上,完整地描述这个系统，’
