It was an image, in binary code, of a cartoon person and some chemistry diagrams.

该信息是由二进制字编码而成的图像，有通化的人物和一些化学图形。

And bits actually derive from just two words, binary digits.

而位实际上来自两个字，二进制字。

So binary digits, or otherwise known as bits.

所二进制字，或者其他的称为位。

And you need similar context to tell whether you’re looking at binary numbers or binary text.

您需要类似的上下文来判断您查看的是二进制字还是二进制文本。

And if we want to represent larger things we just need to add more binary digits.

如果我们想表示更大的东西，我们只需要添加更多的二进制字。

We can assign the specific numbers in binary to letters of the alphabet.

我们可把特定的二进制字指定给字母表中的字母。

The simplest adding circuit that we can build takes two binary digits, and adds them together.

我们可的最简单的加法电路采用两个二进制字，并将它们相加。

Each of these binary digits, 1 or 0, is called a " bit" .

这些二进制字中的每一个，1 或 0，都称为一个“位”。

So last episode, we talked about how numbers can be represented in binary.

所上一集，我们讨论了如何用二进制表示字。

But to represent larger numbers, binary needs a lot more digits.

但是为了表示更大的字，二进制需要更多的字。

So last episode, we talked about how numbers can be represented in binary. Representing Like, 00101010 is 42 in decimal.

所上一集，我们讨论了如何用二进制表示字。代表Like，00101010十进制是42。

And if we use more and more zeros and ones, more and more binary digits or bits so to speak, we can count up higher and higher and higher.

如果我们使用越来越多的 0 和 1，可说，越来越多的二进制字或位，我们可到越来越高。

Memory Champion Marwin Wallonius used it to remember, in just 30 minutes, the correct order of 5040 binary digits and a complete deck of 52 cards in just 33 seconds.

记忆冠军马尔文·沃龙尼斯用它在短短30分钟内记住了5040个二进制字的正确顺序，在短短33秒内完成52张牌的完整展示。

So for instance, if I take this here light switch, which is currently off, I could simply say that this switch here is representing the number zero in binary.

举个例子，如果我拿这个灯的开关，它现在是关着的，我可简单地说这个开关在二进制中代表字零。

Most such computers use a type of math called Boolean logic that has only two possible values, the logical conditions true and false, denoted by binary digits one and zero.

大多这样的计算机使用一种称为布尔逻辑的学类型，它只有两个可能的值，逻辑条件真和假，用二进制字 1 和 0 表示。
