Punch tape is a great example – this was explicitly designed to be easy for computers to read.

打孔带就是一个​​很好的例子——它被明确设计为易于计算机阅读。

Programs were stored and fed into the computer on punched paper tape.

程序通过穿孔纸带存储并输入计算机。

INTRO The earliest computer storage was paper punch cards, and its close cousin, punched paper tape.

INTRO 最早的计算机存储是纸质穿孔卡，它的近亲是穿孔纸带。

To create code that repeated the same operation multiple times, you'd tape the two ends of the punched tape together, creating a physical loop.

要创建多次重复同一操作的代码，您可以将穿孔带的两端粘在一起，形成一个物理循环。

A close cousin to punch cards was punched paper tape, which is basically the same idea, but continuously instead of being on individual cards.

穿孔卡片的近亲是穿孔纸带，这基本上是相同的想法，但连续而不是在单独的卡片上。

This allowed you, for example, to load a longer, more complicated program from punch tape, and then interact with it using a teletype terminal.

例如，这允许您从穿孔带加载更长、更复杂的程序，然后使用电传打字机终端与其交互。

By the way, as you can see, they " patched" some bugs in this program by literally putting patches of paper over the holes on the punch tape.

顺便说一句，如您所见，他们通过在穿孔带上的孔上放置纸片来“修补”该程序中的一些错误。

In this way, Atlas could have one program running calculations on the CPU, while another was printing out data, and yet another reading in data from a punch tape.

通过这种方式， Atlas 可以让一个程序在 CPU 上运行计算，而另一个程序正在打印数据， 还有另一个程序从穿孔带读取数据。
