There were wires for selecting the right row and column, and a wire that ran through every core, which could be used to read or write a bit.

有用于选择正确行和列的电线，以及穿过每个核心的电线， 可用于读取或写入位。

To convert from an address into something that selects the right row or column, we need a special component called a multiplexer -- which is the computer component with a pretty cool name at least compared to the ALU.

要将地址转换为选择正确行或列的内容，我们需要一个称为多路复用器的特殊组件——至少与 ALU 相比，这是一个非常酷的名称的计算机组件。
