Spotting more complex substances was almost impossible because their rotational energy is scattered by their numerous bonds across a wide range of frequencies.

而鉴别更复杂的物质几乎不可能，大量化学键占有很宽的频率范围，以至于旋转能被散射掉。

The answer is a neverending series of reactions that are dedicated to doing two vital, and totally contradictory, things: One set of chemical reactions destroys the reactants that you give them, reducing big, complex substances into molecular rubble.

答案是一系列无休止的反应，这些反应致力于做两件至关重要且完全矛盾的事情：一组化学反应会破坏你给它们的反应物，将大型复杂物质变成分子碎片。
