The Census bureau turned to Herman Hollerith, who had built a tabulating machine.

人口普查局找到了Herman Hollerith，他发明了打孔卡片制表机。

It is important to note here that early tabulating machines were not truly computers as they can only do one thing-tabulate.

这里需要注意的是，早期的制表机并不是真正的计算机，因为它们只能做一件事——制表。

The controlled circuit can then connect to other circuits, or to something like a motor, which might increment a count on a gear, like in Hollerith's tabulating machine we talked about last episode.

然后受控制的电路就可以连到其他电路，或者是连电动机之类的东西，它可以增加齿轮的计数，就像上集 Hollerith 的制表机一样。

When a card was fed into the tabulating machine, a hole would cause the running total for that specific answer to be increased by one.

当一张卡片被送入制表机时，一个洞会导致该特定答案的运行总数增加一个。
