a small number of words

I'm going to try and introduce a large topic in a small number of words, which might be difficult, but I think it's an important topic to mention.

我将尽力用少量的文字来阐述一个很大的话题，这可能会很难，但我认为这非常重要。

While only a small portion of the world's languages are anumeric or nearly anumeric, they demonstrate that number words are not a human universal.

虽然世界上只有一小部分语言是没有或几乎没有数词的，但它们表明，数词并非是全人类通用的。

In other words, objects with a small number of methods that have many arguments will typically outperform objects that have many properties and methods with few arguments.

换句话说，对象包含少量含较多参数的方法通常比对象包含很多属性和含较少参数的方法更有效。
