This ongoing explosion maintains the sun's internal temperature of roughly 15 million degrees Celsius, which is more than enough energy to transform gas into churning pools of plasma.

这一持续发生的爆炸将太阳的内部温度维持在 1500 万摄氏度左右。这一温度蕴含的能力足以将气体转化为不停搅动翻腾的等离子体。

This reaction begins when two atoms of hydrogen, accelerated by the sun's fantastically high temperatures and contained by its high pressures, join to form an atom of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen.

当两个氢原子在太阳惊人的高温下加速并在其高压下结合形成一个氘原子（氢的同位素）时，这个反应就开始了。
