We're familiar with polymers, plastics in our daily life; the chairs that you're sitting on are made of a kind of a plastic polymer that is basically an organic chemical that is cross-linked together.

我们应该很熟悉聚合物,比如日常生活中的塑料就是,你们坐的椅子,就是由一种塑料聚合物构成,它由基本的有机化学物质交联在一起

Things like steel and polymers, or plastics, and ceramics, and of course computers which has progressed remarkably due to the work of engineers in your lifetime, until now you can carry around a cell phone, which would have been unthinkable even 30 years ago.

包括钢铁,聚合物,塑料,陶瓷,当然,计算机这个在你们的有生之年,已经取得令人瞩目的进展的发明,也得归功于工程师的工作,现在你们的手机能随身携带,而这在三十年前是不可想象的

It operates in a similar fashion to DNA polymerase in that it denatures locally or opens up the double stranded DNA, but it's different in that it creates a new polymer from the DNA template in the language of RNA, using RNA nucleotides and not DNA nucleotides.

它的作用机制类似于DNA聚合酶,在局部使DNA双链变性,解旋,但不同的是,它合成了一个基于DNA模板的,使用RNA编码语言的新聚合物,即使用核糖核苷而非脱氧核糖核苷
