Second skill we want you to have at the end of this course is the ability to use a vocabulary of computational tools in order to be able to understand programs written by others.

我们想让你们在课程结束时,掌握的第二个技能,是有能力使用计算工具的语言,用来理解,别人编写的程序。

And this is interesting because this suggests that to some extent the ability to use and understand and learn language is part of human nature.

这一点很有意思,因为这表明,从某种程度上来说,语言的使用,理解以及学习能力,是人类本性的一部分

I've added the ability to have more complex data structures here. But I dropped a hint in the first lecture about what you could computer with things. In fact if you think for a second about that list, you could ask what can I compute with just that set of constructs?

我添加了使用更复杂的数据结构的能力,但是我在第一节课给大家了了一个,关于你可以用什么来做计算的暗示,实际上如果你思考,这个列表一会儿的话,你会问我可以用？

You wouldn't be expected to be able to guess that this would happen, because using any kind of simple theory, we would, in fact, predict that this would not be the case, but what we find experimentally is that it's more stable to have half filled d orbital than to have a 4 s 2, and a 3 d 4.

你们不用预期有能力,猜出这个会发生，因为使用任一种简单的理论，我们事实上可以预测不会是那种情况，但是我们在实验中发现的,是半填充d轨道比,4s23d4更加稳定。

Odds are statistically most of you will tackle something web based although you'll be able to tackle something android based, iPhone based, C based, PHP, really the choice will ultimately be yours, but to think about exactly how to design good software is something you, is certainly a lesson that we want to promote.

你们中很多人,会使用基于网络的方案,虽然你有能力使用基于android，iPhone，C，PHP的方案，的确，最终是你们自己的选择，但是确切地想一想,怎样设计一个好的软件，是我们提倡的经验。

More speculatively, there has been some fairly recent work studying the genetic basis of language, looking at the genes that are directly responsible for the capacity to learn and use language.

更具体的来说,一些最新的语言遗传基础研究,探查了直接影响语言学习,及使用能力的基因
