It's going to let us bury away the specifics of something, and treat that computation like a black box. And by black box, I mean, literally behaves like a mysterious little black box.

通过抽象我们可以将一些细节,掩埋起来并将这一段计算当成黑盒,说到黑盒我的意思就是,字面上的像一个神秘的小黑盒。

All right? If you run it, you have a sense of the upper bound, about how much time it's going to take to do this computation, so you're not going to get surprised by something showing up.

第一，这样做意味着没有意外了对不对？,你去运行程序,你已经大致知道运行时间的上限了，因此发生任何事情,你都不会吃惊了。

Computing square root. I'm going to capture it in a piece of code, I'm going to be able to refer to it by a name, and I'm going to suppress the details, meaning inside of that computation, you don't need to know what it does. You just need to know, if I give it the right kind of input, it'll give me back an input that satisfies the contract that I set up.

比如计算平方根,我会用一段代码来说明,我将给它命名,并且忽略细节,意思就是在这一段计算过程中,你不用知道它做了什么，你只需知道，如果我进行了正确的输入,它将会给我符合条件的输出。
