So, let's, for example, look at nitrogen. So n 2, we can do the chart here in green, so it's the green dotted line, and what we see is that we have now defined this energy as where the 2 nitrogen atoms are separated.

那么，让我们举个例子，看一下氮，那么氮分子，我们可以把它用绿色曲线画在这，这是绿色的虚线，可以看到,我们已经定义为零点能，当两个氮原子分离时。

So you have what are called escape characters like backslash N that is the shorthand notation of telling the computer put a new line character here.

幸亏我们有一些类似反斜杠n的转义字符,这只是一种简化方式,用来告知电脑要在这新添一行。

First there was the observation by Michelson who back in the late 1880s had done very precise interferal metric measurements of the hydrogen lines and had observed that the 656 nanometer line 3 associated with the transition of n equals 3 to n equals 2 was, in fact, a doublet.

首先是麦克逊,在1880年底的观察,他以公制单位对氢原子的光谱线,作了准确的，无其他因素干扰的，测量,发现当n值由3变为2时,会同时得到波长为656纳米的谱线3,实际上是有两条线。

If n is greater than zero, I decided I would say, "You picked a positive number, backslash n," so put the cursor on the next line, else if n was not less than zero, I say, "You picked a negative number, backslash n."

如果n比0大，我就决定来说：,“你选择了一个整数，反斜杠n“，所以你把光标,放在下一行，另外如果n不小于0，我说：,“你选择一个负数，反斜杠n“

You can certainly hit Enter but as we saw-- seen that very quickly makes a mess of your code and such and so backslash N is new line.

你也可以敲回车键-,但是会让你的代码看起来乱七八糟,反斜杠n就是换行符。

So this line or these lines of code up here are arguably constant time steps to say if N is less than 2 in return, that it will always take maybe one step, maybe two steps, some number of fixed CPU cycles.

如果N小于2并返回,那么这些行所对应的代码,通常只需要执行一步，或者两步，具体数字与CPU周期有关。

I mean, you'll play with it in great-- with great delight this semester, you will see that backslash N is the standard in any text file for creating what we know as new line characters.

我是指，这学期，你们会很高兴-,和它打交道，同时你们也会看到,在任何文本文件里，反斜杠n已经是,换行的代名词了。
