Right, so there's that special sentinel value that's back slash zero, which we'll start to see more explicitly now.

对的，这里有一个特殊的值“反斜杠0“,我们等下会更了解它。

Now, I mentioned this other sentinel value a while back.

现在，我刚才提到了这个标记值。

So it does that for us so that you can get away with just knowing the address of the first byte and it will make sure that you know when to stop by including the special value so, in fact, get the string if you type in a three-letter word, we allocate four bytes no matter what because we need an additional byte 0 for this special sentinel value back slash zero at the very end.

它为我们做了这些事情，这样我们就可以,通过第一个字节的地址,它还可以通过包含一个特殊的值,来保证在哪里停止，如果你输入了一个三个字母的单词,就可以获得那个字符串，不管怎样，我们分配四个字节,因为我们在末端需要一个额外的字节,来保存这个特殊的标志值--反斜杠。

Well, this question mark becomes an O, this question mark becomes an O, and then the loop terminates 0 1 2 because it's iterating from zero to N so that's zero, 1, 2 and the length of the string is 3 so the loop terminates, but I remember that I needed to have this special sentinel value so I'm just going to put it there manually.

嗯，这个问号变成了，这个问号变成了0，然后循环结束了,以为迭代从0到N，那就是，字符串的长度是3，然后循环就结束了，但是我记得我需要这个特殊的标记值,所以需要手动的加上它。
