But if you touch the valve going into your tire which basically measures the temperature of the air going into your tire, that is getting hot, right.

以至于浑身发热,如果你摸气筒的阀门,相当于近似测量了进入轮胎的气体的温度，它会很热，对吧。

At any instant, your motion, if it follows any curve, locally can be approximated as being part of some circle.

在任何时候,如果做曲线运动,都可以近似地认为是圆周的一部分

So if we think about what we would do to actually write out this configuration, we just write the energy levels that we see here or the orbital approximations.

如果我们考虑我们所做的去,实际写出电子构型，我们只是写出我们看到的能级,或者是轨道近似就可以了。

All right. I tried it on 2, I surely didn't expect a precise and exact answer to that but I got something, and if you square this, you'll find the answer kept pretty darn close to 2.

好，我试试求2的平方根,我当然不希望得到一个完全准确的答案了,但是我得到了一个近似值，试试将这个数平方一下,你会发现结果和2相当接近。

There seems to be at least built in to Aristotle's account of politics a certain flexibility a certain latitude of discretion that in some passages even seems to border on a kind of relativism.

那看似建入于,亚里士多德对政治的描述,某种弹性，某种恣意的判断力,在有些段落甚至,看起来近似一种相对论。

Because you can come up with an infinite number of values but if you have a finite amount of space and certainly a computer has a finite amount of disk space or RAM, you have to make approximations.

你可能会碰到一些无限的值,如果你只有有限的空间,废话，电脑当然只有一个有限的磁盘空间,或RAM，我们得做一些近似处理。

What we've learned so far is as a first approximation, what we want to do is put the atom with the lowest ionization energy in the middle here.

我们之前所学的可以作为第一近似，我们要做的是把电离能,最低的原子放在中间。

In addition, if we compare this to the diameter of an atom, which is on the order of somewhere between one and ten angstroms, now we're seeing that, in fact, this wavelength is significantly larger than its environment.

另外，如果我们把它,与原子的直径相比，原子直径近似1到10埃米之间,我们现在来看看，事实上，这个波长比它所处的环境大很多。

It's always a good first approximation, because you need to start somewhere in terms of drawing Lewis structures, but then if you go and figure out the formal charge and you just have lots of charge separation or very high charges, like a plus 2 and a minus 2 and a minus 1 all different places in the atom, what it should tell you is maybe there's a better structure.

它总是一个好的第一近似，因为在画路易斯结构的时候,你总需要一个起点，但是如果你在算出形式电荷之后,发现有很多电荷分开了,或者说有很高的电荷，比如有一个正二，一个负二，还有一个负一1,在原子的各个地方，这应该就是在告诉你,或许还有一个更好的路易斯结构。

So, let's write this one electron orbital approximation for berylium, that sounds like a pretty complicated question, but hopefully we know that it's not at all, 1s22s2 it's just 1 s 2, and then 2 s 2.

所以让我们写出,铍的单电子轨道近似，那听起来像是一个更为复杂的问题，但是希望我们知道它一点都不是，它仅仅是。

But instead in this chemistry course, I will just tell you the solutions to differential equations. And what we can do is we can start with some initial value of r, and here I write r being ten angstroms. That's a good approximation when we're talking about atoms because that's about the size of and atom.

但在这个课里，我会直接，告诉你们微分方程的解,我们可以给距离r一个初始值,我这里把r取10埃,当我们讨论原子时,这是一个很好的近似,因为原子的尺寸。
