But to translate this now to a language C, you've got some curly braces, you got an if, some parentheses, but now we're just building on some of the syntax we introduced before.

如果把它转换成C语言，你又会看到一些大括号啊，if啊，圆括号啊等等，我们只是借助,之前学过的语法规则。

The curly braces are then the C's way of kind of making a puzzle piece that looks like this so you can put stuff inside.

花括号是C语言的一个方式,用来做一个像这样的程序块,所以你可以把代码写在里面。

And I don't quite remember from reading or from class how big these things are, well, it turns out -- and this is sometimes useful, later on more likely than now -- but C has a size of operator that takes an argument in parenthesis and it will tell you how much space is used to store that particular data type.

我不太记得类中的这些类型,是多大的，嗯，结果是--这个在以后比现在，可能是更有用的--不过C语言中有个sizeof的操作符,其中括号里有一个参数,它会告诉我们，要存储一个类型的数据,需要占用多大空间。
