《The Greem Flame》是一位工业化学家关于利用硼化合物研发喷气燃料和火箭推进剂绝密项目的回忆录。其中大多数化学品易燃、有毒、剧烈爆炸且极具人身危险性：而最危险的莫过于戊硼烷，它占据了半本书的篇幅。如果这听起来很枯燥，请记住：这是一本关于与空气、水、油脂、阻燃剂以及实验室化学家接触时都会发生剧烈燃烧的化学品打交道的书。书中的某些内容即便是化学极客也会觉得乏味，但其中绝不乏惊险刺激。

我想顺便推荐一本书，它把《点火！》（Ignition!）里的一个主题拿出来做了深入探讨。《绿焰》（The Green Flame）https://www.amazon.com/Green-Flame-Andrew-Dequasie-ebook/dp/... 是一本关于硼烷燃料项目的书，这个项目在《点火！》介绍特种燃料的那一章里有一笔带过，读一读应该会很值……
I’d like to throw out a mention for a book that takes one of the topics from Ignition! and covers it in depth. The Green Flame https://www.amazon.com/Green-Flame-Andrew-Dequasie-ebook/dp/... is a book about the Borane fuels project, which is covered briefly in the chapter of Ignition! on exotic fuels, and will probably be a worthwhile…
我也推荐安德鲁·德夸西（Andrew Dequasie）写的《绿焰》（The Green Flame）。讲述的是一位化学家开启新职业生涯、最终投身于硼烷燃料研发的个人自传，读起来非常引人入胜。
I also recommend ‘The Green Flame’ by Andrew Dequasie. It’s the fascinating personal story of a chemist embarking on a new career and ending up working with borane fuels.
这种事在化学界也时有发生。德夸西在他的《绿焰》（The Green Flame）一书中讲了这么个故事：“那个销售员当时一直在卖盐酸，有时也叫工业盐酸。工业级的通常会带点绿黄底色，那是被铁杂质污染导致的。……
It happens in chemistry too. In his book The Green Flame, Dequasie told the following story: "The salesman had been selling hydrochloric acid, sometimes known as muriatic acid. The industrial grade usually had a green tint caused by contamination with iron.…
