They're not interacting at all so that's why the energy is the same as that for two individual atoms, that's what we're dealing with. As we get closer together, we start get lower and lower in energy.

它们之间没有任何相互作用，因此,体系的能量就等于两个分开的原子的能量，这就是我们要处理的，而随着我们的距离越来越近，我们的能量开始变得越来越低。

That's the huge force that we're talking about in terms of making a bond stable, but there are also repulsive forces, so you can imagine we're going to have electron-electron repulsion between the two electrons if we're bringing them closer together.

正是这个非常强的力,使得我们所讨论的这个键能够稳定存在，但是其中还有排斥力存在，大家可以想象一下,我们会有电子与电子之间的排斥力,如果让它们离得更近。

So since we have two lone pairs, we're going to be pushing down even further on the bonding electrons, so we're going to smoosh those bonds even closer together.

因为我们有了两个孤对，我们会把成键电子,更加向下压，所以我们把这些键更加紧得推到一起。
