So what they do is, they're describing how these thermodynamic properties change, in terms of only state functions and state variables.

他们的作用是描述,随着状态函数和状态变量的变化，系统的热力性质如何变化。

If you have a quantity which is constant over any closed path, that quantity is a thermodynamics state function.

如果有一个物理量,对任何闭合回路积分是常数，这个物理量就是一个热力学态函数。

It's not going to be zero this time because we have non zero heat exchange between the system and the environment, right.?

热力学量，但是现在让我们看一下,我们的特殊函数，这次它不会是零,因为系统与外界的热量交换并不是零，对吧？

Since these are all state functions.

因为所有的热力学量都是态函数。

So we can write any of these functions in terms of G.

所以能够利用G写出任意一个热力学函数。
