should be just enough to make sure it's accepted

应该确保对方能够接受
knowing that the person who's receiving the offer in the first round

要让对手在第一轮就接受条件
is going to think about the offer they're going to make

同时要想参与人2在第二轮给与的条件
in the second round, and they're going to think about whether

因为对手也会考虑到在第二轮博弈中
you're going to accept or reject in the second round, is that right?

你到底是接受还是拒绝对么
So that sounds like a bit of a mouthful

听上去有些绕
but that mouthful of reasoning is exactly backward induction.

但这就是逆向归纳法的运用
It's exactly backward induction.

这就叫逆向归纳法
It's saying: to figure out what I should do in the first round

就是要知道第一轮该怎么做
or what I should offer in the first round,

或者第一轮该给出什么条件
I need to figure out whether Player 2 is going to accept or reject.

我需要知道参与人2接受与否
And to figure out whether he or she is going to accept or reject,

要知道他是否会接受
