1·The solution of Cu2+ and citrate could generate ·OH under mercury light.
铜离子与柠檬酸钠溶液混合在光照下能产生氢氧自由基；
2·Fluorescent lights use electricity to excite mercury vapor. This produces ultraviolet light that causes a phosphor coating inside the bulb to glow.
荧光灯用电激发水银蒸气。这会生成紫外线光而使得镀在灯管内壁上的磷涂层发光.
3·Scientists know that its actually Mercury reflecting too much light, causing the camera's CCD (" charge-coupled device ") to become oversaturated.
但科学家知道，那只是因为水星反射了过多的阳光，而超过了照相机CCD的负荷所造成的假象。
4·Originally, the theory was able to account for peculiarities in the orbit of Mercury and the bending of light by the Sun, both unexplained in Isaac Newton's theory of gravity.
最初，该理论能够用来说明水星独特运行轨道[译者注]和太阳光的弯曲，这两种情况是牛顿引力理论所无法解释的。
5·Besides, what people should pay attention to is that used battery, the light tube of daylight lamp, mercury thermometer, paint pot and medicine are all toxic wastes, which need special disposal.
另外，需要注意的是，废电池、日光灯管、水银温度计、油漆筒、药品等都是有毒垃圾，需要特别的处理。
6·Inside a fluorescent bulb, a tiny amount of mercury is heated until it turns into a gas that reacts with other gases to produce light.
萤光灯泡内有少量汞，其被加热后变成气态，与其他气体起反应形成光。
7·Making the bulbs requires workers to handle mercury in either solid or liquid form because a small amount of the metal is put into each bulb to start the chemical reaction that creates light.
制造这些灯泡需要工人们直接处理固态或液态的水银，因为每个灯泡中要封入小量的该种金属用来发生化学反应以发光。
8·Excited by the current, the mercury atoms emit ultraviolet light, which bombards the phosphor coating on the inside of the tube.
被电流激活后，汞原子发出紫外光，轰击被覆在电子管内部的磷。
9·The planet Mercury is the smallest of the inner planets (4, 880 km/3, 032 mi in diameter), and the closest to the Sun (58 million km/36 million mi - or 3.2 light minutes).
水星在地内行星中是最小的行星（直径4 880 公里），同时也是靠太阳最近的行星（5800万公里）。
