Second thing we've got to worry about is, what's a basic step? All right, if I bury a whole lot of computation inside of something, I can say, wow, this program, you know, runs in one step. Unfortunately, that one step calls the Oracle at Delphi and gets an answer back. Maybe not quite what you want.

我们需要担心的第二件事情就是，什么该作为一个基本的步骤呢？,如果我把一大堆的计算过程放到里面，我可以说，噢，这个程序你知道的，一步就完成了，不幸的是,这一步可能要靠预言家才能得到答案,这可能跟你想要的结果不太相同吧。

This much, by the way, Wimsatt has in common with Gadamer, because Gadamer doesn't talk much about authors either, and Gadamer is interested in what he calls meaning, the subject matter, die Sache. Right? He's not interested in your sort of expression of that meaning or my expression of that meaning.

顺便说一句，文萨特和葛达玛很大相同之处就在于，葛达玛也不太强调作者的作用，而是对文章的含义，主题感兴趣，不是吗？，他不关注作品在用,你的还是我的表达方式来表现内涵。
