Soane was a working class boy who miraculously rose through the British class system.

索恩生来是工人阶级却奇迹般完成了阶级跃迁。

For example, if a cloud of gas is blasted by light from a nearby massive star, the gas in it becomes excited; the electrons in its atoms jump to a higher energy level.

例如，如果一团气体云被附近的大质量恒星发出的光强烈照射，其中的气体就会被激发；原子中的电子就会跃迁到更高的能级。

Bombard an ordinary hydrogen atom with microwaves of the right frequency and you will lift it out of its ground state by flipping the spin of its electron.

以特定频率的微波轰击普通氢原子可以反转其中电子的自旋，使其跃迁离开基态。

How can the same sum total of solar orbits, lunar phases, terrestrial rotations, or transitions of a cesium-133 atom remain constant, but feel so different in our minds?

太阳轨道、月相、地球自转或铯 133 原子跃迁的总和怎么会保持不变，但在我们的脑海中却感觉如此不？

In this monarchical system everyone knew his or her place, with little expectation of being able to move very far outside of it.

在当时的君主制体制下，所有人都很识时务，很少指望自己能实现多大的阶级跃迁。

This is the idea of a quantum leap.

这是量子跃迁的概念。

And so I think we really have to think about, is it a level shift?

因此，我认为我们确实需要思考，这是否是一个层次的跃迁？

It was really intense about electrons and about how they jump up and down.

关于电子及其如何上下跃迁的内容确实非常深入。

When a photon hits this junction of materials in the photodiode, called a p-n junction, an atom's electron absorbs the photon's energy, and as a result, it jumps up to a higher energy state and leaves the atom.

当一个光子击中光电二极管中的材料接合处，就是p-n结时， 原子的电子会吸收光子的能量，从而跃迁到更高的能级并离开原子。

And maybe if, after it gets excited-- these are words that you hear physicists and chemists say a lot-- but excited just means that energy was put into the electron and it went to a higher energy state.

而当它被激发后——这些是你经常听到物理学家和化学家说的词——但“激发”只是意味着能量被输入到电子中，使其跃迁到了更高的能级。

I would take all of these tools and meditations and quantum leap exercises And I would journal and work on myself and genuinely do the inner work to heal so I could get to where I am today.

我会运用所有这些工具、冥想和量子跃迁练习，我会坚持写日记，努力提升自己，真正投入内在的工作以治愈自我，从而达到今天这样的境界。

If you look at hydrogen, well you can see here as we move from this energy level 2 up to energy level 3, it requires a certain amount of energy.

如果你看氢原子， 当电子从第2能级跃迁到第3能级时，需要一定的能量。

And on my way to a business meeting in Charlotte for my current employer at the time, Steve, your book " Jump" had just came out.

在我前往夏洛特参加现任雇主的商务会议的路上，史蒂夫， 你的书《跃迁》刚刚出版。

And you actually, rather than writing them as your own two sides, it takes a little leap, but to almost give them their own full lives.

而你实际上不必把它们写成自己两面的样子，虽然需要一点跃迁，但最好让它们拥有自己完整的生命。

This form of radiation is often released when electrons transition from an unstable excited state, to a more stable state that has a lower energy.

这种辐射通常在电子从不稳定激发态跃迁到能量更低的更稳定状态时释放。

So most of the time when we talk about transitions of energy levels in hydrogen, we're talking about ultraviolet or visible light.

所以大多数时候， 当我们谈论氢原子能级跃迁时，我们指的是紫外线或可见光。

On the other hand, insulators, like plastics, rubber, and glass, have tightly bound electrons that won't readily jump to other atoms.

另一方面， 绝缘体如塑料、橡胶和玻璃，其电子被紧密束缚， 不易跃迁至其他原子。

As the muon drops down to this different ground state, an x-ray is emitted—alerting Krauth's team that the transition has occurred.

当μ子降到这个不的基态时，会发出X射线——这提示克劳斯团队跃迁已经发生。

The most promising candidate nucleus is thorium-229, which, uniquely, has a nuclear transition that lasers should be able to trigger.

最有希望的候选原子核是钍-229，它具有独特的核跃迁， 激光应该能够触发它。

Simplifying a lot: when particles get close  enough, sometimes they can jump at each other and fuse together.

简化来说：当粒子足够接近时，有时它们可以相互跃迁并融合在一起。
