There's just not very much rhodium anywhere because the universe is a really big place.

任何地方都没有太多的铑，因为宇宙是一个非常大的地方。

Rhodium belongs to a family of metals that are extremely resistant to oxidation and corrosion and heat.

Is this same process true for rhodium too?

同样的过程也适用于铑吗？

This little microscopic piece of rhodium I have in here, hold on, we're gonna need to enhance.

我这里的这块微小的铑金，等一下，我们需要增强。

Rhodium and some of its rare neighbors, they likely form in other ways too, perhaps somewhere in between these rapid and slow processes.

铑和它的一些稀有邻居，它们也可能以其他方式形成，也许介于这些快速和缓慢的过程之间。

If we represent the total of all the elements in Earth's crust by a roll of toilet paper stretching from here to London, rhodium would make up just this much.

如果我们用一卷从这里延伸到伦敦的卫生纸来表示地壳中所有元素的总和，那么铑就可以构成这么多元素。

When we look at rhodium and it's neighbors on the periodic table we find a lot of stuff that's ridiculously rare, at least in Earth's crust where we can get to it easily.

当我们观察铑和它在元素周期表上的邻居时， 我们会发现很多稀有得离谱的东西，至少在我们可以轻松获得的地壳中。

That little thing on your exhaust that you've probably never looked at, is a literal treasure chest full of valuable metals, platinum, palladium and this one, rhodium, the most expensive metal on planet earth.

排气管上的那个你可能从未看过的小东西，是一个名副其实的宝箱，里面装满了贵重金属，铂金、钯金，还有地球上最昂贵的金属铑。
