fix a missed sentence and paragraph
The order of expansions is: brace expansion; tilde expansion, parameter and variable expansion, arithmetic expansion, and command substitution (done in a left-to-right fashion); word splitting; and filename expansion. (For example, a range like {1..20} cannot be expressed with variables using {$a..$b}. Use seq or a for loop instead, e.g., seq $a $b or for((i=a; i<=b; i++)); do ... ; done.)
Brace expansion is performed before any other expansion.
A sentence and paragraph do not have translated text.
