Whereas, ceramics, ionic crystals will resist until they shatter.(但是，陶瓷，離子晶體就會抵抗外力，只到它們破碎。)

Importer: Well, the demand for ceramics is increasing in my country.(我們國內對陶瓷的需求量愈來愈大。)

The earliest ceramics were fired to earthenware temperatures, but as early as the fifteenth century B.C., high-temperature stonewares were being made with glazed surfaces.(最早的陶瓷制品是在制陶的溫度下燒制的，但是早在公元前15世紀，（人們）已經用高溫燒制表面上釉的炻器。)

Each blade is grown from a single crystal of alloy for strength and then coated with tough ceramics.(每片渦輪機葉片由高強度單晶合金制成，上面覆蓋強韌陶瓷涂層。)

It takes advantage of ceramics' predictable tendency to bond chemically with water over time.(它利用了陶瓷的可預測傾向，用化學方法使之與隨時間與水相結合。)

The platforms are operated using Advanced Ceramics Research's integrated ground station.(該平臺采用先進陶瓷研究公司的綜合地面站運作。)

Despite the dangers, sea cucumber divers were working the area a decade ago when, 51 feet down, they came across a coral block with ceramics embedded in it.(盡管危險重重，十多年前，海參潛水員在這個區域工作，當他們潛入51英尺深的時候，無意中發現了一塊嵌有陶器的珊瑚塊。)

LAUREN: I have my passions, like ceramics, and he's got his golf.(Lauren：我有自己的愛好，像陶瓷，而他有他的高爾夫。)

In China at around 200 BC, they discovered that by adding minerals to the clay they could improve both the appearance and the strength of the ceramics.(在公元前200年左右的中國，他們發現通過在粘土中添加礦物質可以改善陶瓷的外觀和強度。)
