And as long as that smaller computation reduces to another smaller computation, eventually I ought to get to the place where I'm down in that base case.

如果我不属于基础事件,那么我需要把它简化为更简单的计算，随着计算的不断简化,最终我能分解成基础事件。

Now remember, we went through before how it's a state function but to calculate it, you'd need to find a reversible path, along which you can figure this out.

请记住，我们不需要知道它是怎样的一个态函数,只计算就可以了，你需要找到一条可逆路径，沿着这条路径就能算得这个结果。

And if you're going from Boston to someplace else where New York just happens to be on the way, it doesn't have to recompute that part of it.

如果你是从波士顿到其他地方,而碰巧路过纽约你就不需要，重新计算从波士顿到纽约这段路了。

So the problem I want to do-- there are many things you could do but I just picked one, and this is the one with round numbers, so I can do it without a calculator.

我想讲的这道题,类似的题目很多,但我就选了其中一个,这道题涉及的数字都是整数,所以我不需要计算器

So if I worry about energy I have a pretty good chance of extracting out these heat capacities, right, and I don't have to worry about exactly which path and I can really mix things up.

而能量与热容有密切的关系,从能量就可以就算出这两个热容，我不需要考虑到底是哪一条路径,可以随意计算。

OK, so what else do I have then in my little class definitions here?

你需要重新计算其他的值,来让保证不出现错误？
