The " on" state represents one type of binary digit (a one, say) and the " off" state represents the other (zero).

" 开" 状态表示中一个数字（就是" 一" ），" 关" 状态可以表示另一个数字（即" 零" ）。

So binary digits, or otherwise known as bits.

所以数字，或者其他称为位。

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

而位实际上来自两个字，数字。

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

这些数字中每一个，1 或 0，都称为一个“位”。

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

我们可以构简单加法电路采用两个数字，并将它们相加。

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东西，我们只需要添加更多数字。

They would do this by using binary digits which, instead of having a value of either “one” or “zero”, had both at the same time.

途径是使用（即既有“1”也有“0”两个值）。

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 0 和 1，可以说，越来越多数字或位，我们可以数到越来越高。

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个数字正确顺序，在短短33秒内完成52张牌完整展示。

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.

大多数这样计算机使用一种称为布尔逻辑数学类型，它只有两个可能值，逻辑条件真和假，用数字 1 和 0 表示。
