OK, and that leads now to an interesting question, which would be, "How do I build a mechanical process to capture that set of computations?"

好，现在出现了一个有趣的问题，就是“我怎么样才能建立计算机程序,去捕捉一系列的计算呢？

Well as we'll see later in the term, we're going to use a lot of randomness in a lot of our programs. Where we essentially do the equivalent of flipping coins or rolling dice.

我们会在晚些时候学到，我们会在很多程序中,用到一系列的随机检验,这跟掷骰子或者扔硬币差不多。

In this blank area over here next to the search tab you can type in any food that you're having, and then the program, unless it's something really unusual, the program will recognize it and then give you a series of options of things it thinks it might be.

你可以在搜索框的空白处,输入你吃的食物,之后程序会,除非是些稀奇古怪的东西,否则程序会去识别输入的内容,并给你一系列它认为可能的选项

I stress it in particular because I know you're all going to get into this stage; you've got a problem set due in a couple of hours, you're still writing the code, you don't want to waste time, and I'm going to use quotes on "waste time", doing those extra things to do the defensive programming, you just want to get the darn thing done.

我特别强调了这一点,因为我知道你们都会慢慢成为程序员;,你在写代码过程中造成了一系列的错误，你还在写代码，你不想浪费时间，我想把“浪费时间“用引号圈起来，浪费时间来做因为防卫性程序设计，而带来的这些额外的事情,你只想赶紧把程序写完，这不是一个好习惯，因为当你做完回头。

But literally all I can do at this stage is write what we would call a straight-line program, that is, a program in which we execute in which we execute the sequence of instructions one by one.

但是字面上来说,我们现在学到的,都是所谓的直线程序，也就是，一个接一个的执行,一系列的,指令的程序。
