把这一句，留给此刻的你

Is it a surprise that into the vessel, in which the mercury has no inclination and no repugnance, not even the slightest, to being there, it should enter and should rise in a column high enough to make equilibrium with the weight of the external air which forces it up?

水银在容器中没有倾斜度，没有任何反感，甚至没有丝毫的反感，因此，当它进入容器时，它应该上升到足够高的水柱中，使之与迫使它上升的外部空气的重量达到平衡，这难道不奇怪吗?
