1·In the process he lay the groundwork for cybernetics and systems theory, pioneered the genre of Soviet science fiction, and inadvertently established a Russian tradition in blood science.
在此过程中，他为控制论和系统科学打下了基础，他也是苏联科幻小说的先驱，在意外情况下建立起了俄国血液科学。
2·His binary notation in mathematics laid the foundation for modern cybernetics and computer theory.
他在数学上创立的“二进位制”奠定了现代控制论和计算机原理的基础。
3·Most of the work in cybernetics was at the level of the book you are now reading: armchair attempts to weave a coherent big picture together.
绝大多数控制论的研究停留在本书述及的水平：不切实际地拼织一幅宏大的画卷。
4·Real researchers were bumping their heads in frustration in AI LABS, or working in obscure institutes in Russia, where cybernetics did continue as a branch of mathematics.
真正的研究人员要么在人工智能研究室里遭遇挫折，要么在俄罗斯偏僻的科研机构里继续工作，在那里控制论研究作为数学的分支确实继续进行着。
5·On one page the "Manifesto of the Mad Farmer Liberation Front" (Wendell Berry's plea for family-scaled organic agriculture); on the next, Norbert Wiener's cybernetics.
在某一页上是“疯狂农民解放阵线宣言”（Wendell Berry呼吁将有机农业家庭化），而在那一页的背面便是Norbert Wiener的控制论。
