Here is my effort to translate using input Smilie
Lines of input are enumerated to for easier grasp and are not in actual file / input the program is processing.
Code:
#
# Condition construct is met on line 1
# LAST2 is empty, LAST1 is defined as current processing line, or $0
#

1 a

#
# Condition construct is met on line 2
# LAST2 is defined as LAST1 (previous line), LAST1 as current processing line, or $0
# We do that till line 6, since condition is met, replacing the values of LAST1 / LAST2 accordingly.
#

2 b
3 c
4 d
5 e
6 f

#
# In this moment, on line 7, value of LAST1 is "f", while LAST2 is "e".
# Condition construct is not met for lines 7 to 10.
# LAST1/LAST2 do not change, nor those lines will be in output
#

7 e
8 f
9 e
10 f

#
# On line 11 LAST1 or LAST2 condition construct is met again.
# LAST2 is declared as "f", and LAST1 as "a" or $0 or current processing line
# The program continues to operate as above.
#

11 a
12 b
13 c
14 d
15 e
16 f

Hopefully that is correct.
Regards
Peasant.
