We're carbon-based lifeforms because there's a lot of carbon on Earth, but perhaps on another planet, something like silicon is the most abundant element, and therefore life could evolve from that.

人体的主要构成元素，为地球上有很多，但或许在其他星球上就不这样。其他星球上大量存在的可能硅元素，那么外星生命就以硅元素为基础的。

And when we say organocatalyst or organocatalysis, we mean that the catalyst is a small and well-defined organic molecule that consists mainly of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, maybe, sulfur, phosphorus, silicon, but no metals.

当我们说有机催化剂或有机催化时，我们的意思催化剂一种小而明确的有机分子，主要由，氢，氧，氮，也许还有硫，磷，硅等元素组成，但没有金属。

Usually transistors are made with the element silicon. But the scientists say they use materials that have even better electronic properties.

Some people think the creature is silicon-based, which is much less  readily available in the atmosphere of the ship, so if that were the case, it wouldn't have  enough building blocks to grow so quickly.

有人认为这种生物硅基的，而在飞船的大气中硅元素的含量相对较少，此如果真如此， 它将缺乏足够的构建材料来支持如此迅速的生长。
