he's over that way-- so Robert Boyle wrote

就在那罗伯特·波义耳写了
this first important book in chemistry,

第一本重要的化学著作
New Experiments Physico-Mechanical: Touching the Spring of Air.

关于空气弹力及其物理力学的新实验
So you know Boyle's Law,

你们知道波义耳定律
how pressure and volume change,

压力和体积如何变化
that air in a piston acts like a spring.

空气的活塞运动就像是弹簧
So PV is a constant; that's Boyle's Law.

PV为常数这就是波以耳定律
So he developed this science on the basis of a new instrument,

他使用新仪器发展这门科学
the pneumatical engine, which was built by Robert Hooke,

即气动引擎由罗伯特·虎克建造
the guy we quoted.

我们引用过这家伙的话
And there's a picture of the air pump here with that crank on it,

图中是带有曲柄的气泵
and so on to pump things in or out of that bulb.

可以将物质抽出或吸入那个球型物
