出處是《埃德蒙伯克名言》（Courtesy of Edmund Burke, 1790）
原文是：“ I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophists, economists and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is gone forever. ”其中calculators並非指計算機，而是說計算家。
因為首先十八世紀計算機這玩意還極其少見，更別說大量使用了。/view/3314.html?wtp=tt
其次，從並列的sophists, economists and calculators詞來看他們指的是同壹類事物，即同壹類人，即商品經濟社會所大量需要的詭辯家、經濟家和精於計算的人。
