We control how we use time, we control the temperature in the environment, and hermetically seal ourselves in things.

我们控制时间的利用，我们控制周边环境的温度,我们把自己封闭在各种事务中，与世隔绝。

are all functions of state and parameters that we can control like temperature and pressure.

公式里面的全部都是态函数,我们控制态函数的参数比如温度或者压强。

It works by a control mechanism called negative feedback, and the thermostat is measuring the temperature and then sending a signal to a heater somewhere.

是通过一种叫做负反馈的控制机制,探测器测量温度,再把信号传给加热器

So why is temperature, for example, such an important thing to control?

那为什么体温是如此重要的调控指标呢

That is, in real life, the variables that you'd normally control aren't some combination of entropy and these variables, but really their temperature, volume and pressure, any couple of those, might be what you'd really have under experimental control.

在生活中，我们所能控制的,不是熵和其他变量的组合，而是温度，体积，压强，以及其中的两两组合,这些才是试验中所能控制的。

When you go from here to going outside, to going to a much hotter room, your temperature stays the same and your body is able to control this on your own, you don't have to think about it.

当你从这里走出去,去一个更热的房间的时候,你的体温不会变化,你的身体能自行控制体温,你无需要刻意想它
