This is boring. In fact, you can do some nice things to prove what is the class of functions you can compute with straight-line programs, and what you'd see if you did that is, it's not particularly interesting.

这很无聊，实际上，你可以通过做一些很有趣的事情,来证明你可以通过直线程序,来做很多功能，但是你也看到我们之前讲过的了，这不太有趣。

And we can just extrapolate in a straight line We before saw some examples where I had an algorithm to generate points, and we fit a curve to it, used the curve to predict future points and discovered it was nowhere close.

我们可以干脆用一条直线来描述它,我们之前看到在一些例子中,我用一个算法去生成一些点，然后用一条曲线对它进行拟合，然后用这条曲线来预测未来的点,最后却发现结果完全不对。

One question is this: Is it really true that in order to think about the perfectly straight, I must have somehow, somewhere at some point come up against, had direct knowledge of, the perfectly straight?

一个问题是,难道真的说,为了想象一条完美的直线,我必须,在某处直接碰到,并直接了解一条完美的直线吗

That's a choice, and that choice turns out to be very interesting and really important, because if you connect these two points together, you get a straight line that has to intercept the x-axis at some point.

在这一选择下,我们会发现一件非常有趣，而且极其重要的事,当你把这两点用直线连接起来，你会发现这条直线,将与x轴在某点相交。
