Progress towards this goal was initially good, with a 14.4% gain in efficiency until last year.

这一进程本来相当顺利，到去年止，已经改进了14.4%。

While this is true in the short-term, it has been my experience that in the medium - to long-term, the gain in efficiency more than makes up for the slight increase in complexity.

虽然短期看来如此，但根据我的经验，从中期和长期来看，效率上的改进足以抵消略微增加的复杂度。

It might; but it would also constitute too great an intrusion on liberty for the gain in equity and efficiency it might (or might not) represent.

也许行得通；这个做法也许(也许不)代表的公平和效率将得到体现，但同时也会构成对自由的极大侵害。

That in many cases, I can gain efficiency if I'm willing to give up space. Having said that though, there may still be a problem, or there ought to be a problem that may be bugging you slightly, which is how do I guarantee that my hash function takes any input into exactly one spot in the storage space?

普遍存在的增益和权衡,在许多的例子中,可以通过牺牲空间而得到效率方面的增加,话说回来，仍然存在一个问题,或者应该会有一个问题困扰着你,就是我如何保证我的哈希函数能够准确将,任一输入映射到相应的唯一的存贮空间中去？
