In other words, if we don't have to worry about entropy or volume equilibrium is achieved when energy is at a minimum.

换句话说，如果我们不担心熵,和体积的平衡,那么能量就得是最小的。

That is, you minimize potential energy and you see things falling under the force of gravity and so forthgoing to potential energy minima in conformance with this result.

换句话说，你使得势能最小化,然后发现我们关注的东西,在重力或者其他力的作用下下落,直到势能最小的地方,这和我们刚才的结果是一致的。

These between B and C and E and F didn't get filled in because they were already just the smallest amount that they wanted to deal with, just half steps.

但是B和C,E和F之间并没有被填上,因为它们之间已经是最小的距离,只是个半音级,人们愿意摆弄的最小距离

In some sense, that's one reason to associate this as a kind of energy, H just like mechanical energy u or enthalpy H, it's the minimum free energy state that is the equilibrium state under the relevant conditions.

在某种意义下，这是我们把这些物理量称为能量的原因，就像机械能U和自由焓，具有最小自由能的状态在特定的条件下,就是平衡态。
