He proposed a hypothetical computing machine, which we now call a Turing Machine.

他提出了一种假想的计算机器，我们现在称之为图灵机。

He published an article describing a hypothetical machine called a Memex, which we discussed in Episode 24.

他发表了一篇文章，描述了一种名为 Memex 的假想机器，我们在第 24 集中讨论过。

Well, cheering shows that this simple hypothetical machine can perform any computation, if given enough time and memory.

好吧，欢呼表明，如果有足够的时间和内存，这个简单的假设机器可以执行任何计算。

In 1992, 1993, people were looking at these hypothetical machines based on the principles of quantum mechanics called quantum computers.

在 1992 年、1993 年， 人们正在研究这些基于量子力学原理的假想机器， 称为量子计算机。

Combined into highly efficient systems, or so-called  nano factories, these hypothetical machines could build almost anything, leading our  species into an era of radical abundance.

组合成高效系统或所谓的纳米工厂，这些假想的机器几乎可以建造任何东西，带领我们的物种进入一个极度丰富的时代。
