We're carbon-based lifeforms because there's a lot of carbon on Earth, but perhaps on another planet, something like silicon is the most abundant element, and therefore life could evolve from that.

人体的主要构成碳，因为地球上有很多碳，但或许在其他星球上就不这样。其他星球上大量存在的可能，那么外星生命就以为基础的。

And when we say organocatalyst or organocatalysis, we mean that the catalyst is a small and well-defined organic molecule that consists mainly of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, maybe, sulfur, phosphorus, silicon, but no metals.

当我们说有机催化或有机催化时，我们的意思催化种小而明确的有机分子，主要由碳，氢，氧，氮，也许还有硫，磷，等组成，但没有金属。

Usually transistors are made with the element silicon. But the scientists say they use materials that have even better electronic properties.

Silicon is a semiconductor in an elemental sense.

在意义上种半导体。

Some people think the creature is silicon-based, which is much less  readily available in the atmosphere of the ship, so if that were the case, it wouldn't have  enough building blocks to grow so quickly.

有人认为这种生物基的，而在飞船的大气中的含量相对较少，因此如果真如此， 它将缺乏足够的构建材料来支持如此迅速的生长。

The Earth is made up of iron, nickel, magnesium, silicon, and smaller concentrations of other elements.
