And two of the things about Bengal: they like their savory dishes and they like their sweets.
孟加拉人有两大爱好：他们喜欢美食和甜点。
So by the time I grew up, again, I had a well-established passion for food. Now I was growing up in the late ’60s and early ’70s, and
所以我长大之后，对美食的爱好根深蒂固。我成长在六十年代末七十年代初，
there were a number of other passions I was also interested in, but these two were the ones that differentiated me.
也有不少其它兴趣，但这两个爱好让我与众不同。
And then life was fine, dandy. Everything was okay, until I got to about the age of 26, and I went to a movie called “Short Circuit.”
随后我的生活一帆风顺。一切都挺好的，直到我二十六岁那一年。我看了一部名叫《雷霆五号》的电影。
Oh, some of you have seen it. And apparently it’s being remade right now and it’s going to be coming out next year.
哦，你们好多人都看过。现在这部电影正在被重拍明年上映。

能量以某种形式或形态进入它的身体，数据以某种形式或形态进入它的身体。
And I began to think, I wonder what it would be like to start imagining myself
我开始思考，我在想既然食物和信息从某种程度上来说十分相似，
as if energy and information were the two things I had as input — as if food and information were similar in some form or shape.
那么我们能否将能量和信息统一视为输入呢？
