The smaller the particle, the more it skitters and the farther to the right it wanders. 越小的粒子，蹒跚行进得越厉害，向右漂流的距离也越远。

For instance, the shy pup who cringes and skitters away from you when you crouch down to pet her. 例如，当你蹲下爱抚一条幼犬，它会因畏缩而飞快溜走。

The easiest explanation was that these particles were alive, but Brown showed that even finely powdered rock skitters when suspended in water. 最简单的解释是这些粒子是有生命的，不过布朗证明了就算是岩石的细粉，悬浮在水里也会有类似的运动。
