Like ethylene glycol, the stuff that's in antifreeze?

比如说防冻剂里面的乙二醇。

Last week, we mentioned how scientists had developed an enzyme that can help break down a common form of plastic called polyethylene terephthalate or PET. Here are the details on how that works.

上周，我们提到了科学家们如何开发出一种酶来帮助分解一种叫做聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯或PET的常见塑料。下面有关如何工作的详细信息。

A few of the common ones being aminoglycosides—a group of antibiotics, heavy metals like lead, myoglobin released from damaged muscles, ethylene glycol—essentially anti-freeze which is naturally sweet tasting and therefore a risk for poisoning children, radiocontrast dye, and uric acid.

其一些常见氨基糖苷类抗生、重金属如铅、肌肉受损释放的肌红蛋白、乙二醇、放射性对比剂以及尿酸等；其乙二醇本质上防冻剂，有甜味，因此害孩子的危险因。

Sprite's current plastic contains green polyethylene terephthalate (PET) , an additive that can't be recycled into new bottles, a key initiative for the company as it looks to reduce plastic waste.

可口可乐公司表示，目前的瓶子含有无法循环利用的绿色聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（PET），而从瓶子颜色可以提高回收材料的质量。

Plastics waste in general, more specifically PET, has infiltrated our environment and biology has found a way to some extent, to deal with this over time.

一般来说，塑料废弃物，特别（聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯）PET，已经渗透到我们的环境，随着时间的推移，生物界已经在某种程度上找到了处理这种废弃物的方法。

Some of the ingredients that they're using to give that thick, creamy feel is glycol distearate, also the guar hydroxypropyl trimonium chloride.

他们使用的一些成分给人一种粘稠的，奶油般的感觉乙二醇二硬脂酸酯，也瓜尔胶羟丙基三氯铵。

The purified DMT and MEG are then turned back into PET, polyethylene terephthalate, which is the base material for many plastic products.

净化后的 DMT 和 MEG 会被转化回 PET，聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯，这也很多塑料产品的基本材料。

They have potassium permanganate when you mix it with glycol, it starts a chemical reaction and a fire.

他们有高锰酸钾，当你把它与乙二醇混合时，它会发生化学反应，并着火。

The most common particles were polypropylene, used in plastic packaging and pipes, and PET, used in bottles.

最常见的微塑料用于塑料包装和管道的聚丙烯以及用于制作塑料瓶的聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯。

The main raw material is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a plastic that is cheap and easy to process.

主要原料聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)，这一种廉价且易于加工的塑料。

Soft drink bottles are usually made of a type of plastic called polyethylene terephthalate, or PET.

软饮料瓶通常由一种叫做聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯或 PET 的塑料制成。

It's made of a polymer called " polyethylene terephthalate" , which has rings of carbons separated by chains of carbons, some of which have single and double bonds, to oxygen atoms.

它由聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯聚合物组成的，它有分离的碳链，相对于氧原子而言，一些含有单键和双键。

Once PET plastic is broken down into its component parts, terephthalic acid, and ethylene glycol, it can then be recycled into new plastic, but it doesn't necessarily have to be plastic.

一旦 PET 塑料被分解成其组成部分（对苯二甲酸和乙二醇），就可以回收利用，制成新的塑料，但不一定非得塑料。

The catalyst breaks down the waste into its two base monomers: DMT, dimethyl terephthalate, and MEG, monoethylene glycol.

DMT，也就对苯二甲酸二甲酯，和 MEG，单乙二醇。

In addition to the glycol distearate, which is used as a pearlizing agent to give it that pearl look.

了二硬脂酸乙二醇，它被用作珠光剂，让它看起来像珍珠。

Adidas uses plastic bottles that contain polyethylene terephthalate, or PET.

阿迪达斯使用含有聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯或 PET 的塑料瓶。

I would feed my bacteria polyethylene terephthalate, or PET plastic.

我会给我的细菌喂食聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯，也就PET塑料。

The enzyme is able to break down polyethylene terephthalate, or PET.

该酶能够分解聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯或 PET。
