答案有点出乎意料，熵(用于度量无序程度)以不同速率增大，时快时慢。

The answer contains a surprise: Entropy (a measure of disorder) increases at different speeds, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.

好的，对特定的情况，我可以测量压强，确定熵，并且知道这就是变化的速率。

Well, I can, for any given case, measure the pressure, determine the entropy and I'll know what the slope of change will be.

在过去发表的非平衡热力学文献中所采用的一种方法就是对熵产生的速率重新加以定义，其目的在于确保熵产生的速率为非负值。

Giving a new definition for the rate of entropy production is a proof method adopted in some papers published recent years to guarantee that the rate is non-negative.
