Written using a defined vocabulary the programming language is either complied or interpreted by the computer into the machine language that is understood by the processor. There are several types of programming languages, the most common are: 高级语言——使用接近人类语言的短语、词汇和书写方式。之所以被称为高级语言，是因为它们去除了计算机所能理解的原始机器语言所包含的复杂性。高级语言相对于低级语言的主要优点是它们易于读写和维护。所有高级语言都要在某个阶段翻译成机器语言。最早的高级语言大约出现于20世纪50年代。现在有很多种高级语言，包括BASIC、COBOL、C、C++、FORTRAN和Pascal等。 High-level Languages—these are written using terms and vocabulary that can be understood and written in a similar manner to human language. [1] They are called high-level languages because they remove many of the complexities involved in the raw machine language that computers understand. The main advantage of high-level languages over low-level languages is that they are easier to read, write, and maintain. All high-level languages must be compiled at some stage into machine language. The first high-level programming languages were designed in the 1950s. Now there are dozens of different languages, including BASIC, COBOL, C, C++, FORTRAN and Pascal. 分析：本句是复合句。原因状语从句中的involved in the raw machin
