And we can just extrapolate in a straight line We before saw some examples where I had an algorithm to generate points, and we fit a curve to it, used the curve to predict future points and discovered it was nowhere close.

我们可以干脆用一条直线来描述它,我们之前看到在一些例子中,我用一个算法去生成一些点，然后用一条曲线对它进行拟合，然后用这条曲线来预测未来的点,最后却发现结果完全不对。

The force may taper off, the force may not be given by a straight line, but for modest deformations, every spring will have a linear regime in which the force is linearly proportional to the stretching.

它产生的力可能会渐渐消失,力的曲线可能不是一条直线,而有轻微的弯曲,每个弹簧都有一个线性区间,在这一区间内,力和伸长量是线性关系

So, if we look at this graph where what we're charting is the internuclear distance, so the distance between these two hydrogen atoms, as a function of energy, -- what we are going to see is a curve that looks like this -- this is the general curve that you'll see for any covalent bond, and we'll explain where that comes from in a minute.

因此，如果我们来看一看这幅曲线图,这里我们画的横坐标是核间距，也就是这两个氢原子之间的距离，纵坐标是能量，我们看到的这是能量关于核间距的曲线-,这是一条普遍的曲线，在研究任何共价键时你都会遇到，我们马上就会解释一下它是怎么来的。

If you run these curves only on non-smokers you get rid of that J at the end of the curve and you get pretty much a function that's to the right of the curve here.

如果仅在不吸烟人群中做统计,那么左末端就不会出现J形曲线,而是会得到一条,从左到右逐渐上升的完美的函数曲线
