"When you are going three miles a minute, it can be hard to clearly define that."

And again, we can define what that most probable radius is, that distance at which we're most likely to find an electron.

同样的，我们可以定义最可能距离，在这里找到电子的概率最大。

But something that tugs at an idea or a feeling that you really can't define or name, that is timeless.

但那些激发你某种莫名的想法或感觉的东西，却是永恒的。

And when we're talking about the amplitude of the wave, we're talking about the deviation from that average level. So, if we define the average level as zero, you can have either a positive amplitude or a negative amplitude.

当我们讨论一个波的振幅时,我们说的是偏离平均位置的量,如果我们把平均位置,定义为零的话，那幅值不是,正的就是负的，有时候人们在。

If we defined food differently: that it's something that nurtures the body, something found in nature, something that doesn't harm the environment-- there are a number of criteria one can apply to define a food-- then we might come up with a different definition than this, but this is the way the nutrition field generally looks at it.

如果我们给出不同的定义,滋养身体的物质,在自然界找到的物质,不会威胁到身体的物质,有很多标准可以拿出来定义食物,我们也许可以就此重新进行定义,但这就是营养学看待食物的方式

We're going to find other properties that do care about the history of the system like work, that you put in the system, or heat that you put in the system, or some other variables But you can't use those to define the equilibrium state.

我们还会发现其他一些,与系统的历史有关的性质,比如你对系统做的功，或者你向系统传递的热量，或其他的变量,但你不能用它们,来定义平衡态。

That is the whole triumph of calculus is to know that by looking at the position now, the position slightly later and taking the ratio and bringing later as close as possible to right now, we define a quantity that we can say is the velocity at this instant.

这就得靠微积分了,通过了解它现在的位置,和一小段时间以后的位置,计算它们的比,再让时间间隔尽可能缩短,我们就定义了一个,被我们称之为瞬时速度的物理量

Once I've got that, you notice I can now define a polar point, same way. Notice I've now solved one of my problems, which is, in each one of these cases here, I'm creating both x y and radius angle values inside of there.

你们注意到我现在可以，定义一个极坐标点了，以同样的方式,请注意到现在，我已经解决了我的问题之一了，也就是，在这些例子中的每一个,我在里面都创建了x，y值。

We have one node here, and we can again define that most probable radius.

在这里有个一节点，另外我们可以定义最可能半径。
