重水之所以重是因为水中氢的重量是普通氢的两倍（它的原子核中有一个质子和一个中子，而不仅仅是一个质子）。
Heavy water is heavy because the hydrogen in it weighs twice as much as ordinary hydrogen (it has a proton and a neutron in its nucleus, instead of just a proton).
重水因含重氢而得名。重氢是氢原子的一种，其原子核中含有一枚中子，加之正常氢元素中的质子，重量为一般氢原子的两倍。
Heavy water gets its name because it contains deuterium, a form of hydrogen that has a neutron in its nucleus as well as the usual proton and thus weighs twice as much as the ordinary sort.
氢是最轻的元素，原子核中只有一个质子，而铀这种自然形成的最重元素的原子核中有92个质子。
Hydrogen, the lightest element, has a single proton whereas uranium, the heaviest naturally occurring one, has 92.
