AML： ACPI Machine Language--ACPI 机器语言

API： Application Program Interface. Programmatic interfaces for the firmware (not Win32-type OS-level APIs).--应用程序接口。固件的编程接口（不是Win32类型操作系统级API）。

a priori file :A file with a known GUID that contains the list of DXE drivers that are loaded and executed in the listed order before any other DXE drivers are discovered.--具有已知GUID的文件，其中包含在发现任何其他DXE驱动程序之前按所列顺序加载和执行的DXE驱动程序列表。

A metasyntactic notation used to specify the syntax of programming languages, command sets, and the like BootDevice The device handle that corresponds to the device from which the currently executing image was loaded--巴科斯诺尔形态。一种元语法表示法，用于指定编程语言、命令集等的语法。BootDevice是一种设备句柄，对应于从中加载当前执行映像的设备

BootManager ：The part of the firmware implementation that is responsible for implementing system boot policy. Although a particular boot manager implementation is not specified in this document, such code is generally expected to be able to enumerate and handle transfers of control to the available OS loaders as well as EFI applications and drivers on a given system. The boot manager would typically be responsible for interacting with the system user, where applicable, to determine what to load during system startup. In cases where user interaction is not i
