And as long as that smaller computation reduces to another smaller computation, eventually I ought to get to the place where I'm down in that base case.

如果我不属于基础事件,那么我需要把它简化为更简单的计算，随着计算的不断简化,最终我能分解成基础事件。

So they'd much rather just stay the way they are and not have another electron come on, and it turns out that halogens have the highest electron affinities.

所以它们更愿意保持在原来的状态,不愿意再增加一个电子,结果卤族元素具有最高的电子亲和能。

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。
