Physics is the harmonies, the harmonies of vibrating strings.

物理是和振动弦的和。

Each note from the vibrating string produces a different particle.

振动的弦产生的不同调创造出不同的颗粒。

A quickly vibrating string will cause a lot of compressions close together, making a high-pitched sound, and a slow vibration produces a low-pitched sound.

快速振动的弦会让压缩聚得更拢，造成高调的，速的振动产生低调。

A pickup is a device that captures the vibration of the metal guitar strings and changes them into electronic sound signals.

拾器是一种能够捕捉金属吉他弦的振动并将其转换成电子信号的设备。

Now, how many ways can one string vibrate?

一根弦有多少种振动方式？

He developed a new kind of electric guitar that had a solid body. On an acoustic guitar, the strings vibrate and the hollow part of the instrument, or the sound box, also vibrates.

他发明了一种有坚固琴体的电吉他。在原吉他上，弦会振动，乐器的中空部分，也就是箱也会振动。

So there's this very appealing, almost poetic way in which string theory describes all the particles in terms of different notes on a string.

这非常有吸引力，弦理论描粒子时，说它们是同一根弦在不同振动时产生的不同调，充满了诗意。

Close up, you see that it's a vibrating string.

靠近一点，你会看到它是一根振动的弦。

Imagine a guitar string vibrating at its lowest frequency.

想象一下吉他弦以最低频率振动。

In this video, you can actually see the strings vibrating.

在这段视频中，你可以实际看到弦在振动。

It was as if Dinah had put her hands unawares on a vibrating chord.

就好像黛娜 (Dinah) 的手不自觉地放在了振动的弦上。

I honestly don't know how for us, for human interaction, for ideas of intelligence, how it helps us to understand that we're made up of vibrating strings that are like 10 to the whatever times smaller than us.

老实说， 我不清楚对于我们人类互动、对于智能概念而言，知道我们是由比我们小无数倍的振动弦构成的， 这如何帮助我们理解这些。

Which is also the reason an organ can play much, much longer notes than a piano. Its sound doesn't come from a vibrating string. It comes from airflow.

这也是管风琴能比钢琴演奏长得多的符的原因。它的不是来自振动的弦，而是来自气流。

Equivalent, in the  same way that a string vibrating up and down is the same as a string vibrating left and right.

相当于，上下振动的弦与左右振动的弦相同。

And if we were to pluck different guitar strings, vibrations would travel along those strings to the spider.

如果我们拨动不同的吉他弦，振动会沿着这些弦传播到蜘蛛那里。

He wielded his pen almost as if it were a toy. He could be whimsical or dignified, playful or serious, very serious, and from his pen we hear a chord reflecting all the human emotions of joy, delight, disillusionment and resignation.

他挥动如椽之笔，如同儿戏一般。他能狂妄怪癖，也能庄重严肃，能轻松玩笑，也能郑重庄严，从他的笔端，我们能听到人类情感之弦的振动，有喜悦、有愉快、有梦幻的觉醒，有顺从的忍受。

It was realised that  these modes of vibration created by the strings could potentially account for this information, depending on the direction of the oscillation of these strings.

人们意识到， 弦产生的这些振动模式可能会解释这些信息，具体取决于这些弦的振动方向。

If you pluck a string, it's possible to get a  standing wave that vibrates in one sweeping arch, the whole string going up and down.

如果你拨动一根弦， 就有可能产生一个驻波， 该驻波在一个扫过的拱形中振动，整根弦上下振动。
