毕竟，计算机是执行一个接一个的指令的机器——但是它们如此之快，以至于大部分人不能设想用于我们正在解决的问题的不同的范型。

After all, computers were machines that executed one instruction after another — but they were so fast that most of us couldn't imagine a different paradigm for the problems we were solving.

一旦系统被引导指令程序引导完成，那么接下来的任务序列就会作为隐藏信息的一部分而被传接。

Once the system has been “bootstrapped” into existence, though, subsequent task sequences can be passed on as part of the hidden messages.

以往，滤光器只是一个接一个地接通。这一过程由手工完成，极为繁琐，需要一名专家全程用肉眼观察，然后向机器下达指令，告诉它下一步检索什么样的特征。

Traditionally, these were simply plugged in one by one, in a laborious manual process that required an expert human eye to tell the machine what features to look for, in future, at each level.

But literally all I can do at this stage is write what we would call a straight-line program, that is, a program in which we execute in which we execute the sequence of instructions one by one.

但是字面上来说,我们现在学到的,都是所谓的直线程序，也就是，一个接一个的执行,一系列的,指令的程序。
