计算机先驱,机械计算贡献者
英国工程师,发明了差分机和分析机,被认为是计算机的先驱,对机械计算有重大贡献。
In mathematical science, more than in all others, it happens that truths which are at one time the most abstract, and apparently the most remote from all useful application, become in the next age the bases of profound physical inquiries, and at length find their embodiment in some practical invention.
在数学科学中,比其他任何学科都更常见的是,那些一度最抽象、似乎远离一切实际应用的真理,在下一个时代会成为深刻物理研究的基础,并最终体现在某些实用发明中。

The public character of every public servant is legitimate subject of discussion, and his fitness or unfitness for office may be fairly canvassed by any person.
每个公务员的公共品格都是讨论的合法主题,任何人均可公正地评判其是否适合担任公职。

The first step is to measure whatever can be easily measured. This is OK as far as it goes. The second step is to disregard that which can’t be measured or give it an arbitrary quantitative value. This is artificial and misleading. The third step is to presume that what can’t be measured easily isn’t very important. This is blindness. The fourth step is to say that what can’t be easily measured really doesn’t exist. This is suicide.
第一步是测量任何容易测量的东西。这本身没有问题。第二步是忽视无法测量的东西或给它一个任意的数值。这是人为且误导的。第三步是假设不容易测量的东西不太重要。这是盲目。第四步是说不能轻易测量的东西实际上不存在。这是自杀。

At each increase of knowledge, as well as on the contrivance of every new tool, human labour becomes abridged.
随着知识的每一次增长,以及每一种新工具的发明,人类的劳动都会得到简化。

The errors which arise from the absence of facts are far more numerous and more durable than those which result from unsound reasoning respecting true data.
由于缺乏事实而产生的错误,远比基于真实数据但推理不当所产生的错误更多且更持久。
