If I look at different points in my container during that path, I'm going to have to use a different value of pressure or different value of temperature That's not an equilibrium state, and that process turns out then to be an irreversible process.

如果我要研究在路径中容器里的,不同的点，我就得在容器里不同的点上使用,不同的压强值,或不同的温度值,实际上这不是个平衡态，这个过程是,不可逆过程。

They would bomb it, they would burn it, they would put it in this container inside water, and see how high the water temperature raises and that would give you a sense of the number of calories that it has.

研究人员会燃烧它,放入浸在水里的量热器,然后观察水温上升了多少,我们就对这种食物热量有所了解了

And what we now see is that-- to see whether that could be the case or not, we've got to get clear in our own minds about whether we believe in a neutral container theory, ... a positive, valuable container theory or-- and among those, between a fantastic and a modest container theory.

现在我们可以看到-,情况是不是这样，我们就要想清楚,我们相信的是中性容器理论，是积极的有价值容器理论还是-,有价值容器理论中的，理想容器理论或保守容器理论。

Well, that program was interesting because it had an inventory which was implemented in Scratch with a list which is kind of like a container that you can add things to again and again.

那个程序很有趣,它有一个用Scratch做出来的清单,还有一个貌似容器的列表,你可以不断往里面加东西。

.. Because we also have to add in, if we accept a valuable container theory, we also have to add in some extra positive points to take account of the fact that, well, at least you're alive or have the life or a person-- or whatever it is that you think is valuable in and of itself.

因为我们还要添加，如果我们接受有价值容器理论的话，我们还要添加一些额外的正数,你要考虑，你至少活着或者拥有人的生命-,或任何你觉得它本身有价值的东西。
