If my desk starts to get messy, and the world around me is in chaos, clearing off my desk is my way of getting a little piece of my life under control.

如果我的桌子变得乱七八糟，我所在世界也仿佛杂乱无章。

Not to harp on the mathematical features of this, but cubing, AX*X*X you know, if you're starting to do AX star, X star, X, every time you want to cube some value in a program, it just feels like this is going to get a little messy looking, if nothing else.

不要总是说这个的数学特性，但是体积，你们懂的，如果你开始做，在一个程序中，每次你想算几个数值的体积，感觉它就变得,有一点凌乱的，如果没有其他的。
