I'd really like to have that modularity that says, I'm only going to get access to the values, not by calling their names, but by calling some specific method to get access to their names.

这样我们就丢掉了代码的模块化,我很希望代码有这样的模块化：,我访问变量的值，不是通过直接调用它们的名字，而是通过调用某个可以,访问这些变量名的方法来访问。

to do sqrt, or square root-- no, I'm going to square root use sqrt, that's the name I'm using here-- square root a hundred different places in some piece of code. Without function, I'd have to copy that piece of code everywhere.

让我做一下准备,想象一下我要调用sqrt或者-,不，我会调用sqrt函数,这是我在这里用的名字，我得把这段代码到处复制。
