If I get you down to a cluster of about 30 water molecules, the boiling point is a function of the size of the water droplet.

如果对于一个由30个水分子,组成的簇，沸点是,水珠尺寸的函数。

You need a functional form that connects the value at one state of matter, the freezing point of water to another phase change, the boiling point of water.

你需要一个函数形式来,连接物质某个态对应的温度值，如水的冰点，和另一个相变,如水的沸点。

If everything is the same, you know, when you were a kid someone would say, which has a higher boiling point, a quart of water or a gallon of water?

如果每个东西都一样，当你是个还是一个孩子的时候，有人说，那个有更高的沸点，1夸脱水还是1加仑水？

And Celsius first used the boiling point of water, and called that 100 degrees Celsius, and the freezing point of water and called that zero degrees Celsius.

定义一些参考点，例如摄氏温标定义水的沸点，是100摄氏度,冰点是0摄氏度。
