Thank you for that sound, tribology.

谢谢你的声音，摩。

But it has a technical name: tribology.

但它有一个专业名称：摩。

But tribology is also defined as the science of interacting surfaces in relative motion.

但摩也被定义为在相对运动中相互作的表面的科。

(Laughter) This is tribology in action.

（笑声） 这是摩在起作。

But what's the big deal with tribology?

但是摩有什么大不了的呢？

Some routine maintenance is directly connected to tribology.

一些日常维护与摩直接相关。

So when you look at the numbers, tribology can do some amazing things.

所以当你看数字时，摩可以做一些惊人的。

This happened just by putting 31 people in a room who viewed the world through a tribology lens.

这只是通过将 31 个人放在一个房间里，让他们通过摩镜头观察世界而发生的。

Imagine the opportunities that will reveal themselves as more of us start to see tribology all around.

想象一下，随着我们中越来越多的人开始全面了解摩，将会发现很多机会。

Holmberg and Erdemir have actually done some great studies showing the impact tribology research can have on reducing our energy consumption.

Holmberg 和 Erdemir 实际上已经做了一些伟大的研究，表明摩研究可以对减少我们的能源消耗产生影响。

Pretty common in the ankle, so any of my fellow foot-wigglers out there may suddenly find themselves curious about the tribology of tendons.

在脚踝中很常见，所以我的任何一个脚扭动者可能会突然发现自己对肌腱的摩感到好奇。

It's part of the nearly nine percent of our current global energy consumption that the authors identified tribology can help us save.

这是我们目前全球能源消耗的近 9% 的一部分，作者发现摩可以帮助我们节省能源。

I encourage you to start seeing tribology in the world around you and to think about how you would improve those interacting surfaces you experience.

我鼓励您开始了解您周围世界的摩，并思考您将如何改善您体验到的那些相互作的表面。

To put this in perspective: one quad of energy is roughly equivalent to 180 million barrels of oil, and tribology can help us save 20 times that.

换句话说：四分之一的能源大约相当于 1.8 亿桶石油，而摩可以帮助我们节省 20 倍的能源。
