26 The Magic of Energy 能的魔力 1. We talk about energy all the time-Zilchn微不足道的事物（或人），小人物，无，零, the energy food, energy crisis, and so on. If asked to define it, however, wed probably respond with something like Well, its-uh-well, you know-electricity. 1、我们时时刻刻讨论着能：“能量食物”，“能源危机”，等等。如果让我们给能下个定义，答案很可能是一些模棱两可的话：“哦，能是，嗯，你知道，像电。” 2. True;electricity is one kind of energy. However, energy comes in many forms. You cannot see or smell or taste energy, but its always there, and one of the most fascinating迷人的，有极大吸引力的 things about it is its ability to change from one form to another-like magic. This principle of change is what keeps everything-and everyone-going in this world of ours. 2、确实，电是能量中的一种。但是，能可以来自多种形式。你看不见、闻不到、也品尝不了能，但是，它始终存在着，关于能，最吸引人的就是，它具有从一种形式转换成另外一种形式的能力，简直如同魔术。这些转化的原理是维持着我们这个世界每一样事物、每一个人的运动。 Heat Energy 热能 3. When a fuel燃料 unites with结合，联合 oxygen, we say the fuel burns; what is really happening is that chemical energy (fuel and oxygen) is changing to heat energy. When the fuel (food) we eat unites with the oxygen we breathe, we then have heat energy to run our bodies. 3、当燃料与氧气结合时，我们就说燃料开始燃烧了，实际发生的是化学能（燃料与氧气）转化成热能。当燃料（我们吃的食物）与我们呼吸的氧气结合，我们获得我们身体运动所需的热能。 4. When you pop取出 a frozen waffle饼 into the toaster烤面包机, electrical energy turns into变成 heat energy. 4、当你取出一块冷冻饼放进烤面包机时，电能转化成了热能。 5. In the internal内部的-combustionn燃烧 engine引擎，发动机 of a car, an electric spark电火花 explodesvt引爆 gasses in the cylinder气缸; then heat energy moves the pistons活塞, becoming mechanical energy to move the car. 5、在汽车的内燃机引擎里，电火花引爆气缸里的燃料气体，然后热能推动活塞，成为机械能推动汽车行驶。 6. In a steamn蒸汽 engine, the chemical energy of fuel is changed to heat energy; the heated water, now steam, forcesvt推动，促使 the pistons to move. In a steam turbine涡轮, the steam pushes against blades叶片. In both cases, mechanical energy results. 6、在蒸汽机里，，，，7. This changing from one form of energy to another can continue almost indefinitely无限制地. If, for instance比如，例如, the steam engine or turbine is connected to a generator发电机, the mechanical energy
