This is the fact that we occupy a finite volume in space, because they're little hard spheres in this molecule.

这是由气体分子在空间中,占据有限体积造成的,因为事实上它们是硬的小圆球。

But because you only have a finite number of bits, the takeaway for today is that there's only so much precision.

因为只有有限个比特，今天的重点就是，它就这么点精度。

So, for example: in this case, my list is a bunch of integers. And one of the things I could take advantage of, is I'm only going to need a finite amount of space to represent an integer.

列表是一系列整数,要注意的这里的优势能够,用有限的空间来表示整数,例如，如果我想要操作。

You have discrete random variables, like the one I just defined, or there are also--which take on only a finite number of values-- and we have continuous random variables that can take on any number of values along a continuum.

就像刚定义的,是一个离散型随机变量,随机变量还可以有无限种取值,也就是连续型随机变量,随机变量可以取某一区间的一切值

as long as it's small and finite, will lead to some small infinite errors in the formula, but remember it's got to be in the end made to be vanishingly small.

只要它只是有限小,就会在公式中引起无限小的误差,但请记住,Δt最后变得难以察觉地小
