她把它拿给巴贝奇看 然后说：“我难道不能写得比这更好吗？”

But, in 1991, historians finished constructing a Difference Engine based on Babbage's drawings and writings - and it worked!

然而，在1991年 历史据Charles Babbage的草稿建成了一个差分 而且它能正常使用！

The Analytical Engine would inspire, arguably, the first generation of computer scientists, who incorporated many of Babbage's ideas in their machines.

分析将会激励（可以这么讲）第一代计算科，这些计算科将许多Charles Babbage的想法纳入他的器。

But more importantly, during construction of the Difference Engine, Babbage imagined an even more complex machine - the Analytical Engine.

但更重要的是，在差分的建造期间 Charles Babbage想象了一个更复杂的器 - 分析。

The idea of some kind of visual persistence goes back long before Babbage's dinner party, even to ancient Greece and Egypt.

我站在巨人的肩膀上，如巴贝奇和洛夫莱斯、霍勒瑞斯和图灵、埃克特和霍珀、萨瑟兰和恩格尔巴特、布什和伯纳斯李、盖茨和沃兹，以及许多其他计算先驱。
