and if you look in there you'll find out what he's talking about.

迅速一瞥就能了解他所说的内容
He says--he has a model of electron configuration--

他说他知道电子的结构模型
he says: "Consider the problem of how to arrange 1, 2, 3,

"思考如何排列1 2 3
up to n corpuscles"

直到粒子数n"
that's what he called electrons, he called them corpuscles;

这就是他所谓的电子他称其为粒子
"Consider the problem as to how they would arrange themselves

"思考下如果把电子放在一个
if placed in a sphere filled with

密度均一的正电球场中
positive electricity of uniform density."

它们自身将如何排列"
So that's the idea of the plum-pudding.

这就是枣糕模型的设想
You have this sphere of uniform positive density--

即密度均一的带正电的球
why it should be like that nobody knows--

没人知道为什么会是这样的模型
but suppose you have a sphere, and you put the electrons in it,

假设电子像枣糕模型中的枣一样
