He is getting us out of that Aristotelian rut and moving us back to something that makes more sense.

他将我们从亚里士多德的规律,并将我们带回到,更有道理的规律。

So, for starters we'll keep that as our zero energy, we're going to change it soon to make something that makes more sense in terms of bonding, but we'll keep that as zero for now.

因此，首先我们将会保持零点能的这个定义，但很快我们就会对它进行修改,使它在讨论成键时更合理，但是目前我们还是暂时采用这种定义。

That kind of makes sense, but there's more, of course, here than the moon to describe Satan's shield.

这能说得通了，但是除此之外，还有比月亮更适合的类比撒旦的屏障的东西。

So whenever we're thinking about energy states, it's lways more stable to be more low in an energy well, so that's why it makes sense that it's favorable, in fact, to have an electron interacting with the nucleus that stabilizes and lowers the energy of that electron by doing so.

负的能量越多，能级越低,无论何时，能级总是越低越稳定,所以这就是为什么电子更,倾向于通过和原子核相互作用,来稳定并降低电子的能级。

These were very young scientists, of course, so what you would expect that they would do, which makes sense, is go to someone more established in their field, because they have the completely radical revolutionary idea, let's just run it by someone before we go ahead and publish this paper that makes this huge statement about this fourth quantum number.

他们是非常年轻的科学家，所以你们可以想象他们会怎么做，很自然的，他们去请教他们领域里更权威的人，因为他们的概念是彻底的革命性的，让我们在发表这个关于,第四个量子数的巨大的发现之前,先和别人讨论一下。

Something I'll also point out as you see these dashed line that tell you where the individual molecular orbitals are arising from, as you get to higher and higher atomic numbers of molecules that you're making, it makes a lot more sense to look at a diagram when you draw these dotted lines in, because they can start to get a little bit confusing.

我要指出的是，你们看这些虚线,它们告诉你,每个分子轨道的起源是什么，当你的原子数,越来越高的时候，画出这些点线,使图更容易理解，因为现在开始变得有一点混乱了。
