There's an ancient and universal concept that words have power, that spells exist, and that if we could only pronounce the right words, then -- whoosh! -- you know, an avalanche would come and wipe out the hobbits, right? So this is a very attractive idea, because we're very lazy, like the Sorcerer's Apprentice, or the world's greatest computer programmer.
自古以来，文字就普遍被认为具有一种魔力， 我们相信咒语的存在，只要我们能够正确的念出那些文字。 然后，哈！你知道的，排山倒海之势就会从天而降 然后歼灭哈比人，是吧？这是一个非常有吸引力的想法 因为我们非常懒惰，有若巫士的学徒， 或是世界上最棒的软件工程师。
