Which is, and we're going to do some examples of this, initially we just typed in expressions Python into the interpreter; that is,directly into Python And as I suggested last time, the interpreter is actually a program inside of the machine that is basically following the rules we're describing here to deduce the value and print it up.

也就是，我们将会对这一点讲解一些例子，一开始我们只是简单的把表达式输入,到解释器里面去，也就是直接传给,我上次跟大家讲过，解释器实际上是,机器内置的,按照我们描述的规则,来推算出结果值并把值显示出来的一个东西。

Last time, I invited you to think about life on the experience machine, where the scientists are busy stimulating your brain in such a way as to give you an exact replica, from the insides of what it would be like having identical experiences to the ones you would have if you were really doing-- well, whatever it is that's worth doing.

上节课，我要你们思考,体验机里的生活，科学家们用它刺激你的大脑,给你一份完美的体验复制品，从体验相同的经历,到体验在现实生活中-,值得做的事情。
