So, normally at this point, we do actually start class with a little bit of history from alchemy to modern chemistry, but I decided to skip that this year.

通常在这个时候,我们要从一些从炼金术,到现代化学的历史出发正式开始我们的课程。

What we are seeing here is a big transition from just experiment and documentation to modern chemistry.

我们见证了一个很大的过度,从只是实验和,文件材料到现代化学。

So, again, all together, this is the basis for modern chemistry, and examples I just gave you, are some of the things that modern chemists are working on -- some of the issues that our country faces and our world faces, and how chemistry is involved in that.

所以说,所有的这些就是现代化学最基本的基础，我刚给你们介绍的例子,都是现代化学正在研究的东西,一些我们国家和全世界面临的问题，以及它们和化学的关系。

And there will be a little bit of history in there, but this is mostly modern chemistry and represents the basic properties of matter, and it's basic properties of all matter, including living matter, which was what really interested me, that connection between chemistry and biology.

它们都有一些历史，但都是最现代的化学,代表了物质的最基本的性质，而且是所有物质的最基本性质，包括生物，这个让我很感兴趣，因为它连接着化学和生物学。
