Well I have to go to the zero-th element, and say OK, gee, to get to the next element, I've got to jump this here. And to get to the next element, I've got to jump to here, and to get to the next element, I've got to jump to here, until I get there.

再回到第0个元素，好的，然后找下一个元素，跳转到这里，然后再下一个元素，跳到了这里,然后再下一个元素,直到我找到那个元素,这样，我有方法来保存变长的元素。
