ELECTRONIC COMPUTER台 灣政府及學術界共同認定正式的名稱為 "電子計算機" 如 "電子計算機統一發票" "國立台灣大學電子計算機中心" "電子計算機概論" 當然 也有簡稱 計算機 者 但一般稱 "計算機" 若非特意指 電子計算機 者 係指 CALCULATOR 電子計算機 俗稱 電腦 應用於口語 及非正式文件中 電腦 是 相對應於 人腦 的新興詞彙 較 電子計算機 一詞 簡明 易懂

在口语常用＂电脑＂

電腦- used in Taiwan 計算機- used in China (Calculator = 計算機 in Taiwan)

"电脑" is often used in daily talk, "计算机" is more likely to be used as a technique word. When it comes with complicated things or professional terms that computer experts talk about it should be "计算机". Other words, if I know it is talking about computer but don't exactly know what it is talking about, then it is 计算机. For explame: "Scientists see such DNA computers as future competitors to their more conventional cousins because miniaturization is reaching its limits and DNA has the potential to be much faster than conventional computers." 科学家认为,由于"计算机"的缩微技术已达极限,而dna"计算机"具有较传统"计算机"运行速度更快的优势,因此,dna"计算机"是对传统计算机的一个挑战。

The favoured term for computer,in this place,it means"计算机"。trust ME!
