The total amount of the work that we can get out is just given by the area inside this curve.

我们可以得出来的工作的总量只是由这条曲线里的区域给出的。

However, when we calculate the area under this curve, we see that the short burst approach accomplished: 38 units of work!

然而，我们看这条曲线下的部分，就会发现其实用中分法完成了38个单位的工作！

Both of these formulas basically relate work on a curve with what happens to the curl on the surface that is enclosed by this curve, that is bounded by this curve.

基本上，这两个公式把沿曲线的功，和被曲线包围的曲面上的旋度，联系起来了，曲面是以该曲线为边界的。

the total amount of the work that we can get out is just given by the area inside this curve.

能够输出的功就是,我们可以得出来,曲线所包围的面积。

W2 So in this case, it's the amount of work is the area under that curve. And in this case here, the amount of work is bigger, w2 is bigger and it's the area under this curve.

这是路径2做的功,比W1要大，现在假设,我把这两条路径结合起来。
