entropy
含义: A measure of the disorder or randomness in a system; in thermodynamics, a quantity representing the amount of energy in a system that is no longer available for doing useful work.
The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system always increases over time. This principle explains why heat flows from hot to cold, why ice melts in warm water, and ultimately why the universe tends towards disorder. In information theory, entropy measures the uncertainty or information content of a message. Figuratively, it describes a gradual decline into disorder.
例句
- According to the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy of the universe is always increasing. 根据热力学第二定律,宇宙的熵总是在增加。Según la segunda ley de la termodinámica, la entropía del universo aumenta constantemente.熱力学の第二法則によれば、宇宙のエントロピーは常に増加している。열역학 제2법칙에 따르면, 우주의 엔트로피는 항상 증가하고 있다.
- In information theory, entropy quantifies the average amount of information contained in each message. 在信息论中,熵量化了每条消息中包含的平均信息量。En la teoría de la información, la entropía cuantifica la cantidad media de información contenida en cada mensaje.情報理論では、エントロピーは各メッセージに含まれる平均的な情報量を定量化する。정보이론에서 엔트로피는 각 메시지에 포함된 평균 정보량을 정량화한다.
- The abandoned building was a picture of entropy, slowly crumbling into ruin. 那座废弃的建筑是熵的写照,正在慢慢崩塌为废墟。El edificio abandonado era una imagen de la entropía, desmoronándose lentamente hasta convertirse en ruinas.その廃墟と化した建物はエントロピーの象徴であり、ゆっくりと崩壊しつつあった。그 폐건물은 엔트로피의 상징으로, 서서히 폐허로 무너져 내리고 있었다.

起源与历史
Coined by Rudolf Clausius in 1865 from Greek entropia (a turning towards), from en (in) and trope (a turn). Clausius chose the word to echo 'energy' and suggest transformation.
