So without that curiosity-driven understanding of the structure of atoms, which led to this rather esoteric theory, quantum mechanics, then we wouldn't have transistors, we wouldn't have silicon chips, we wouldn't have pretty much the basis of our modern economy.
所以如果没有 好奇心引导的对原子结构的了解—— 这使得人们有了更加深奥的理论，量子力学， 我们就没有晶体管，没有硅芯片， 没有我们现代经济赖以生存 的根基。
