As long as it's reversible, you know what the efficiency has to be, and in principle, you could break it down into a bunch of steps that you could formulate as isothermal and adiabatic.

只要这个循环过程是可逆的，你们知道效率是多少，从理论上说，可以将总过程,分解成一系列绝热,和等温的小过程。

What's the point of this? Again, now that I can think about things recursively, I can similarly break things down into simpler versions of the same problem. It could be one version.

这些的意思是什么呢？再一次我想说,我既然能够以递归的方式思考了,那么我就可以简单地把问题,转化为更简单的同类问题。

When you're all out of specific cases and you want to handle everything else, you literally say "default:" And here I could end the program with break, but it's kind of unnecessary because once I'm at the bottom of the curly braces, that's it.

当它不在你列出的所有情况中,为了处理其他的情况，你可以用“default：“,这里我可以用break来终止这段代码，但是它是有点,不必要的，因为我已经在这个花括号的,底部了，就这样了。
