毕竟，太阳中任何元素的原子，比如说铁，都比陨石标本的原子要多得多，但这两种物质中铁和硅的比例可能是可以比较的。

After all, the Sun has many more atoms of any element, say iron, than does a meteorite specimen, but the ratios of iron to silicon in the two kinds of matter might be comparable.

但是，硅的脆性也限制了其应用范围。

But the brittleness of silicon limits its USES.

硅的生产是绝对不会亏本的！

The silicon production is absolutely non wasteful.

Gallium arsenide switches ten times faster than silicon All of a sudden,I've got a clock speed ten times faster with no change in design.

砷化镓启动的速度是硅的10倍,突然，我得到了10倍快的时钟速度,但是设计没有发生任何改变。

And in this case we're going to look at silicone, and we'll say if you can point out to me which requires the least amount of energy.

这次我们要做的是关于硅的，我们来看看大家是不是,能够为我指出那一项需要消耗的能量最少。

Construction is a combination of workmanship and choice of materials. Take this computer, if I pull the silicon out, I replace it with gallium arsenide, leave everything else the same.

构造则是技巧和材料的选择,的结合，拿这个电脑为例，如果我将硅取出，替换成砷化镓，其他东西不变。
