A static compiler converts source code directly to machine code that can be directly executed on the target platform, and different hardware platforms require different compilers.

静态编译器直接把源代码转换成可以直接在目标平台上执行的机器代码，不同的硬件平台要求不同的编译器。

This type, like 32-bit types on early 16-bit hardware, is actually handled by elaborate code generated by the compiler.

这个类型与早期16位硬件上的32位类型一样，实际上是通过编译器所生成的复杂代码而进行处理的。

For excellent and sufficient reasons, its keys emitted not the character itself but a "scan code", which was then remapped to the hardware level, just as a compiler would.

有充分的理由支撑，它(IBM PC)的ESC键释出的不是字符本身，而是一个“扫描指令”。随后这个指令被映射至硬件层面，就像编译器所做的。
