And our other reference point is the triple point of water - reference points become zero Kelvin, absolute zero, and the triple point.

而使用绝对零度,它与压强无关,是最低的温度，另一个参考点是水的三相点。

So, you assign values to very specific states of matter and call those the reference points for your temperature. For instance, freezing of water or boiling of water, the standard ones.

那么你对物质的,某些特殊状态指定数值,把它们叫做你的温度的参考点,比如水的冰点或沸点,它们都是标准。

And the triple point of water is 16K that temperature and pressure - there's a unique temperature and pressure where water exists in equilibrium between the liquid phase, the vapor phase, and the solid phase.

与水的三相点,我们定义它为273。,水的三相点,是一个特定的温度和压强,可以使水的液态，气态和固态三相共同达到平衡，三相点是液态。
