John Mauchly 与 Presper Eckert 设计并制造了世界上第一台电子数字计算机。他们历时三年研制出传奇的 ENIAC，以及长达三十年争取应得名誉的抗争故事从未被完整披露过，那是一段交织着绝世才华与厄运坎坷的动人史诗。Mauchly 与 Eckert 于 1941 年偶然结识于 University of Pennsylvania 的 Moore School of Engineering。不久之后，他们便提出了一个革命性的构想：利用电能作为计算手段——换言之，就是让电拥有“思考”的能力。虽然起初受到同事的忽视，但在 1943 年初，他们机缘巧合地被

……额，其实他是在自己名下描述了埃克特（Eckert）和毛奇利（Mauchly）早已搞出来的设计，而且这篇论文是被非法泄露的。对这事以及 ENIAC 其他引人入胜的八卦感兴趣的人，可以看看这本好书：https://www.amazon.com/Eniac-Triumphs-Tragedies-Worlds-Compu... 另外 Jean Bartik 的书评也很值得一读（在这里 https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3K2DSB6UE1X7H/re...）……
…Well, he actually described an already existing design by Eckert and Mauchly under his name and this paper was illegally disclosed. For the ones interested in this and other fascinating stories about ENIAC, here is a good book: https://www.amazon.com/Eniac-Triumphs-Tragedies-Worlds-Compu... worth reading is also the review by Jean Bartik (here https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3K2DSB6UE1X7H/re...)…
每当有人提起冯·诺依曼那篇 EDVAC 论文，我觉得都应该指路一下这本书，它还原了被我们错误地称为“冯·诺依曼架构”背后的真实背景：https://www.amazon.com/Eniac-Triumphs-Tragedies-Worlds-Compu...
Whenever the von Neumann EDVAC paper is mentioned, I feel it is rightful to point people to the book that gives proper backround to what we incorrectly call von Neumann architecture: https://www.amazon.com/Eniac-Triumphs-Tragedies-Worlds-Compu...
想了解更多的话，我推荐 Scott McCartney 写的《Eniac: The Triumphs and Tragedies of the World's First Computer》。我几年前读过，觉得引人入胜。记不清里面提了多少楚泽（Zuse）的事，但关于……写了很多。
For more on this, I recommend "Eniac: The Triumphs and Tragedies of the World's First Computer" by Scott McCartney. I read it a few years ago and found it fascinating. I don't remember how much it gets into Zuse, but it has a lot about the…
没错！在计算机史上这算是一个相当大的争议，读起来非常过瘾。《ENIAC》（ISBN 978-0802713483）就是一本包含这段历史的好书。我不得不怀疑，在针对这帮大佬的各种神化造神运动中，还有多少事实被抹杀了。
Yes! It’s a pretty big controversy so far as computing goes and a very interesting read. ENIAC (ISBN 978-0802713483) is a good account that includes it. I have to wonder what else gets washed away in all the myth-making about these guys.
