雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第8章:水銀延時線(132)
Alan sent off another routine, for factorising numbers, to Manchester on 2 august.
Then he went on holiday with Neville in Switzerland.
然後他與奈維爾一起到瑞士度假，It was the first escape from austerity England, and they could hardly believe the fresh country foods.
他們幾乎不敢相信，那裏食物竟然那麼新鮮。
The trip was made on the travel allowance of 25 pounds, in the form of five crisp five-pound notes.
這次旅行的資金，來自25英磅的旅遊補貼，是5張5英磅的鈔票，They did it by cycling and staying in youth hostels: they trod glaciers and scaled mountains and had the usual smouldering arguments of people on holiday together, as when Alan let his bicycle break down through inattention, or was keen on another young man in the hostel.
他們把它花在騎車兜風和住旅館。他們穿過河流，攀登高山，與其他度假者愉快地交談，圖靈還在旅館裏，對一個年輕男子產生了喜愛。It was not quite E.M. Forster's greenwood, but as near as he had ever approached it.
對圖靈來說，儘管這種生活還達不到佛斯特所說的"退隱山林"，但卻是最接近的。The summer continued with a week in the Lake District at Pigou's cottage, with Peter Matthews.
圖靈還與彼得·馬修斯一起，在庇古的湖區小木屋裏待了一個星期。Pigou was very keen on mountaineering, and even more, with a pre-Carpenter innocence, on Wilfrid Noyce the young mountaineer. Alan took care to practise rock-climbing on the King's College gate with Peter Matthews before they went.
庇古非常喜歡爬山，圖靈和彼得去之前，還特意在國王學院的大門上，認真地練了一陣子攀巖。Alan did some easy climbing, but mostly trotted round Buttermere in short shorts.
圖靈玩了一些簡單的攀巖，但大多數時間還是在繞着巴特米爾湖慢跑。
