Inside that little sphere of plutonium is an even tinier sphere of polonium and beryllium.

在那小小的钚球体里是一个更小的钚和铍球体。

For beryllium, we may make it some berries because they sound very familiar.

对于铍，我们可把它想成一些浆果，因为它们听相似。

And so what do you think about beryllium?

那么, 您如何看待贝里林呢?

Let's watch what happens with beryllium.

让我们看看铍会发生什么情况。

A little bit of beryllium was made as well, but it was radioactive, and rapidly decayed into lithium.

也产生了少量铍，但它具有放射性，并迅衰变为锂。

And you'd say, oh, four protons, that is beryllium.

你说，哦，四个质子，那是铍。

The mirror is made of lightweight beryllium and covered with gold.

镜子由轻质铍制成， 并镀金。

Microcuries and millicuries are confused, as are megawatt-days and kilowatt-days and plutonium and beryllium.

微居里和毫居里经常被混淆，兆瓦和千瓦钚和铍也常常被搞混。

Beryl is made from beryllium, aluminum silicate, and it's usually a light green color.

绿柱石由铍铝硅酸盐构成，通常呈淡绿色。

But in practice, that beryllium is really unstable and just decays very quickly.

但实际上，那种铍极不稳定，会迅衰变。

If you're beryllium you're going to have two.

如果你是铍，你就会有两个。

This is made of beryllium copper.

这个是用铍铜制作的。

Helium, in turn, fused to form heavier elements like beryllium, carbon, and oxygen in a process known as nucleosynthesis.

氦接着融合，形成了铍、碳和氧等较重的元素，这一过程被称为核合成。

And if you throw the helium into the beryllium, that's also really unstable and decays really quickly.

而如果你把氦投进铍中，那也是极不稳定的， 并且会非常快地衰变。

The researchers found the anomaly when they were watching unstable beryllium nuclei decay into photons, which are particles of light.

研究人员在观察不稳定铍核衰变成光子（即光的粒子）时发现了这一异常现象。

And so you get like beryllium and boron and a little bit of lithium.

于是你就得到了像铍和硼少量的锂这样的元素。

Okay, so beryllium has four protons, then, you know, add two more, you can get, you got to do something complicated.

好的，铍有四个质子，然后，你知道的，再加两个，理论上你可得到碳-12，尽管这需要一些复杂的操作。

So hydrogen turned into a little bit of helium, and there was just a little bit of lithium and beryllium.

所氢变成了一点点氦，还有一点点锂和铍。

You fuse the helium-4 together to make beryllium, beryllium-8, and then somehow you need to get another helium to combine with the beryllium

你将氦-4融合在一形成铍，即铍-8， 然后需要某种方式再获取一个氦与铍结合， 生成碳-12。

Experiments in sociology work much as they do in the natural sciences, just with humans as subjects instead of mice or atoms of beryllium.

社会学实验的工作方式与自然科学中的实验非常相似，只是人类而不是小鼠或铍原子作为实验对象。
