Second thing we've got to worry about is, what's a basic step? All right, if I bury a whole lot of computation inside of something, I can say, wow, this program, you know, runs in one step. Unfortunately, that one step calls the Oracle at Delphi and gets an answer back. Maybe not quite what you want.

我们需要担心的第二件事情就是，什么该作为一个基本的步骤呢？,如果我把一大堆的计算过程放到里面，我可以说，噢，这个程序你知道的，一步就完成了，不幸的是,这一步可能要靠预言家才能得到答案,这可能跟你想要的结果不太相同吧。
