The process to control it is intriguing and interesting but the heart of the computer is simply this notion that we build our descriptions, our recipes, on a sequence of primitive instructions.

这个控制它的过程很耐人寻味，很有意思,但是计算机的核心仅仅只是,我们在初始指令序列上，建造描述、方法的一个概念罢了。

Usually what I want to talk about is what's the smallest size class in which this function grows? With all of that, what that says b is that this we would write is order b.

通常我们想要的是,方法增长时最贴切的描述,也就是说，在这个问题上,算法关于。

And inside of the machine, and things we'll talk about, there is a process that will allow that sequence to be executed as described in that recipe, so it can behave like any thing that I can describe in one of those recipes.

在机器里面，还有我们要说的，里面有一个我们允许的,在方法中描述的,将要被执行的序列的过程，因此它可以像我在方法之中,描述的任意一种那样来表现。

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。
