For example, a binary that was compiled on a SLES8 system with a version of glibc at 2.2.5 will also run on a SLES9 system with a glibc version at 2.3 since the 2.3 version is backward compatible.

例如，在SLES8系统中使用glibc版本2.2.5编译的二进制代码，将可以在SLES9系统中使用glibc版本2.3运行，因为2.3版本是向后兼容的。

And now since it's reversible, we can run it forward or backward.

因为它是可逆的，所以可以正方向运行。

we can run the engine backward and build a refrigerator, if you've got your lecture notes from last period your 8-9, well, they're labeled 8-9 lecture notes, I made an attempt to define something which was a little bit misguided.

现在我们可以把热机倒过来,制作一台制冷机，如果你们拿出上节课的笔记,也就是8-9节，好的，他们在8-9节，当时我试着,定义了一些,有些误导你们的物理量。
