Ballistite was a smokeless propellant that combined nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine.

弹道石是一种无烟推进剂，结合了硝化纤维素和硝化甘油。

It also explained why nitroglycerine, the well-known explosive, soothes the heart pain known as angina.

这也解释了为什么硝酸甘油，即们所熟知炸药，能够缓解心绞痛。

The rest of the day he worked on his passion to tame nitroglycerine.

剩下时间，他都用自己热情去驯服硝化甘油。

Put hope and desperation together, and what do you get? The political equivalent of nitroglycerine.

把希望与绝望放一起，你会得到什么呢？政治上这等同于一个炸药包。

In between overseeing his manufacturing empire, Immanuel found time to collaborate with Alfred on the nitroglycerine problem.

管理他制造帝国余，以马内利抽出时间与阿尔弗德硝化甘油问题上合作。

For example, the heart medicine nitroglycerine becomes unstable at high heat and is known to lose its potency fast.

例如，心脏病药物硝化甘油高温下不稳定，且它效力会迅速丧失。

What exactly nitroglycerine does to the circulatory system remained a mystery for a long time.

硝酸甘油究竟对循环系统有什么作用，长期以来一直是个谜。

After his return to Sweden in 1863, Alfred Nobel concentrated on developing nitroglycerine as an explosive.

1863 年回到瑞典后，阿尔弗德·诺贝尔专注于开发硝化甘油作为炸药。

Alfred Nobel became very interested in nitroglycerine and how it could be put to practical use in construction work.

阿尔弗德·诺贝尔对硝化甘油及其建筑工程中实际应用产生了浓厚兴趣。

To make the han-dling of nitroglycerine safer Alfred Nobel experimented with different additives.

为了使硝化甘油处理更安全，阿尔弗德·诺贝尔试验了不同添加剂。

But by around 1880, doctors began to realize that nitroglycerine was even more effective and faster acting for heart problems than amyl nitrite.

但是到了 1880 年左右，医生们开始意识到，硝酸甘油比亚硝酸戊酯对心脏病疗效更有效、作用更快。

Alfred was not discouraged and in 1864 he was able to start mass production of nitroglycerine.

阿尔弗德并没有气馁， 1864 年他得以开始大规模生产硝化甘油。

There he met the young Italian chemist Ascanio Sobrero who, three years earlier, had invented nitroglycerine, a highly explosive liquid.

那里，他遇到了年轻意大利化学家阿斯卡尼奥·索布罗 (Ascanio Sobrero)，后者三年前发明了硝化甘油，这是一种极易爆炸液体。

He also realized that the safety problems had to be solved and a method had to be developed for the controlled detonation of nitroglycerine.

他还意识到必须解决安全问题，并且必须开发一种方法来控制硝化甘油引爆。

Several explosions, including one (1864) in which his brother Emil and several other persons were killed, convinced the authorities that nitroglycerine production was exceedingly danger-ous.

几次爆炸，包括一次（1864 年）爆炸，他兄弟埃米尔和其他几个爆炸中丧生，使当局确信硝化甘油生产极其危险。

Even after it became an accepted treatment for angina, the technical term for chest pain, what exactly nitroglycerine does to the circulatory system remained a mystery for a long time.

即使它成为心绞痛（胸痛技术术语）公认治疗方法后。硝酸甘油究竟对循环系统有什么作用，长期以来一直是个谜。

He soon found that mixing nitroglycerine with kieselguhr would turn the liquid into a paste which could be shaped into rods of a size and form suitable for insertion into drilling holes.

他很快发现，将硝化甘油与硅藻土混合会将液体变成糊状，可以将其塑造成适合插入钻孔大小和形状棒。

Nobel named his creation dynamite, and it turned out that the ingredient that made a deadly explosive had another life-saving property, hinted at when workers in dynamite factories noticed that coming into contact with nitroglycerine seemed to ease chest pains.

诺贝尔将他发明命为炸药，事实证明，制造致命炸药成分具有另一种拯救生命特性，炸药工厂工注意到，接触硝化甘油似乎可以缓解胸痛。

When I think of all the victims killed during nitroglycerine explosions, and the terrible havoc that it has wreaked, which in all probability will continue to occur in the future, I am almost ashamed to admit to being its discoverer.

当我想到所有硝化甘油爆炸中丧生受害者，以及它所造成可怕破坏，这种破坏将来很可能还会继续发生时，我几乎羞于承认自己是它发明者。
