A low-level language, we used to call this assembly programming, you're down at the level of, your primitives are literally moving pieces of data from one location of memory to another, through a very simple operation.

一个低级的语言，我们曾经将其称为假设编程，你们只是处于用基本要素，把一些数据碎片,从记忆存储器的一个地方，通过简单的操作来转到另外一个地方。

OK. Now, fortunately we're not going to start with Turing's six primitives, this would be really painful programming, because they're down at the level of, "take this value and write it onto this tape."

好了，现在，幸好我们能开始讲述,图灵的六个基本类型了，这会是非常痛苦的编程，因为它们只在这个阶段上，“拿到这个结果并写在这一卷磁盘上“
