So Noam and I had this insight that if we want our students to understand how computers work, and understand it in the marrow of their bones, then perhaps the best way to go about it is to have them build a complete, working, general-purpose, useful computer, hardware and software, from the ground up, from first principles.
所以我和诺姆有了这一观点，如果我们想要我们的学生 了解计算机的工作方式 并了解他们的骨头里的精髓， 那么也许最好的实现方式就是 是让他们建立一个完整的、 工作的， 广泛用途的、 有用的计算机以及硬件和软件， 从基本做起，从基本原则开始。
