So if we differentiate this object, I'm gonna find a first order condition in a second.

想要求它的导数,先让我想想一阶条件

You need to pin down an object of study, a first principle from which other principles can emerge, and part of the process is to say, "Hey, it's not literature we're talking about.

首要原则是，需要锁定要谈论，即学习的目标，可是，谁知道什么是文学。

So I differentiated this object, this is my first derivative and I set it equal to 0 Now in a second I'm going to work with that, but I want to make sure i'm going to find a maximum and not a minimum, so how do I make sure I'm finding a maximum and not a minimum?

这样我就对它求出导数了,这是一阶导数,令它等于0,一会我们就要计算了,但我先确定一下是最大值还是最小值,我怎么确定是最大值还是最小值呢

Now, I hope you guys know that much calculus, that when you take a derivative of a function of a function, namely v square over 2 is a function of v, and v itself is a function of t, then the rule for taking the derivative is first take the v derivative of this object, then take the d by dt of t, which is this one.

我希望你们了解更多的微积分知识,当你对复合函数求导时,也就是说v^/2是关于v的函数,而v本身是关于t的函数,求导的法则应该是,第一步是这一部分对v求导,然后v再对t求导,得到这一部分

This is what he says in this first passage. He says: If we study speech from several viewpoints simultaneously, the object of linguistics appears to us as a confused mass of heterogeneous and unrelated things.

这也是他在第一篇文章里说的话：,我们同时从几个角度读这篇文章，这时语言学乱的像一锅粥,没有系统毫无关联性。
