There's a context to your question I don't understand, so let me ask:

Wouldn't it be easier to break a big step into smaller baby steps?

Hello,

I know nothing about compilers and interpreters. I checked several
books, but none of them explained why we have to translate a
high-level language into a small (core) language. Is it impossible
(very hard) to directly translate high-level language into machine
code?
