What we do care about is the energy of our orbitals that have electrons in them, and if we combined all four of the orbitals, then our hybrid orbitals would have more p character to them, so they'd actually be higher in energy.

是不是很高,我们不关心它的能量很高，我们关心的是，有电子的轨道的能量，如果我们把四个轨道结合。

So if we don't have to hybridize one of the p orbitals, we can actually end up with a lower energy situation, because now these s p 2 orbitals are 1/3 s character, and only 2/3 p character, instead of 3/4.

我们的杂化轨道就有更多的p轨道成分，所以它们的能量更高，如果我们不杂化这个p轨道，我们可以得到一个能量更低的情况。
