你絕對不敢相信把三秒膠加進硼砂裡會發生什麼事！：英語精讀講義

This video is sponsored by the Casper mattress.

In today's video,

在今天的影片中，

we're taking a look at what happens when you combine super glue with a warm borax solution. 文法

我們來看看把三秒膠和溫熱的硼砂溶液混合會發生什麼。

The result will surprise you,

結果會讓你大吃一驚，

and I'm not saying that in a clickbait way. 用詞

我這麼說絕不是為了騙點擊。

I mean,

我的意思是，

it surprised the heck out of me, 慣用語

連我都驚呆了，

so it'll probably surprise you too.

所以可能也會讓你大吃一驚。

Here's the basic idea. 表達脈絡

基本的想法是這樣的。

We'll dissolve some borax into some hot water

我們將把一些硼砂溶解在熱水中，

and then we'll add super glue to it in increasingly large quantities. 片語搭配

然後往裡面加入越來越多量的三秒膠。

We'll then watch what happens when we introduce a large quantity of our super glue into the borax solution very rapidly.

接著我們來看看如果我們非常快速地將大量三秒膠倒入硼砂溶液中會發生什麼。

First,

首先，

let's get a pot of hot water and add our borax.

我們拿一鍋熱水加入硼砂。

Warm borax solution

溫熱的硼砂溶液，

and an eyedropper full of cyanoacrylate or super glue.

和滿滿一滴管的氰基丙烯酸酯，即三秒膠。

The super glue catalyzes immediately on contact with the boric acid, 片語搭配

三秒膠一接觸到硼酸就會立刻催化，

and it comes out in these really cool patterns

並形成這些非常酷的圖案，

that just kind of look like pieces of plastic floating through water

看起來就像漂在水裡的一塊塊塑膠，

or maybe pieces of coral or something organic.

或者像是珊瑚之類的有機物碎片。

I don't know.

我也不知道。

It's really bizarre.

真的很奇怪。

At this point,

此時，

they're also completely catalyzed.

它們也完全被催化了。

They're not sticky anymore.

它們不再有黏性。

There's no super glue left over. 片語動詞

也沒有任何多餘的三秒膠殘留。

It's just catalyzed plastic.

只是被催化成塑膠了。

Not terribly durable.

不是很堅固。

It feels kind of hard,

摸起來有點硬，

but you can usually just tear them apart if you're determined.

但如果你執意要撕，通常可以把它們撕碎。

We've seen that the super glue turns white when it hits our borax solution, 表達脈絡

我們已經看到三秒膠遇到硼砂溶液會變白，

and I think we can add a little bit of color using some alcohol ink.

我覺得我們可以加一些酒精墨水來增加點顏色。

You can see that it mixes in quite well with the super glue.

你可以看到它和三秒膠混合得相當好。

It doesn't cause it to catalyze or anything like that. 語氣意圖

它不會導致膠水被催化或者發生類似的情況。

So now let's see what happens if we drip some of the orange super glue down into our pot. 文法

現在讓我們來看看，如果我們把一些橘色三秒膠滴入鍋裡會發生什麼。

We definitely have managed to dye the super glue and dye the plastic that forms 文法

我們確實成功地給三秒膠上了色，同時也給塑膠上了色，

when we inject it down into the borax solution.

這是在我們把它注入硼砂溶液時形成的。

You may have also noticed that it was going a tiny bit slower this time, 表達脈絡

你可能還注意到，這次它的反應稍微慢了一點，

and that's actually due to the heat.

這其實是因為溫度的原因。

It reacts a lot quicker in very warm water,

它在非常溫熱的水中反應要快得多，

and now this has been out here for just long enough to start cooling down. 文法

而現在這杯水在這裡放了有一會兒了，已經開始變涼。

To scale this up one step, 片語動詞

為了進一步擴大規模，

let's make a slightly larger batch of our borax solution

讓我們做比剛才多一點的硼砂溶液，

and then fill this tray.

然後倒滿這個托盤。

I want to see if we can draw cool designs using the super glue right into the liquid.

我想看看我們是否能直接在液體中用三秒膠畫出很酷的圖案。

It's not the prettiest crown I've ever seen, 文法

這不是我見過最漂亮的王冠，

but it'll do. 語氣意圖

但也湊合。

The King of Random Crown,

The King of Random 的王冠，

a little bit different from how we're used to seeing it maybe.

也許和我們習慣看到的有點不一樣。

It really just looks like crystal growth or coral or something.

它看起來真的就像晶體生長或者珊瑚什麼的。

We've got this big glass cookie jar,

我們有這個巨大的玻璃餅乾罐，

and we're going to fill this up with hot borax solution.

我們要在裡面裝滿熱硼砂溶液。

We're then going to dye some of our cyanoacrylate glue

然後我們要給一些氰基丙烯酸酯膠水上色，

and fill a small water balloon with it.

並把它裝滿一個小水球。

We'll suspend that water balloon underneath the borax solution

我們會把這個水球懸掛在硼砂溶液下面，

and then pop the balloon,

然後戳破水球，

instantly exposing all of that glue to the borax solution around it. 文法

瞬間讓所有膠水接觸到周圍的硼砂溶液。

This should be fun.

這應該會很有趣。

Even though this is a nice thick very squishy mattress, 文法

儘管這是一款又厚又軟的床墊，

they do manage to smash it down small enough that it fits in an impressively small box when it arrives. 文法

他們還是設法把它壓縮得足夠小，使其在送達時能裝進一個出奇小巧的箱子裡。

It is still a decent-sized box cuz it's holding a mattress,

這個箱子還是有一定尺寸的，因為裡面裝的是床墊，

I'm trying to use about half of the super glue

我打算在這個氣球裡

in the one balloon.

用掉大概一半的三秒膠。

Perfect.

完美。

Okay,

好的，

No!

不！

Didn't have enough pressure.

壓力不夠大。

Yeah.

耶。

Ooh.

喔。

Orange and pink.

橘色和粉色。

All right,

好吧，

well,

那麼，

it's going to have that much air in it.

裡面就會有這麼多空氣。

Okay,

好的，

this time we're going to put it under,

這次我們要把它放進去，

squeeze,

捏住，

and then stab it.

然後戳它。

Ah,

啊，

it's amazing.

太神奇了。

Little pockets of the glue got trapped,

有些小團膠水被困住了，

It was just activating as they pull and leak their way forward.

在它們被拉伸並向前滲漏時才被激活。

Piece of my glove got glued in place onto the balloon.

我手套上的一塊碎片被黏在了氣球上。

That is the result of the super glue

這就是三秒膠

catalyzing catastrophically and immediately with the borax solution.

與硼砂溶液立即發生劇烈催化反應的結果。

It's kind of weird.

有點奇怪。

It feels as if you took like thin plastic bags 文法

感覺就像你把薄塑膠袋

and then melted it down into a blob. 片語動詞

融化成了一團。

So there's like really rigid parts, 用詞

所以有些部分真的很硬，

but then the edges of it are like very flimsy thin plastic still.

但它的邊緣仍然像非常薄而脆弱的塑膠。

I'm trying to just tear it in half.

我正試著把它撕成兩半。

Ah.

啊。

I dip it down into the borax solution

我把它浸到硼砂溶液裡，

cuz I don't know if there's going to be bits of it that haven't catalyzed,

因為我不知道是否有沒被催化的部分，

and I don't want to get those all over my hands 片語搭配

我不想弄得滿手都是，

and glue my gloves together.

然後把手套黏在一起。

Expands a lot.

膨脹了很多。

That is way bigger than the balloon I put down in there.

那比我放進去的氣球大多了。

And this thicker portion is actually the line

這個較厚的部分其實是

along which the balloon ruptured. 文法

氣球破裂的縫隙線。

So we have it it tore open right here and right here,

所以我們可以看到它在這裡和這裡撕開了，

and then these pieces were a little slower to move out of the way 片語搭配

然後在整個東西膨脹時，

as the whole thing expanded.

這些碎片移動出來的速度要慢一點。

So yeah,

所以，沒錯，

you can sort of see the egg shape of the balloon

你有點能看出氣球的蛋形，

and then all the pieces that erupted out of it.

以及從中噴發出來的所有碎片。

That is a really cool reaction with a really cool result.

這真是一個非常酷的反應，結果也非常酷。

You know,

你知道，

looking at it,

看著它，

I'm not sure if I like the exploding balloon 文法

我不確定我更喜歡爆炸的氣球

better or the leaking balloon better,

還是更喜歡漏水的氣球，

They gave us these like cool snake things.

它們給我們弄出了這些像蛇一樣的酷玩意。

Both of them I thought turned out really well. 片語動詞

我覺得它們兩個的效果都很好。

This first one with the orange plastic didn't have the same result as the second one.

這第一個帶有橘色塑膠的實驗，和第二個實驗結果不一樣。

That's because something about the cyanoacrylate glue

那是因為氰基丙烯酸酯膠水的一些特性，

makes the latex rubber of the balloon not be very stretchy. 文法

使得氣球的乳膠橡膠變得不怎麼有彈性。

So even though it was full of liquid and underwater,

所以，儘管它裝滿液體並且在水下，

it didn't really have any pressure to pop apart.

卻沒有什麼壓力使它爆裂。

So when I stabbed it,

因此，當我戳它的時候，

it didn't rip open.

它並沒有被撕開。

It just sort of started leaking out of that one hole.

只是開始從那個洞裡漏出來。

That's why for the second one,

這就是為什麼在做第二個的時候，

I was actually squeezing the balloon

我在用針紮氣球的同時

as I hit it with the needle,

實際上也在擠壓氣球，

and that made it tear open all at once. 講解

這使得它一下子撕裂開來。

夥計們，
