The second is that you do not take active steps to prevent it.

So even within this framework of, given a description of a computation as a set of steps, in the idea that I could build a circuit to do it, let me suggest for you what would be a wonderful circuit to build.

所以即使需要在将计算描述，当成一系列步骤中的一步,这个框架之内,我也完全可以建立一个线路,来完成那个想法，让我为你们假设能建造起,一个多么棒的线路吧。

And also be well-informed as to what you need to do and the steps you need to take

对于你要做什么，要采取什么步骤，你都要保持消息灵通，

"People can do things in their own lives, with their children, they can do work in their communities to improve it and once you take those steps, the next logical step is to make sure that your government officials are doing the right thing."

The other obvious one to do would be worst case. Again, over all possible inputs to this function, what's the most number of steps it takes to do the computation?

很明显另一种就是针对最坏的情况了,也就是在所有可能的输入,里面选出用的,步骤最多的那个输入？

OK, now we can do the process in two steps.

好，我们可以把过程分为两步。

I was just finding very tunnel vision-like, the smallest elements at that moment in time which means I don't know anything about the other elements other than they are not the smallest and so no matter what with Selection Sort I had to repeat this again and again and again and if you do out the math it's roughly N squared steps in the worst case as well.

我只有一个狭窄的视野，只知道某时刻的最小元素,就意味着我并不知道其他元素的任何情况,只知道它们不是最小的,所以不管怎样，在选择排序中,我就得一遍一遍地重复选择过程,在最坏情况下,大概需要N的平方次比较。

If I want to try and decide how to tackle a problem in an iterative matter, here the steps I'm going to go through. First thing I'm going to do, is I'm going to choose a variable that's going to count.

但是这就是我对它的观点,如果我试着去以迭代的方式,解决一个问题的话,下面是我应该采取的步骤,第一件要做的事情。

As I said, what we want to do is, we want to count the number of basic steps it takes to compute a computation as a function of input size.

我刚才提到了，我们要建立，一个根据输入大小的方法来计算,一个计算过程需要的时间,建立这个方法需要几步呢？

I will tell you that a good programmer, at least in my mind, may actually go back and modify the pseudo code as they realize they're missing things, but it's easier to do that when you're looking at a simple set of steps, than when you're in the middle of a pile of code.

至少我认为是这样的，如果他们发现遗漏了,一些步骤的话会,回过头去修改伪代码,但这当你面对一些大致的步骤时,这个过程就会比,面对一堆代码要简单的多。

Of course, the cyclic steps that we've taken to do this apply not just for breaking down reactants and product into the elements in their standards states, but of course we could also look at whole sets of reactions and write cycles as well, right.

当然，我们这里用的循环的,步骤不仅仅在把生成物,和反应物拆成其标准状态下,的元素时有效,我们也可以研究整个一系列,反应并写出相应循环。
