And just like for the gases, where we wanted to know what is the bottom of this curve which gives us the equilibrium, we can do the same thing.

就像气体的一样，这条曲线的底部，给出平衡点，这里也是一样的。

High prices reduce demand and thus move output down the supply curve, resulting in a new, lower-price equilibrium.

高昂的价格会减少需求从而将产量降低到供给曲线以下，恢复到一个新的、低价格的均势之中。

Then at equilibrium, this is equal to zero, you're at the bottom of that curve.

这等于零，处于曲线的地步。

As lower costs encourage firms to produce more at any given price (ie, the supply curve shifts from S1 to S2 in the chart), the long-term equilibrium level of output will rise and the price level will fall.
