Their experiments show that meteorites delivered primitive carbon compounds to early Earth.

他们的实验显示这些流星给早期地球带来了这些基本的碳化合物。

They're made of relatively light carbon compounds that can be condensed out of natural gas by cooling it.

它们是由相对来说更轻的碳化合物构成的，可以通过冷却天然气浓缩而成。

But there are also complex carbon compounds in here. So there's methanol, there's hydrogen cyanide, there's formaldehyde, there's dimethyl ether.

还有一些复杂的碳基化合物，比如甲醇 、氰化氢、 甲醛、 二甲醚。

They washed carbon compounds away from the coastal zone which later became the foundation for many of the first living organisms.

他们将碳化合物从海岸带冲走，而碳化合物后来成为许多最早的生物的基础。

In fact, there was a time when we thought carbon compounds could only be produced by living things.

事实上，曾经有一段时间我们认为碳化合物只能由生物产生。

That’s basically how scientists create aerogels: First, they make a gel out of something like silicon or carbon compounds.

这基本上就是科学家们制造气凝胶的方式：首先，他们用硅或碳化合物之类的东西制造凝胶。

Organisms can draw power by feeding on organic carbon compounds and then oxidizing the reduced carbon back to carbon dioxide.

生物体可以通过以有机碳化合物为食，然后将还原的碳氧化回二氧化碳来获取能量。

It carries carbon compounds that have been zapped by radiation in outer space, maybe creating some of the same chemicals that made you.

它携带着在外层空间被辐射破坏的碳化合物，可能会产生一些与制造你相同的化学物质。

" If we can get three per cent of the green plant element on Arrakis involved in forming carbon compounds as foodstuffs, we've started the cyclic system, " Kynes said.

“如果我们能够在 Arrakis 上获得 3% 的绿色植物元素参与形成碳化合物作为食物，我们就已经启动了循环系统，”Kynes 说。
