But it is a very handy way of thinking about, not just how to program, but how to break problems down into nice sized chunks.

但是它确实是一种很方便的思考方式，不仅仅限于编程序,在将程序分解为小部分时也很有用。

When they do that they can actually engulf the bacteria in a process called phagocytosis and break them down into antigens.

免疫细胞确实是将细菌整个吞进了肚内,这一过程称为吞噬作用,并将细菌分解成小抗原

As long as it's reversible, you know what the efficiency has to be, and in principle, you could break it down into a bunch of steps that you could formulate as isothermal and adiabatic.

只要这个循环过程是可逆的，你们知道效率是多少，从理论上说，可以将总过程,分解成一系列绝热,和等温的小过程。

What's the point of this? Again, now that I can think about things recursively, I can similarly break things down into simpler versions of the same problem. It could be one version.

这些的意思是什么呢？再一次我想说,我既然能够以递归的方式思考了,那么我就可以简单地把问题,转化为更简单的同类问题。

Our goal is to take problems and break them down into these computational steps, these sequence of instructions that'll allow us to capture that process.

我们的目标是得到问题,然后将问题分解为这些计算步骤，这些指令集,可以让我们看到这个过程。

And you know, you could have a reversible engine with lots and lots of steps, but you could always break them down into some sequence of adiabatic and isothermal steps.

你们知道，我们可以设计一个由，很多很多个,循环步骤的热机，但是总可以把它分割成,一系列的绝热,和等温过程。

Well, break it down into pieces. Suppose x is positive. Does it terminate? Sure. All right?

好，分开来讨论，假设x是整数,程序会终结么？肯定会的对不对？
