I really miss that era, you know, where you could go around for a soiree and see a mechanical computer get demonstrated to you.  But Babbage, Babbage himself was born at the end of the 18th century, and was a fairly famous mathematician.
我非常想念那个时代,那时候你可以 去一个社交晚会，然后看到 一台机械电脑的演示.  不过巴贝奇是在18世纪末 出生的 还是个比较有名的数学家
