Somewhat; I know Lavoisier, and was the intimate friend of Cabanis.
勉强算是吧,我认识拉瓦锡,也是卡巴尼斯的好朋友。
Lavoisier realized that this was a discovery which would bring about a tremendous revolution in chemistry.
拉瓦锡认识到这是个可能导致化学发生极大变革的发现。
Since Antoine Lavoisier, we all know that "matter can be neither created nor destroyed, though it can be rearranged," which, sadly, it eventually will.
