摘要翻译：
经典热力学和统计力学描述了无物与无物相互作用的系统。即使是简单流体的高度精炼的理论也不能很好地处理电相互作用、边界条件或流动，如果有的话。电相互作用、边界条件和流动是生命系统的基本特征。没有流动的生命就是死亡，因此需要一种不同的方法来活着研究生物学。复杂流体理论很好地处理了相互作用、边界条件和流动，这可以从它对液晶的成功处理中看出。我主张一般把离子溶液看作复杂的流体，含有作为溶液溶质和组分的微量元素。酶活性位点是某些溶质为反应物的特例。高浓度的蛋白质电荷使溶质挤入酶的活性位点。电场将化学反应与蛋白质和周围溶液中的电荷联系起来。相互作用增强催化和控制生物功能。我怀疑大多数发生在液体中的化学反应也需要用复杂流体理论来处理。这些反应的电子运动发生在一个暂时的高度集中的涨落中，这是一个瞬时的空间不均匀性。这些反应的电子运动（由量子力学描述）与体溶液的电场（有时是空间）耦合。我怀疑电子运动、不均匀性和化学反应（在凝聚相中）需要用复杂流体理论来处理，因为在这个系统中，就像在许多其他系统中一样，所有的东西都与其他的东西相互作用。

英文摘要：
  Classical thermodynamics and statistical mechanics describe systems in which nothing interacts with nothing. Even the highly refined theory of simple fluids does not deal very well with electrical interactions, boundary conditions, or flows, if at all. Electrical interactions, boundary conditions, and flows are essential features of living systems. Life without flow is death and so a different approach is needed to study biology alive. The theory of complex fluids deals with interactions, boundary conditions, and flows quite well as can be seen in its successful treatment of liquid crystals. I advocate treating ionic solutions in general as complex fluids, with microelements that are the solutes and components of the solution. Enzyme active sites are a special case where some solutes are reactants. Solutes are crowded into active sites of enzyme by the high density of protein charges. The electric field links chemical reactions to charges in the protein and surrounding solutions. Interactions potentiate catalysis and control biological function. I suspect that most chemical reactions that occur in liquids also need to be treated by the theory of complex fluids. The electron movements of these reactions occur in a temporary highly concentrated fluctuation, a transient spatial inhomogeneity in the bulk solution. The electron movements of these reactions (described by quantum mechanics) are coupled to the electric (and sometimes steric) fields of the bulk solution. I suspect the electron movements, inhomogeneities, and chemical reaction (in the condensed phase) need to be treated by the theory of complex fluids because everything interacts with everything else, in this system, as in so many others.
