艾达·洛夫莱斯(Ada Lovelace)名言

I shall, in due time, be a Poet.

我将在适当时候成为一名诗人。

艾达·洛夫莱斯

A new, a vast, and a powerful language is developed for the future use of analysis, in which to wield its truths so that these may become of more speedy and accurate practical application for the purposes of mankind than the means hitherto in our possession have rendered possible.

开发了一种新的，广泛而强大的语言以供将来分析之用，在其中可以运用其真理，以便与人类迄今拥有的手段相比，这些真理对于人类而言可以更迅速，更准确地在实践中应用。

艾达·洛夫莱斯

I believe myself to possess a most singular combination of qualities exactly fitted to make me pre-eminently a discoverer of the hidden realities of nature.

我相信自己拥有最独特的品质组合，这些品质恰到好处地使我成为发现自然隐藏现实的杰出者。

艾达·洛夫莱斯

The science of operations, as derived from mathematics more especially, is a science of itself, and has its own abstract truth and value.

特别是从数学派生出来的运算科学，本身就是一门科学，并且具有自己的抽象真理和价值。

艾达·洛夫莱斯

The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform... But it is likely to exert an indirect and reciprocal influence on science itself.

分析引擎没有任何假说来产生任何东西。它可以做我们知道如何订购的任何事情。。。但是它很可能对科学本身产生间接和相互的影响。

艾达·洛夫莱斯

Mathematical science shows what is. It is the language of unseen relations between things. But to use and apply that language, we must be able fully to appreciate, to feel, to seize the unseen, the unconscious.

数学科学表明了什么。这是事物之间看不见的关系的语言。但是要使用和运用这种语言，我们必须能够完全欣赏，感觉，抓住看不见的潜意识。

艾达·洛夫莱斯

That brain of mine is something more than merely mortal, as time will show.

时间会证明，我的大脑不仅仅是凡人。

艾达·洛夫莱斯

Those who have learned to walk on the threshold of the unknown worlds, by means of what are commonly termed par excellence the exact sciences, may then, with the fair white wings of imagination, hope to soar further into the unexplored amidst which we live.

那些已经学会了走在未知世界的门槛上的人们，通过通常被称为卓越的精确科学的手段，可能会凭借想象力的白皙翅膀，希望进一步跃入我们所居住的未开发的世界。
