Instead, they're stuck in a loosely bound high-energy state and are dying to move to a more stable lower energy state, which means releasing a lot of pent-up energy in the process.

相反，它们处于一种松散约束的高能状态，并且极其容易向更稳定的低能状态转变，这就意味着在这个过程中它们会释放大封存的能。

The opposite is true as well; electrons can be in a higher energy state, up on a higher step, and then give off energy when they jump down.

反之亦然；电子可以处于一个更高的能状态，在一个更高的台阶上，然后在它们跳下来时释放能。

There might yet be a lower energy state we don't see.

可能还有一个我们看不到的更低的能态。

So the electron is in its lowest energy state.

所以电子处于其最低能态。

And let's say I could put the second cube at a low energy state here.

假我可以把第二个立方体放在这里的一个低能状态。

They move into these discrete energy states and that helps us to explain the spectra.

它们移动到这些离散的能级状态，这有助于我们解释光谱。

I literally look different because of my energy state.

因为我的能状态，我确实看起来不一样了。

And with that physiology, energy, state of mind, and et cetera, et cetera.

伴随着这种生理状态、精力、，。

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，也就是p-n结时， 原子的电子会吸收光子的能，从而跃迁到更高的能级并离开原子。

At least, according to research announced this week from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST, in the U.S. Atomic clocks are named for the atoms inside that oscillate rapidly and reliably between two energy states.

至少，根据美国国家标准与技术研究院本周公布的研究，原子钟的名字来源于其内部的原子在两个能级之间快速且可靠地振荡。

And the longer someone withholds food after exercise and the greater they stay in that catabolic or breakdown state, the more the brain perceives it as being in a low energy state.

而且， 如果一个人在运动后长时间不进食， 并且长时间保持在分解代谢状态，大脑就会认为身体处于低能状态。

Just like a ball at the top of a hill, the molecules always move towards a lower energy state if they can, and that's just what they'll do.

就像山顶上的球一样，分子总是会向更低的能状态移动， 如果它们能的话， 它们就会这么做。

We know nothing of this speculative inflating reality, save for the mathematical prediction that its endless expansion may be driven by an unstable quantum energy state.

我们对这个推测性的膨胀现实一无所知，除了数学预测其无休止的膨胀可能由一种不稳定的子能状态驱动。

In the high frequency radio, microwave band, this 1420 MHz radiation is emitted when protons and electrons within a hydrogen atom change their energy state.

在高频无线电和微波频段，当氢原子内的质子和电子改变其能状态时， 会发射出这种1420兆赫的辐射。

Well, if a molecule is going to be at its lowest energy state by forming a double bond, it has a nice simple solution.

好吧， 如果一个分子要通过形成双键处于最低能状态，它有一个很好的简单解决方案。

In atomic clocks, the electrons around an atom's nucleus are jolted into a higher energy state by incoming radiation of a specific frequency.

在原子钟中，原子核周围的电子受到特定频率的入射辐射而进入更高的能态。

Among other applications, it allows the structure and properties of individual atoms to be altered via the manipulation of energy states within electrons.

在其他应用中，它允许通过操纵电子内的能状态来改变单个原子的结构和性质。

And why do you think animals and babies or people can intuitively sense when someone is in a high energy state?

为什么你认为动物、婴儿或人们能够直觉地感知到某人处于高能状态呢？

And so Dirac said, okay, you know what, all these negative energy states, are filled orbits, occupied.

于是狄拉克说， 好吧，你知道吗，所有这些负能态，都是被填满的轨道， 已被占据。

That photon passes through an energized medium where the electrons are pumped to a higher energy state.

那个光子穿过一个被激发的介质，在这个介质中电子被激发到更高的能态。
