But that's just two dimensions. Right?

但这只是二维世界里的情况
Three dimensions is a bigger problem.

三维世界的麻烦就要大多了
But he could say,

但他仍从数学上
he was able to say something mathematically about eight.

对八电子结构发表了一点意见
"The equilibrium of eight corpuscles

分布在立方体的八角上的微粒子结构
at the corners of a cube is unstable."

其平衡是不稳定的
Even if you have the spherical charge--

即便正电荷呈现球状的分布
so it's not exactly Earnshaw--

这和恩绍的想法又不完全一样了
still you can't get eight at the corners of a cube.

呈立方体的八电子结构还是难以实现的
Now Lewis comes along and in 1923,

1923年我们的路易斯来了
as I've told you before, he writes:

就像我之前讲的一样路易斯这样写道
"I have ever since regarded the cubic octet

我一直认为立方体的八偶结构
