Alfred's next challenge was to find a safe way to detonate nitroglycerin.

阿尔弗雷德下一个挑战是找到引爆硝化安全方法。

Say, if they have a Nitroglycerine tabs or a spray and they can't get up to get it.

比如说，如果他们有硝化标签或喷雾，他们不能起床去拿。

A vat of nitroglycerin had been overheated.

For example, the heart medicine nitroglycerine becomes unstable at high heat and is known to lose its potency fast.

例如，心脏病药物硝化在温下不稳定，且它效力会迅速丧失。

In Paris, Alfred spent time with Ascanio Sobrero, who had recently invented nitroglycerin.

在巴黎，阿尔弗雷德与刚刚发明了硝化阿斯卡尼奥·索布雷罗共处了一段时间。

He was the inventor of dynamite and its even more deadly incarnation — gelignite.

他发明了炸药及其更致命版本——葛里炸药（一种含硝化炸药）。

What exactly nitroglycerine does to the circulatory system remained a mystery for a long time.

硝化对循环系统具体起到什么作用，长期以来一直是个谜。

Gunpowder, the printing press, nitroglycerin, the atom bomb—they were all supposed to destroy the race.

In an attempt to self-medicate, he began administering doses of nitroglycerin.

为了自我治疗，他开始服用一定剂量硝化。

When nitroglycerin was poured onto the soil, it turned it into a doughy consistency.

当硝化倒在土壤上时，它变成了面团状。

This process, in effect, put the nitroglycerin to sleep.

实际上，这个程使硝化进入睡眠状态。

Alfred Nobel became very interested in nitroglycerine and how it could be put to practical use in construction work.

阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔对硝化及其在建筑工程中实际应用产生了浓厚兴趣。

After his return to Sweden in 1863, Alfred Nobel concentrated on developing nitroglycerine as an explosive.

1863 年回到瑞典后，阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔专注于开发硝化作为炸药。

A fuse could be used to detonate the gunpowder which would then ignite the nitroglycerin.

引信可以用来引爆火药，然后点燃硝化。

There he met the young Italian chemist Ascanio Sobrero who, three years earlier, had invented nitroglycerine, a highly explosive liquid.

在那里，他遇到了年轻意大利化学家阿斯卡尼奥·索布雷罗 (Ascanio Sobrero)，后者在三年前发明了硝化，这是一种极易爆炸液体。

Alfred knew that a fuse could not be used directly to detonate nitroglycerin, but that gunpowder could detonate it.

阿尔弗雷德知道引信不能直接用来引爆硝化，但火药可以引爆它。

Alfred was not discouraged and in 1864 he was able to start mass production of nitroglycerine.

阿尔弗雷德并没有气馁，在 1864 年他得以开始大规模生产硝化。

To make the han-dling of nitroglycerine safer Alfred Nobel experimented with different additives.

为了使硝化处理更安全，阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔试验了不同添加剂。

This blasting cap would wake up the nitroglycerin which was packed in a doughy soil base.

这种爆破帽会唤醒包裹在面团状土壤底部硝化。
