It could kill us because it's using up all the chemical energy on earth and we contain some chemical potential energy.

它把我们杀光是因为它要用完地球上的所有化学能量了，而我们体内蕴含着一些潜在的化学能量。

The amazing thing about your complicated, self-healing, blood-guzzling muscle tissues is that they turn chemical potential energy into mechanical energy, or movement, simply by doing two things — contracting and relaxing.

你复杂的，自愈的，耗血的肌肉组织的神奇之处在于它们将化学势能转化为机械能，或运动，仅仅通过做两件事情——收缩和放松。

And you can get some of the things you need pretty easily. Like, in order to get oxygen for respiration, to unleash the chemical energy in your food, you just have to inhale.

你可以很容易地得到一些你需要的东西。比如，为了获得呼吸所需的氧气，释放食物中的化学能，你只需要吸气。

When a cell needs energy, for example, to pump out molecules or to repair a broken micro machine, it can break down ATP, and use the chemical energy to do work and create change.

例如，当细胞需要能量以抽离分子或修复损坏的微型部件时，它可以分解ATP，并利用化学能量完成工作并产生变化。

With global markets for energy, chemicals and materials all being buffeted by geopolitical and economic forces, it seems almost brazen—especially when other oil-and-gas companies are revising their green plans and doubling down on crude.

由于全球能源、化学品和材料市场都受到地缘政治和经济力量的冲击，这似乎是无耻的——尤其是当其他石油和天然气公司正在修改其绿色计划并加倍投资原油时。

And the other thing-there is research which suggests that it might be a factor in transforming the chemical energy we get from food into what is called heating energy, so in other words, it keeps us warm.

而其他物质，有研究表明可能是一个因素将我们从饮食中获得的化学能转换成所谓的加热能源, 换句话说, 为我们保暖。
