A problem solver with little or no knowledge of computers or programming can learn to write BASIC programs at a remote terminal or mircrocomputer keyboard in a short period of time.
一個要解決問題的人，無論有沒有計算機或者編程知識，都能用很短的時間在遠程終端或計算機鍵盤上編寫BASIC語言程序。
It is also easy to insert changes and additions into a BASIC program
在BASIC程序中插入修改也是很容易的。
BASIC is now by far the most popular high-level language used in microcomputer system.
目前，BASIC是微機系統中最為通用的一種高級程序語言。
Interpreters are generally used in microcomputer systems to translate BASIC instructions into machine-langage code.
解釋程序通常在微機系統中用來把BASIC指令翻譯成機器代碼。
FORTRAN ( Formula translator) is a popular language for mathematical and scientific computation.
FORTRAN在數學和科學計算中是一種普遍使用的語言。
Its numerical abilities are strong( particularly its ability to handle complex numbers) although it is weak in handling character strings .It is of moderate difficulty to learn and use.
它的數值處理能力很強（尤其是處理復數的能力），不過處理字符串的能力較弱，學習和使用這種語言的難度適中。
BASIC is widely used in today's microcomputer systems.
BASIC泛用于當今的微機系統中。
BASIC was originally designed as a teaching language loosely based on FORTRAN and is simple to learn.
它最初被設計成一種教學語言，在大體上以FORTRAN為基礎簡單易學。
However ,its capabilities are limited compared to most other high-level languages.
然而，與大多數其它高級語言相比較，它處理能力是有限的。
The higher language goes by different names.
各種高級語言可依據不同的名字來區分。
FORTRAN(FORmula TRANslation) was the first.
FORTRAN（公式翻譯）是最早出現的高級語言，
and nwo we also have ALGOL (algorithmic Language)
目前，我們還有ALGOL（算法語言），
BASIC ( Beginner's ALL-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code)
BASIC（初學者通用符號指令代碼），
COBOL ( Common Business Oriented Language)
COBOL（面向公共商業的語言），
LISP(LIST Processing) PASCAL and ADA ( named after Ada Lovelace Charles Babbage's assistant)
LISP（表處理），PASCAL及ADA（以查爾斯·巴貝奇的助手Ada· Lovelace之名而定名）。
Each has been designed to meet a particular purpose;
每一種語言都被設計用來滿足特定的目的：
FORTRAN, PASCAL ,ALGOL and BASIC are mathematically oriented.
FORTRAN、PASCAL、ALGOL和BASIC都是面向數學計算的。
COBOL is used for commercial purposes.
COBOL則用于商業。
