The total volume of water in the saturated sample must therefore be thought of as consisting of water that can, and water that cannot drain away.

"因此，人们认为充满水分的岩石样本的总含水量既包括可能会渐渐流失的水分，也包括不会流失的水分。

A de-aerated liquid is introduced into the chamber and pressured to ensure complete saturation. The saturated sample is then weighed again.

向真空箱中充入一种排干净了气体的液体（加大压力确保样品被液体完全饱和），测量此时样品的重量。

Much of the water in a sample of water-saturated sediment or rock will drain from it if the sample is put in a suitable dry place.

如果把水饱和的沉积物或岩石样品放在合适的干燥的地方，样品中的大部分水将从中流出。
