And you go on through transistors. And suddenly you are in the digital age.

然后通过体管传递声音，最后我们突然间进入了数码时代。

However, transistors come in two varieties, n-type (negative) and p-type (positive).

不过，体管却有两种，一种是N型（负），一种是P型（正）。

First it was stored in tubes, then on transistors and later on very small chips.

开始记忆被存放于电子管里，然后是体管和后来更小的片。

Only if transistor A AND transistor B are on does the output wire have current.

Instead of having two transistors in series -- one after the other -- we have them in parallel.

我们拿出之前出现过的两个体管，但是用并联来代替之前的串联。

But even a present-day transistor operates at the Gigahertz.

但是就算是现在的电体 都以千兆赫的频率运行。

Also, if both transistors are on, the output is still on.

若两个体管同时打开，输出依旧为 on 。

然而，就在夸克、半导体、核酸和纳米管等 涌现的同时，出现了一个问题。

Ones and zeroes representing the on and off states of the transistor.

“1”和“0”代表体管的开关状态。

Cracking this problem—so that transistors can act as their own non-volatile memory—would make all computers faster.

解决这个问题——以便于让体管使用自身的非易失性半导体存储器——将会让所有的电脑运行速度更快。

Same thing if transistor A is off, but Transistor B in on.

如果将体管A关闭，但是体管B打开，情况同上。

Now here’s the cool part -- we can easily build boolean logic out of transistors.

然后显示进行操作后生的结果。
