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

" 开" 的状态表示二进制中的一个数（就是" 一" ），" 关" 的状态表示另一个数（即" 零" ）。

So binary digits, or otherwise known as bits.

所二进制数，其他的称为位。

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

而位实际上来自两个，二进制数。

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

这些二进制数中的每一个，1 0，都称为一个“位”。

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

我构建的最简单的加法电路采用两个二进制数，并将它相加。

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

如果我想表示更大的东西，我只需要添加更多的二进制数。

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.

途径是使用二进制（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.

如果我使用越来越多的 0 和 1，说，越来越多的二进制数位，我数到越来越高。

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个二进制数的正确顺序，在短短33秒内完成52张牌的完整展示。

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.

大多数这样的计算机使用一种称为布尔逻辑的数学类型，它只有两个能的值，逻辑条件真和假，用二进制数 1 和 0 表示。
