   As good a thinker as you evidently are, you have not thought on this subject, I suspect. 依我看,你这位显而易见的思想敏锐者,并未考虑这一论题。


  It took me a week, in all, I presume, of hard thinking,  我整整花费一周时间进行仔细研究,
  and making experiments at a blacksmith's shop, to discover the reason of this. 甚至在一家铁匠铺实地实验,以待查明事件的原因。
  It is not the polish; for take two blades of equal polish, 问题答案与抛光没有关联,即使将两把刀片进行相同的抛光处理,
  and the breath will disappear from one as much quicker than it does from the other, as the blade is better. 两把刀片上的气息散发快慢存在明显差异;优质刀片当然要快得多,
  It is because the material of the blade is more compact or less porous 1 in one case than in the other. 原因在于,优质刀片材料比劣质刀片材料更为密实,材质间隙更为细小。
  In the first place, I ascertained 2 that the steel was, made more compact by being hammered and tempered, 首先,我可以确定,通过锻打淬火,钢材才能变得密实,
  and that the better it was tempered the more compact it would become; 所以,淬火处理愈好,材料就会愈发紧固;
  the size of the pores being made, of course, less in the same proportion. 当然,相同面积比例的材料间隙亦愈为密实,
  Well, then, I saw the reason I was in search of, at once. 这样,我便立即弄清了研究课题的缘由。
  For we know a wet sponge is longer in drying than a wet piece of green wood, because the pores of the first are bigger. 众所周知,潮湿海绵比同等面积的湿木自然干燥时间要长,因为前者空隙更大;
  A seasoned or shrunk piece of wood dries quicker than a green one, for the same reason. 同理,一块或小块木片要比湿木自然干燥得快。
  Or you might bore a piece of wood with large gimlet holes, and another with small ones, 或许,你也可以拿大小不同缝隙的两块木块进行比较,
  fill them both with water, and let them stand till the water evaporated, 将两块木头浸入水,然后取出使其直立到水蒸发干净;
  and the difference of time it would take to do this would make the case still more plain. 两块木头所需时间不同,这一点将会更清楚地阐述其中道理;
  So with the blades: the vapor 3 lingers longest on the worst wrought 4 and tempered one, 刀片亦然,锻造淬火差的那把刀片,蒸汽盘桓时间更长,
  because the pores, being larger, take in more of the wet particles, and require more time in drying. 由于材料缝隙过大,潮湿微粒吸收更多,所需干燥的时间自然更长。
