And the idea was for a system with a finite number of - states. The idea was so let's say, the way we had it before, there was one state with energy zero.

这是对有有限状态数的系统的想法，想法是，那么比方说，我们之前采取的方法，有一个状态对应的能量为零。

DNA also has this sort of combinatorial system where you have a finite number of, I guess, bases or amino acids that could combine to a possible infinity of strings of DNA strings.

脱氧核糖核酸也拥有这种组合系统，你的生物基础或氨基酸数量是有限的，但却能组合出，几乎无限的脱氧核糖核酸螺旋结构。

The reason, really, is because it's a simple and also realistic way of portraying a system that has a finite number of well-defined energies.

真正的原因是它是一种简单的,并且实际的方式,用来描述具有有限数目的明确能量的系统。
