Well if you think about these steps, here's an easy way to do it. Let's start at 1.

如果你要考虑步骤的话，这里有个简单的方法，让我们从第一步开始。

I still have to do this process and here is where the finger thing gets a little more useful 'cause I have longer lists.

我仍需要进行这一步骤,在这儿手指的方法就比较有用，因为,列表比之前的要长。

Suppose instead, I want a machine that can take a recipe, the description of a sequence of steps, take that as its input, and then that machine will now act like what is described in that recipe.

假设换成这个，我想要一台可以安装描述，一系列步骤的结果的方法的机器，把那个当做输入设备，然后那台机器可以像方法中,描述的那样运行了。

What we're saying is, in order to do computation, we want to describe recipes, we want to describe this sequence of steps built on some primitives, and we want to describe the flow of control that goes through those sequence of steps as we carry on So the last thing we need before we can start talking about real programming is, we need to describe those recipes.

我们在说，为了做计算，我们想描述一个方法，想描述建立在,相同基本类型上的步骤序列，而且我们想描述经过我们设计的,步骤的序列的，控制流程,因此我们开始谈论真正的编程之前,的最后一件事是，我们需要描述一下那些方法。
