But what's on the screen here is what's called assembly code.

但屏幕上显示的是所谓的汇编代码。

And those commands tend to be expressed in this language called assembly code.

而这些命令往往是用这种称为汇编代码的语言来表达的。

The compiler assembles it into assembly code.

编译器将其汇编成汇编代码。

Then it compiles it into assembly code.

然后将其编译成汇编代码。

It's certainly been a while even since I thought hard about assembly code.

我已经有一段时间没有认真考虑汇编代码了。

Assembly code is a little closer to what the computer itself understands.

汇编代码更接近计算机本身的理解。

Remember, in assembly code, we had to fetch values from memory, deal with registers, and other low-level details.

请记住，在汇编代码中，我们必须从内存中获取值、处理寄存器和其他低级细节。

They're always creating their own programming systems. Anyway, on average, programs written in FORTRAN were 20 times shorter than equivalent handwritten assembly code.

他们总是在创建自己的编程系统。无论如何，平均而言，用FORTRAN编写的程序比同等的手写汇编代码短20倍。

At the same time, abstraction in programming allowed those computer experts – now " professional programmers" – to create increasingly sophisticated programs, which would have taken millions, tens of millions, or even more lines of assembly code.

同时，编程中的抽象让那些计算机专家——现在是“专业程序员”——创造出越来越复杂的程序，这些程序可能需要数百万、数千万甚至更多行的汇编代码。
