1. The difference between a car and an exploding can of gasoline is that the car's information -- its design -- tames the
brute energy of the gas.
一辆汽车和一个爆炸的汽油罐之间的区别,就在于汽车的信息——也就是它的设计——驯服了汽油那种残暴粗野的能量。
2. If time and money is no problem, they can use
brute-force methods that simply try every combination of letters, numbers and symbols until a match is found.
如果时间和金钱不成问题的话,他们可以使用蛮力手段即简单地偿试每一个字母数字和符号的组合直至对上找到。
3. On the whole, then, strong emotions may prepare us for the primitive type of battle in which
brute strength and endurance and speed of flight determine survival.
然而,从整体来看,强烈的感情会使我们为原始式的战争作好准备,蛮力、忍耐以及逃走的速度将决定我们能否生存。
