The circuitous, logical route that we had to take in order to arrive at this new sense of Satan's size has everything to do with our status as temporally bound, temporally constrained readers.

我们需要经历一个迂回曲折的逻辑过程,来从新的意义上理解撒旦的高大,和我们目前处在的，作为世俗压制下的读者的地位，有着紧密的联系。

So, if we want to go from that stable state to that less stable state, we need to put in a certain amount of energy to our system, that difference between the free electron and the electron bound to the metal.

所以，如果我们想使电子,从稳态到达不够稳定的状态，我们需要引入一定数量的,能量到系统中，即自由电子和束缚于金属的,电子的能量差。

Then we read, or at least we think we read, that Satan's spear is small, and then we realize over the course of this reading process that Satan's spear is unimaginable, and we realize that our time-bound mode of knowing is ultimately inadequate to understand anything about the inscrutable truths of eternity: this is according to Fish.

然后又读到，至少我们认为读到，撒旦的长矛又很小，接着我们意识到了在阅读的过程中,撒旦的长矛实际上是不可想象的，并且我们被特定时代拘束的理解模式,是不足以理解任何,有关永恒的难以预测的真相的：,这是费什告诉我们的道理。

So we can think about what is our most loosely-bound electron, what's that highest energy orbital, and it's going to be the 2 p orbital, that's going to be what's highest in energy.

我们来想一想,它“束缚得最松“的电子是哪一个，能量最高的轨道是哪一个？,它就是，2，p，轨道，是能量最高的轨道。
