原子能这个名词在一年以前,大概只有少数的科学家知道得清楚的;到了今日,已变为普通报纸上时常见到的,茶坊酒肆听到的名词了。这是不能不归功于原子炸弹。但是原子能这个名词虽在一般人固然已是耳熟能详,它的意义恐还不免容易误会,所以用简单的讲法加以说明,或许于吾国将来原子能的发展上略有裨益。 A year ago, probably only a handful of scientists knew the term atomic energy. Nowadays, it has become the term often heard in ordinary newspapers and heard by teahouse restaurants. This can not be attributed to the atomic bomb. However, although the term atom atom is familiar to most people, its meaning can not be easily misunderstood. Therefore, using a simple method to explain it may be slightly beneficial to the future development of atomic energy in our country.
