Consider physics: Newtonian models were crude approximations of the truth (wrong at the atomic level, but still useful).

以物理为例：牛顿模型是近似真相的模型(牛顿模型在原子层面上是错误的，但是依旧有用)。

In a news release, the Swedish academy said the three were being honored "for having showed what the ribosome looks like and how it functions at the atomic level."

在一篇报道中，瑞典科学院称赞三位科学家：“说明了核糖体的构型以及在原子层面是如何作用的。”

Martha said that what we see around us isn't as predictable as it seems to be—there's a whole sub-atomic level of life we can't see, let alone predict or fully understand.

Martha说，我们所见所感的一切，并不像看起来那样可以预测——次原子级的世界完全存在于我们的感知之外，更谈不上预测或者完全理解。

It turns out that the antibonding orbital is a little bit higher from the atomic orbital level than the bonding orbital is lower.

这证明了,反键轨道,比原子轨道高,成键轨道比原子轨道第。

I would say with the aid of an energy level diagram explain the fact that helium is found as atomic gas and not molecular. How about this one?

我要说的是，在能级图的帮助下,可以解释氦气是单原子气体,而不是分子气体这一事实,那么这个呢？
