1·Early network Bridges, protocol converters, and routers were simple dedicated hardware units typically configured through a terminal directly connected to a serial port on the unit itself.
早期的网桥、协议转换器和路由器都是简单的专用硬件设备，通常是通过直接连接到该设备本身串口的终端来配置的。
2·Provides the ability to register additional converters for arbitrary object types.
提供为任意对象类型注册额外的转换器的功能。
3·But when you need it, it is much more robust to have well-tested built-in functions than to write your own ad-hoc converters and formatters.
但是当您需要这个功能时，使用充分测试过的内置函数要比编写您自己的特制的转换器和格式化工具要稳妥得多。
4·Check the box that instructs the wizard to generate the converters and driver to one physical file.
选中复选框，以命令该向导生成转换器并驱动到一个物理文件。
5·To do so, the team altered the way light passes through glass by creating millimeter-sized devices called monolithic glass space-variant converters.
为了达到这样的效果，小组改变了光通过玻璃方式，是通过制造了个毫米尺寸的单片玻璃空间变向转换器。
