It was precisely where there were the longest silences that the deepest conflicts and neuroses lay.

这正是沉默时间最长的地方，也是冲突和神经官能症最严重的地方。

There is in our changeability an almost comedic interplay between what we might crudely refer to as our bodies and our minds; our higher faculties and our basic plumbing.

我们的变化中，几乎可以说是我们身体和我们的思想、我们的高级能力和我们的基础官能之间存着一近乎喜剧性的相互作用。

They do this by giving prefixes to compounds for the number of carbons in a chain, suffixes based on parent functional groups, and ranking functional groups somewhat arbitrarily for precedence.

他们通过为链中数的化合物添加前缀、基母体官能团的后缀以及程度上任意排列官能团的优先级来做到这一点。

It's three o'clock in the morning, and I've got all my faculties as well as ever I had in my life.

现是凌晨三点钟，我把我这辈的所有官能都用得一清二楚。

The first and most familiar oxygen-based functional group is the alcohol, a terminal " -OH" .

第一个也是最熟悉的含氧官能团是醇，它有一个末端的“-OH”。

And those are the seven functional groups that we're going to talk about.

这些都是我们将要讨论的七官能团。

Our self-consciousness, however, is affected by the same faculties that affect our perception of external objects.

然而，我们的自我意识受到影响我们对外部物体感知的相同官能的影响。

All of these things can be accomplished by simple organic compounds with different functional groups sticking off of them!

所有这些都可以通过具有不同官能团的简单有机化合物来实现！

In fact, if you look at all these oxygen based functional groups you'll see that they're all very closely related.

事实上，如果你看看所有这些以氧为基础的官能团， 你会发现它们都密切相关。

Organic compounds that include these functional groups have various wonderful names: wood alcohol, cinnamaldehyde, and cadaverine.

包含这些官能团的有机化合物有着各奇妙的名字：木醇、肉桂醛和尸胺。

Now we only have two more oxygen-based functional groups that we're gonna talk about, These are groups that have internal oxygens bonded directly to carbons.

现我们只剩下两含氧的官能团要讲了，这些官能团内部的氧直接与相连。

Now it is perfectly possible that a molecule will have two different functional groups, so how do we know which one is the parent?

现， 一个分可能具有两不同的官能团，那么我们怎么知道哪个是主链呢？

Using these two extra elements, we're going to talk about seven exciting and different functional groups.

使用这两个额外的元素，我们将讨论七激动人心且各不相同的官能团。

If an OH is part of a larger functional group, we'll refer to it as a Hydroxyl, and if a carbon double bonded to an oxygen it's part of a larger group, we call that a carbonyl.

如果OH是更大官能团的一部分，我们将它称为羟基，如果与氧形成双键且是更大基团的一部分， 我们称其为羰基。

We also sometimes call the area of unconcern the " R group" as opposed to the " functional group" where the business is getting done.

我们有时也将不关心的区域称为“R基团”，相对实际发生反应的“官能团”。
