But another thing that's cool about it is that, most strontium doesn't start out as strontium.

但另一件很酷的事情是，大多数始并是这种元素。

Strontium, man: It knows where you've been.

，伙计：它可知道你去过哪里哦。

And then, the strontium you eat and drink gets incorporated into your teeth!

然后，你吃的和喝的会进入你的牙齿！

But it left behind a slurry of other elements, including types of radioactive strontium, caesium, and technetium.

但它留下了其他元素，包括放射性、铯和锝。

It's not getting any more new calcium, so the strontium ratio is set forever.

它再获得新的钙，因此的比例永固了。

The enamel coating your teeth contains lots of calcium, and strontium is like calcium in a lot of ways.

牙齿上的牙釉质含有大量钙，在很多方面都和钙非常类似。

But another thing that’s cool about it is that, most strontium doesn’t start out as strontium.

但另一件很酷的事情是，大多数并是以始的。

For one thing, there's more than one isotope — or form — of strontium.

一方面，的同位素或形式止一种。

It’s not getting any more new calcium, so the strontium ratio is set forever.

它再获得任何新的钙，所以的比例永。

And the common ones in glow in the dark toys are zinc sulfide and strontium aluminate.

而夜光玩具中常见的有硫化锌和铝酸。

Strontium, man: It knows where you’ve been.

，伙计：它知道你去过哪里。

Both the strontium and caesium emit high levels of beta rays, a kind of ionizing radiation, as well as a lot of heat.

和铯都会发出大量的β射线（一种电离辐射）和热量。

For one thing, there’s more than one isotope -- or form -- of strontium.

一方面，的同位素或形式止一种。

They use ytterbium or strontium – atoms that oscillate at visible light frequencies – and sync up lasers to the atomic oscillations for timekeeping.

他们使用镱或——以可见光频率振荡的原子——并将激光与原子振荡同步以进行计时。

For example, there was the leaking of highly radioactive water in 2016, and strontium and other radioactive substances were found to have exceeded normal standard in 2018.

例如，2016 年发生了高放射性水泄漏，2018 年发现等放射性物质超标。

A few years ago, NIST built a strontium clock that broke the world record for precision – that’s how accurately a clock tracks atomic oscillations.

几年前，NIST 制造了一个时钟， 打破了世界精度记录——这就是时钟跟踪原子振荡的准确程度。

Your teeth hold a lot of information about your life story, and scientists are learning how to read it, thanks to the properties of strontium.

由于的特性，你的牙齿包含了很多关于你的生活故事的信息，科学家们正在研究如何阅读这些信息。

All you'd need to do is let me borrow a couple of teeth, so I could measure how much of the element strontium is in them.

你需要做的就是借我几颗牙齿，这样我就可以测量它们中元素的含量。

Strontium aluminate is more expensive, but it has a longer persistence, which means it emits visible light more slowly, and glows longer after being energized.

铝酸价格较贵，但持久性较长，这意味着它发出可见光的速度较慢，充电后发光时间更长。

All you’d need to do is let me borrow a couple of teeth, so I could measure how much of the element strontium is in them.

你需要做的就是让我借几颗牙齿，这样我就可以测量其中有多少元素。
