We started off talking about binary search, and I suggested that this was a log algorithm which it is, which is really kind of nice.

我告诉了你们这是一个对，数级的算法，这是很棒的,我们来一起看看这个算法到底做了什么。

OK. So, what do I want you to take away from this? This idea of binary search is going to be a really powerful tool. And it has this property again, of chopping things into pieces.

从这里学到些什么？二分查找的思想,是一个非常有用的工具,我重复一遍，把问题拆成几部分来解决,那事实上，这里的增长率是多少？

The way in which we put signs together is to take these bundles, these binary relationships between a concept and a sound image, and adjust them in an unfolding sequence.

我们随意地将能指和所指捆在一起，也就是构成了一个事物和声音形象的关系，而且他们能被排列成话语。

But at the end of the day, and here's why we just went with binary and not decimal years ago, when you have one implement a computer with a physical device, it's actually really easy to represent the notion of on or off.

但是最终，之前我们采用二进制,而不是十进制，主要是因为当我们用一台实体机器运行计算机时，这实际上很容易用开或者关的概念来表示。

I'm narrowing it down. It's getting a little silly but you know I'm going to really be persistent and just follow the rules here of binary search, rather than jumping to conclusions.

按照二分法的规则来做的,而不是直接得出某种结论,很明显这儿我的目的是什么？,显示这两个相同的东西。

Voice and writing, by the way, are not a stable binary.

顺道说一句，声音和文字不是稳定的二元系统。

And a bit, B-I-T, just a shorthand for binary digit, 2 so a digit of zero over a one, bi means two, you only have two digits.

比特，B-I-T，是binary，digit的简写，从0到1的数字，而bi表示，所以你就只有两个数字。
