They didn't think to try nitroglycerin for a couple more decades.

们没想到在接下来的几十年里尝试硝酸油。

It's usually a sign of nitroglycerin overdose.

这一般是服用硝酸油过量的表现。

Because nitroglycerin is so unstable, it's not actually very useful as an explosive in its pure form.

因为硝酸油非常不稳定，所以它作为一种单纯的炸药实际上并不是很有用。

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，然后点燃硝化油。

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油，但火药可以引爆它。

Now, suddenly, nitroglycerin was a viable explosive.

突然间，硝化油成了一种可行的炸药。

The first attempt at a medicinal use for nitroglycerin was a headache treatment by people who believed in homeopathy.

硝酸油的首次药用尝试是由相信顺势疗法的人进行的头痛治疗。

Since nitroglycerin cause violent headaches, early homeopaths thought that small doses of it could relieve them.

由于硝酸油会引起剧烈的头痛，早期的顺势疗法医生认为小剂量的硝酸油可以缓解头痛。

Your body converts nitroglycerin to nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, and lowers blood pressure.

你的身体会将硝酸油转化为一氧化氮，从而放松血管并降低血压。

Alfred's first step was to learn to create nitroglycerin himself.

阿尔弗雷德的第一步是学会自己制造硝化油。

The pills only contain a very small amount of nitroglycerin diluted with inert material to make it safe.

这些药丸仅含有极少量用惰性材料稀释的硝酸油，以确保安全。

First came the discovery of nitroglycerin.

首先是硝酸油的发现。

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的硝化油。

Nobel called the combination of nitroglycerin, blasting cap, and soil 'dynamite'.

诺贝尔将硝化油、爆破帽和土壤的组合称为“炸药”。

If you or someone you know has been prescribed nitroglycerin tablets though, you don't see any warning labels about possible explosion.

如果你或你认识的人开了硝酸油片，你不会看到任何关于可能爆炸的警告标签。

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

为了自我治疗，开始服用一定剂量的硝化油。

And it stabilizes the nitroglycerin so that, if you move it or shake it a little bit, it doesn't explode.

它可以稳定硝酸油，这样，如果你移动它或稍微摇晃它，它就不会爆炸。

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

阿尔弗雷德的下一个挑战是找到引爆硝化油的安全方法。
