interpreted code can be run directly from the text file it is stored in, while compiled code requires an extra step of reading that text file and turning it into a file that the computer can run.

A passable analogy might be that of working with a coworker from another country who doesn't understand your language. You need to give that person a set of tasks to perform but you need a third party to translate. In the "interpreted" scenario, you would tell the translator the first task, who then would translate it for your coworker, who would execute the task and then wait for your next command.

In the "compiled" scenario, you would work with the translator to translate all of your tasks into your coworkers language, and then hand the whole task list off to get done.
