Well, maybe this ended up at location 7, 8, 7 8 9 9 so what's really in x is the number 7, 8, 9, which is the address in memory, but again, uninteresting.

嗯，可能这个在地址7，8，9结束，那么在x中实际上是数字，那是内存中的地址，但是，那是没有什么用的。

X That's just the special symbol in C that says don't pass X, that is don't pass a copy of X. Rather figure out where x is in memory, where he is in that frame and provide swap the numeric address in RAM of that value so that swap can go do anything it wants at that address.

这在C中是一个特殊的符号，指明不传送，也不是传递X的拷贝，而是指出x在内存中哪个地方,它在那个框架中的哪个地方,提供给swap它的地址值,这样swap就可以使用那个地址中的数据。

I mean what if you're running so many things, what if the user has copied and pasted their thesis and just pasted it at the blinking prompt such that you're now out of memory because your computer is somewhat limited in memory so get string cannot possibly return all those characters or fit all of those characters in memory and return to you the address of the first.

如果你运行了很多程序，假使用户复制粘贴了他们的论文,只是粘贴在光标提示符那里,这样就出现了内存不足,因为你们的计算机的内存是有限的,所以GetString不可能返回所有的字符,或者保存这些字符到内存中,并且返回第一个字符的地址。
