雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第8章:水銀延時線(56)
Although the wartime spirit lived on amongst the huts and bombsites of 1946, the ACE section did not flower with the camaraderie of Hut 8, or the quite remarkable rapport that Alan had established with Don Bayley.
Mike Woodger came back from sick leave in September and found a note on his desk asking him to program BURY and UNBURY.
麥克·伍格9月病假歸來後，在他的桌子上看到一張便條，要求他編寫BURY和UNBURY程序。The relationship continued in this master-and-servant way.
從此，他們就形成了這種老大和跟班的關係。
Alan liked the earnest, rather nervous Mike Woodger, and tried to be kind, but hid it under what appeared as an abrupt, rather frightening manner.
圖靈很喜歡這位熱心的有點神經質的麥克·伍格，並且盡力地表現出友好，但這卻被他唐突的、令人害怕的行爲所掩蓋了。He probably did not realise the awe with which he was regarded by young people like Mike Woodger, just starting on a career.
也許圖靈自己沒有意識到，像麥克·伍格這樣的剛剛參加工作的人，內心都會有一種畏懼感。He was impatient of slowness, and could not use his imagination to make communication more effective.
圖靈對緩慢很缺乏耐心，但又不懂得如何正確地提高溝通效率。Jim Wilkinson was older and more experienced than Mike Woodger, but he too found many days when it was better to keep out of the way of the now somewhat isolated 'creative anarchy' that was Alan Turing.
威爾金森比麥克·伍格資歷更深，年紀也更大，但是他太專注於自己的工作，以至於冷落了圖靈。'Likeable, almost lovable some days depressed', he appeared; his mercurial temperament and his emotional attitude to his work showing clearly.
他是一個"可親，可愛……但有時很頹廢"的人，他的情緒變化就像它研究的水銀一樣起伏明顯。It was at about this time that Alan got the long-promised promotion to Senior Principal Scientific Officer, and he took Jim Wilkinson and Leslie Fox from Goodwin's department out to a celebration dinner in London.
大概就在這個時候，圖靈獲得了期待已久的資深首席科學官職位，他帶着威爾金森，還有古德溫部門的萊斯理·福克斯，一起去倫敦的一家餐廳吃慶功宴。The train journey was spoilt by a sultry row over some mathematics, and then, as they arrived at Waterloo, the clouds cleared and he was buoyant again.
在火車上，他們爲一個數學問題爭論得面紅耳赤，而當抵達滑鐵盧時，天空中烏雲散去，他們的心情也頓時輕快起來。
