This is the fact that we occupy a finite volume in space, because they're little hard spheres in this molecule.

这是由气体分子在空间中,占据有限体积造成的,因为事实上它们是硬的小圆球。

And this is the reason why enthalpy was invented and why it's so important. Because we want to know this. So this for a finite change.

这也就是为什么焓要被提出,而且如此重要的原因,因为我们想要知道这些。

Because of the fact that you're going to die, obviously enough, it's not just that you'll get whatever life you get, but there's a finite amount of life that you're going to get.

因为你会死这个事实，很显然，不只是说你得到什么样的生命，而是说你将会得到一段有限年数的生命。

So, for example: in this case, my list is a bunch of integers. And one of the things I could take advantage of, is I'm only going to need a finite amount of space to represent an integer.

列表是一系列整数,要注意的这里的优势能够,用有限的空间来表示整数,例如，如果我想要操作。

You have discrete random variables, like the one I just defined, or there are also--which take on only a finite number of values-- and we have continuous random variables that can take on any number of values along a continuum.

就像刚定义的,是一个离散型随机变量,随机变量还可以有无限种取值,也就是连续型随机变量,随机变量可以取某一区间的一切值

Because you can come up with an infinite number of values but if you have a finite amount of space and certainly a computer has a finite amount of disk space or RAM, you have to make approximations.

你可能会碰到一些无限的值,如果你只有有限的空间,废话，电脑当然只有一个有限的磁盘空间,或RAM，我们得做一些近似处理。

So unlike Scratch where you pretty much had to say "repeat" ten times or whatever, or forever where it's just "forever" with for loops, -- can you actually specify a finite number of iterations -- and as I learned 15 years ago, finite is important.

所以不像Scratch，你大致上需要用,“repeat“10次或更多，或者需要不断地使用当它,是死循环时，你们能够指定出一个有限的迭代次数-,像我15年前学的，有穷的是重要的。
