So, there's actually another way to graph it where we can directly graph the dissociation energy or the bond strengths.

其实，还有另外一种画这个曲线的方式,可以直接画出离解能的大小,或者键的强度。

We can know this information even if we just knew that the bond was stronger, we wouldn't need to look at a graph here, because it turns out that if you have a stronger bond, -- that also means that you have a shorter bond -- those two are correlated.

我们依然可以得到上面的信息,即使我们所知道仅仅是这个键更强，我们不需要去看这个图，因为事实上如果你有一个更强的键，这也就意味着你有一个更短的键-,这两点是互相关联的。

So, what this lets us do now is directly compare, for example, the strength of a bond in terms of a hydrogen atom and hydrogen molecule, compared to any kind of molecule that we want to graph on top of it.

因此，这让我们现在可以做到直接进行比较，比如，将一个氢原子，和一个氢分子的键的强度，与任何其它类型的分子进行比较,我们只需要把它的曲线也画在这幅图上。
