Let me give you a sense of the timescale at work here.

让我来对所涉及 时间标度做一下说明。

Biologists call this the quarter-power scaling principle, for different sized animals, measures of metabolism scale in multiples of one-fourth.

生物学家称为一幂标度原理，对于不同大小动物，用一倍数来衡量代谢标度。

Weak bases, like sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), consume much less, and generally have pHs in the 8-11 range.

水是中性，所以7就在pH标度中间。

You know, I became really fascinated with temperature scale after I saw the original Celsius thermometer.

知道，我变得迷上了温度标度在我看到原本 摄氏温度计。

And - 4. breakthrough progress eventually arrives by an opposing approach based on scaling computation by search and learning.

还有——4. 最破往往来自于相反基于探索和学习标度计算方法。

And then in blue, it gives us the Pauling scale for electronegativity.

然后在蓝色中，它为我们提供了电负性鲍林标度。

Now, I should point out that we're using the Pauling scale for electronegativity here.

现在，我应该指出，我们在这里使用鲍林标度来衡量电负性。

That might not sound like a lot, but decibels are on a logarithmic scale, like the Richter scale for earthquakes.

这听起来可能不是很多， 但贝是对数标度，就像地震里氏标度一样。

The most common way to measure the strength of a base is the pH scale, which typically runs from 0 to 14.

衡量碱强度最常用方法是 pH 标度，通常在 0 到 14 间。

Strong bases meanwhile, like sodium hydroxide, consume large amounts of hydrogen ions leaving the concentration very low, so they 10d to have very high pHs.

那么pH，简单地表示为负该浓度以10为底对数，也就是7我这个小伙伴，成为了pH标度基础。

And this is usually represented by the nonlinear decibel scale, where a normal conversation is around 60 decibels and a rock concert is around 120 decibels.

这通常由非线性贝标度表示，其中正常对话约为 60 贝，摇滚音乐会约为 120 贝。

Around age 28, I became very interested in networks, and a few years later, we managed to publish a few key papers that reported the discovery of scale-free networks and really gave birth to a new discipline that we call network science today.

大约28岁时候，我对网络很感兴趣，几年后，我们成功地发表了几篇重要论文，发表了无标度网络发现，并真正催生了一门新学科，我们今天称为网络科学。
