It's a little bit like what happened when von Neumann and friends found the ENIAC, right?

这有点像冯·诺依曼和他的伙伴们发现ENIAC时的情景，对吧？

An early and practical approach was developed by J. Presper Eckert, as he was finishing work on ENIAC in 1944.

早在1944年，J. 帕斯珀·埃克特在完成ENIAC的工作时，就开发了一种早期且实用的方法。

After the war, Turing and John von Neumann designed the first true programmable electronic computer, ENIAC, based on Turing's designs.

战后，图灵和约翰·冯·诺依曼根据图灵的设计设计出了第一台真正意义上的可编程电子计算机 ENIAC。

Even the first electronic computers, like Colossus and ENIAC, were configured using huge panels of mechanical controls and patch wires.

即使是最早的电子计算机，萨斯和埃尼阿克，也是通过巨大的机械控制面板和补丁线来配置的。

Enter the The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator – or ENIAC – completed a few years later in 1946 at the University of Pennsylvania.

电子数值积分计算机 " ENIAC" 在 1946 年在宾夕法尼亚大完成建造。

They enabled huge ambitious computing projects to be undertaken, like ENIAC, EDVAC, Atlas and Whirlwind, all mentioned in previous episodes.

它们使得像埃尼阿克、埃德瓦克、阿特拉斯和旋风这样的大型雄心勃勃的计算项目得以实施，这些都在之前的节目中提到过。

But with that many vacuum tubes failures were common, and ENIAC was generally only operational for about half a day at a time before breaking down.

但由于真空管故障非常常见，ENIAC 每次故障前一般只能运行半天左右。

And they weren't all that fun either, computers like ENIAC were actually just giant calculators that help people solve really complicated math problems.

而且它们也不怎么有趣，像ENIAC计算机这样的机器实际上只是巨大的计算器， 帮助人们解决非常复杂的数问题。

Woz spent a lot of time at home reading his father's electronics journals, and he became enthralled by stories about new computers, such as the powerful ENIAC.

沃兹花了大量的时间在家阅读父亲的电子期刊，他着迷于关于新式计算机的那些故事，比强大的埃尼阿克（ENIAC)。

After working on ENIAC, Eckert and his colleague John Mauchly, set out to build a bigger and better computer called EDVAC, incorporating Delay Line Memory.

在ENIAC项目之后，埃克特和他的同事约翰·莫奇利着手建造一台更大更好的计算机EDVAC，这台计算机采用了延迟线存储器。

Yeah, the field's about as old as I am, so it's in the late 40s is the very, you know, the ENIAC and things like that.

是的， 这个领域和我一样老，所以它是在20世纪40年代末，那时候有ENIAC之类的计算机。

For example, the ENIAC, consisted of more than 17,000 vacuum tubes, 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, and 7,000 diodes, all of which required 5 million hand-soldered connections.

例，ENIAC由超过17000根真空管、70000个电阻器、10000个电容器和7000个二极管组成，所有这些都需要进行5百万个手工焊接连接。

In the 1970s,   the patent for the ENIAC technology entered the public domain, and it was able to be modified,   becoming the blueprint for modern computers.

20世纪70年代，ENIAC技术的专利进入公共领域，并且可以进行修改，成为现代计算机的蓝图。

But there was a problem… In the era of one-off computers, like the Harvard Mark 1 or ENIAC, programmers only had to write code for that one single machine.

但是有一个问题… … 在一次性计算机的时代，比哈佛马克1号或埃尼阿克，程序员只需要为那一台特定的机器编写代码。
