Well, if you get the combustion chamber hot enough, in point of fact, there are some reactions between nitrogen and the oxygen.

如果燃烧室的温度足够高的话，实际上在氮气和氧气之间,会发生一些反应。

I mean, if the energy is lower to occupy a smaller volume, then if I have this room and a bunch of molecules of oxygen, and nitrogen and what have you in the air, and there are weak attractions between them, why don't they all just sort of glum together and find whatever volume they like.

我的意思是，如果占据小的体积会使能量降低，如果我有这样一个空间,和一些氧气，氮气和其他空气中有的气体，并且分子之间还有微弱的相互作用，为什么他们不黏在一起,然后占据他们所想要占据的体积。
