Well let's see. My fall back is, I could just do linear search, walk down the list one at a time, just comparing those things. OK. So that's sort of my base. But what if I wanted, you know, how do I want to get to that sorted list? All right?

我只能做线性搜索了,一次遍历一遍列表，一个一个比较，但如果我想要,那怎样得到有序的列表呢？,现在的一个问题是，我们排序之前？

At the end of the first round, I've got the smallest element at the front. At the end of the second round, I've got the smallest two elements at the front, in fact I got all of them sorted out. And it actually runs through the loop multiple times, making sure that it's in the right form.

看看发生了什么，在第一轮结束后,我把最小的元素移到了前面,第二轮结束后，我把最小的,两个元素移到了前面，实际上,所有的元素都排好序了,实际上，这个算法运行了几次循环，确认下这是正确的形式。

Really there's no work to be done if I am handed all in sorted order so, you know, There's no work to be done if I'm handed all of the arrays in sorted order so, you know, if I demand that you give me this assumption that the cups are already sorted and then I'll sort them for you, I mean, this is kind of a cyclical argument.

如果杯子是有序排列的,那就没必要再对它进行排序了，同样如果给出的序列本身就是有序的,那也不必再做什么，如果给出这样的假设：,杯子已经有序，但仍需要对其进行排序，这像是个循环的论点。
