And the nice thing is that there's a shared behavior there. Just as I can have tuples as an ordered collection of things, strings behave as an ordered collection of things.

共享的行为，就像元组是有序的元素序列,字符串也是有序的元素序列,因此我可以对字符串做同样的操作,我可以把它们连结起来。

I have sorted with the smaller problem 1 because that smaller problem right now is of size 1 and so it's sort of obviously the case that this cup is now sorted.

对这个较小的问题我已经排好序了,因为在这个小问题中只有1个元素1,那么很明显,这个杯子已经是有序的了。

Right, 'cause that means either I've been handed zero elements which mean there's really no work to be done or I've been handed one element which is a vacuous truth that it's sorted, right?

因为如果给出0个元素,那意味着不需要做任何事,如果给出1个元素，那显然,它是有序的，对吗？

It's one element like I claimed before it's sorted and so there's no work to be done.

当有1个元素时，在比较前就知道它是有序的,那就没必要再进行比较了。

这个是有序的，这个也是有序的，我怎样才能组成一个有2个元素的列表？
