At that point it becomes a requirements exercise... do these gateways meet my needs, and if so, why am I continuing down a slower, more costly, more laborious path to the same end goal?

此时一个需求分析问题就出现了……这些网关能否满足我的需求？如果可以的话，为什么还要继续沿着原先那条更慢、更昂贵、更费劲的道路向相同的目标前进呢？

P1 If we have a curve c, from a point p0 to a point p1 then the line integral for work depends only on the end points and not on the actual path we chose.

如果曲线c，起点为P0，终点为1，那么计算所做功的线积分，只与端点位置有关，而与我们选择的路径无关。

Says Kuzak: "in North America, we were on a path to get there." This is our end point.

Kuzak说：“在北美，我们通过道路从起点到达终点。”

so we're going to use this concept of the path to go from the initial point to the end point.

在处理状态函数时,路径的选取。
