In April Ichitan, Thailand's biggest teamaker, launched two drinks infused with terpene, a compound responsible for cannabis's pong.

今年4月，泰国最大饮品制造商Ichitan推出了两种含有萜烯饮料，萜烯是一种与大麻相互作化合。

One reason these smells are strong is that terpenes tend to be volatile, meaning that they evaporate easily.

这些气浓重一个原因是萜烯会挥发——意思就是说，它们很容易就蒸发掉了。

But because terpenes are so diverse, some can be used to send information between entirely different kingdoms. Kingdoms of life, I mean.

但是因为萜烯非常多样，其中一些也在整个动界传递信息，这里说是生上界。

Plants can even use terpenes as a chemical cry for help.

植甚至能通过萜烯传递求救化学信息。

Lots of sweet-smelling flowers, for instance, use terpenes to attract pollinators.

比如许多有花朵，使萜烯来吸引传粉者。

Because it's so broad a label, terpenes can have lots of different biological functions—like as vitamins, hormones, or part of the immune system.

因为萜烯包罗广泛，因此它们有多种不同生学功能——比如说维生素、激素或者是作为免疫系统一部分。

Most organisms produce complex mixtures of terpenes, not just one or two, which allows for a wider vocabulary and a more complex conversation.

大多数有机体都会产生萜烯化合，不是一两种，这就能够支持更广词汇和更复杂沟通。

So, if scientists can work out how the different molecules signal different species, we can use terpenes to issue our own orders.

如果科学家能够搞清楚不同分子指示何种信号，我们以使萜烯来发出自己指令。

Full spectrum hemp oil extract, high in CBD but also has other cannabinoids and terpenes.

全谱大麻油提取，富含CBD，同时也含有其他大麻素和萜烯。

Because it’s so broad a label, terpenes can have lots of different biological functions — like as vitamins, hormones, or part of the immune system.

因为萜烯这个标签涵盖范围很广，它们以具有许多不同生功能， 比如作为维生素、激素或免疫系统一部分。

With more research, terpenes could eventually be used to protect crops from hungry pests or fungal and bacterial infections, or to improve crop growth and health.

经过更多研究，萜烯还以最终来保护作免受饥饿害虫、真菌和细菌侵袭，或改善作生长和健康状况。

So when you're looking for hemp or even cannabis, you probably, when you're looking for something that's relaxing, uplifting, whatever, it's the terpenes that are probably making the biggest difference.

因此， 在寻找大麻或甚至是大麻制品时，若你期望获得放松、振奋或其他效果，很能正是那些萜烯类质在发挥着最关键作。

I'm talking about terpenes—a multipurpose class of chemical compounds that can be used to communicate both within and across species.

我说是萜烯——一种多途以种内和种间沟通交流化合。

Based on the specific chemicals detected, the protist can identify the terpene sender’s species.

根据检测到具体化学质，原生生以识别出萜烯发送者种类。

So I was reading about terpenes because they have real health benefits, especially in combination with other compounds found in plants.

是我开始研究萜烯， 因为它们确实对健康有益，尤其是与其他植化合结合使时。

But researchers have seen what appears to be more of an actual conversation using terpenes.

但是研究者已经发现了似乎更像是萜烯进行真实交流。

So terpenes are what give certain plants and compounds.

因此，萜烯是赋予某些植和化合。

I’m talking about terpenes — a multipurpose class of chemical compounds that can be used to communicate both within and across species.

我说是萜烯——一种多功能化学化合类，以来在种内部及不同种之间进行交流。

Terpenes aren't the only kinds of molecules species use to communicate with each other, but they are some of the most common.

萜烯不是生间彼此交流唯一分子，但却是使最为普遍一种。

And in particular, the hemp plant, when you have cannabinoids, you combine them with terpenes, then you get this like really awesome effect.

特别是大麻植， 当你拥有大麻素时，将它们与萜烯结合， 便能产生这种极为出色效果。
