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，它们处松散约束能量状态，并且极其容易向稳定低能量状态转变，这就意味着在这个过程中它们会释放大量封存能量。

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；电子可以处个能量状态，在个台阶上，然后在它们跳下来时释放能量。

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

可能还有个我们看不到低能态。

So the electron is in its lowest energy state.

所以电子处其最低能态。

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个低能量状态。

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

它们移动到这些离散能级状态，这有助我们解释光谱。

I literally look different because of my energy state.

因为我能量状态，我确实看起来不样了。

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

伴随着这生理状态、精力、心境等等，等等。

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.

当个光子击中光电二极管中材料接合处，也就是p-n结时， 原子电子会吸收光子能量，从而跃迁到能级并离开原子。

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研究，原子钟名字来源其内部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低能量状态。

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.

就像山顶上球样，分子总是会向低能量状态移动， 如果它们能话， 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.

我们对这个推测性膨胀现实无所知，除了数学预测其无休止膨胀可能由不稳定量子能量状态驱动。

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.

在频无线电和微波频段，当氢原子内质子和电子改变其能量状态时， 会发射出这1420兆赫辐射。

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， 如果个分子要通过形成双键处最低能量状态，它有个很好简单解决方案。

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，原子核周围电子受到特定频率入射辐射而进入能态。

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能量状态来改变单个原子结构和性质。

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能量状态呢？

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

是狄拉克说， 好吧，你知道吗，所有这些负能量态，都是被填满轨道， 已被占据。

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

那个光子穿过个被激发介质，在这个介质中电子被激发到能态。
