When Pierre was twenty-one, he and his brother had discovered that quartz crystals could hold an electrical charge.

当 Pierre 21 岁时，他和他的兄弟发现石英晶体可以保持电荷。

Finally, this frequency is fed back into the frequency and phase comparator, and as it is, the feedback loop will drive the ring oscillator to match and be identical to the output from the 16 MHz crystal oscillator loop.

最后， 这个频率被反馈到频率和相位比较器中，这样反馈回路会驱环形振荡器， 使其与16MHz石英晶体振荡器回路的输出匹配并完全相同。
