Question

computation n.计算；估计；计算机的使用 (1) 加法和除法都是计算方法。(2) 粗略计算后可以看出我们无利可图。(3) 估计最少也值5000英镑。 People have invented all kinds of machines to help with computation, from the abacus to the computer, and, in fact, when computers were first invented (and when one computer could easily fill a large room), using a computer was called computation. Much of what made computers so revolutionary was that in a relatively short time they could do a complex mathematical computation that would take a human many lifetimes to do.

英 [ˌkɒmpju'teɪʃn] 美 [ˌkɑːmpju'teɪʃn] (1) Addition and division are forms of computation.(2) A quick computation revealed that we would not make a profit.(3) It will cost 5000 at the lowest computation. Computation is what you do when you calculate something, like a simple math problem or something involving quantum mechanics or — worse — even your taxes. 1[N-VAR 可变名词]计算 Computation is mathematical calculation. The discrepancies resulted from different methods of computation...这些差异是由不同的计算方法造成的。He took a few notes and made computations.他记了一点笔记，然后做了运算。
