It doesn't represent any particular neuron in the body, but just meant to represent functions that all of them have.

它不代表体内任何特定的神经元,只是用来表现神经元共有的一些功能

So we can do this essentially for any atom we want, we just have more and more wave functions that we're breaking it up to as we get to more and more electrons.

所以我们基本上对，任何一个原子都可以这么做,我们仅仅会有越来越多的波函数,因为我们将它分为越来越多的电子。

And the problem is, that we want to build this abstract data type, but we'd like to basically know what kind of object is it, and what functions actually belong to it, how do we use them?

然后我对它们运行了这个方法，就是这一小段代码这个方法,这有意义么？,当然没有了，对不对？,因为你知道，当你把两个极坐标，表示的点进行相加运算的时候？

As long as you're dealing with state functions it doesn't matter to get at the same results here.

不影响结果,我们的推导就基于这一点。

And if you think about it, associated with each - one of those data types is a set of functions it's intended to apply to.

你会发现每个类型都有，与之对应的一个集合的操作,有的时候这些操作,有的时候某个操作可以,应用于多种数据类型。

or at least one mechanism, I shouldn't say -- the only one-- one mechanism for doing that is going to be to add functions is that it's going to provide both of these things, so the first thing it's going to do is, it's going to let us break up into modules.

我们处理这些的机制--至少一种机制,我不会说只有一种,一种机制是在我们的语言中增加函数,函数的关键是它要提供分解和抽象,所以第一件要做的事，就是将代码分解为模块。

And it's a topic I want to pick up on today, we're going to do for the next few lectures, and it's a topic I want to spend some time on because this idea of capturing data and methods, the term we're going to use for it, but data and functions that belong to that data, things that can be used to manipulate them, is a really powerful one.

我们会在今天讲这个话题,在后面几节课还会讲这个,这是个我愿意花点时间，在上面的话题因为这是个,捕获数据和方法的思想,我们用这个术语来形容它，数据中包括了数据和函数等，能用来操作它们的东西,真的是很强大的工具，我们真正要讲的东西是，我们要学会如何把信息。

It turns out we can express all these functions in terms of G, G we wouldn't need to choose G, but it's a very useful function to choose.

最终我们能把所有的这些函数,用自由焓G表示出来，我们没有必要选择，但是这个选择很有用。

Second thing they're going to do is let us suppress detail. And in essence what that does is, the functions, and we're going to look at a bunch of examples in a second, these functions are going to give us a way to, in some or in one way of thinking about it is to create new primitives.

第二件要做的事,是忽略细节,函数的本质到底是什么,我们将在接下来的几分钟，举一些例子，这些函数将给我们提供,一种创建原语的思考方式。

Sometimes the functions -- sometimes a function can be used on multiple data types, plus, for example, we saw could add strings, or could add ints, but each one of those data types has associated with it a set of functions that are geared to handling them.

比如说，我们可以对string类型,进行add操作,也可以对int类型进行这个操作，但是这些数据类型中的每一种，都与适合于操作它们的,方法集相关联,我们想对我们创建的数据,类型做同样的事情。
