It's inside the memory of the machine, which means we have access to it, we can change it, we can use it to build new pieces of code, as well as we can interpret it.

它在机器的存储器里面，就是说我们可以进入它，改变它，可以用它来编写新代码，当然也可以翻译它。

I've got to count my way down, which means that the access would be linear in the length of the list to find the i'th element of the list, and that's going to increase the complexity.

的位置并去访问，然后继续下去，也就意味着,找到数组中的第i个元素的方法,是关于数组的长度呈线性复杂度的，这回增加算法的复杂度。

Indeed, swap in your printout there is just defined as now taking *a and *b and then it also uses the * later, but we'll come back to what the different uses of the * means, but for now I claim conceptually it just means swap has access to the locations of its parameters.

的确，在打印资料中的swap被定义为,携带*a和*b，之后它也是带*号的，但是我们将说明*的不同用法，现在，我断言swap可以,使用参数的地址。
