I can so well remember him using it.

我很清楚地記得，他使用這支鋼筆的樣子。

But if he was twenty, and preparing to confront the work of European mathematicians, he was still a boy away from home, away from Sherborne.

但是，如果他在20歲的時候，看到那些歐洲數學家的新理論，他也一定同樣像個剛離開舍爾伯尼，剛離開家的孩子。

The summer holidays were spent much as those of the previous year.

我的暑假過得跟以前差不多。

Yours affectionately, Alan ng

你摯愛的艾倫.圖靈

Alan had another holiday camping with John in Ireland, where he amazed his family by turning up at Cork in a pig-boat.

艾倫和約翰在愛爾蘭度過另一個假期，在那裏，他的家人乘着潛艇出現在考克，令艾倫很吃驚。

Then for the first two weeks of September he joined O'Hanlon for a second and last time on Sark.

9月的前兩個星期，他跟奧漢蘭一起在薩克度過，這是他們第二次在一起度假，也是最後一次。

Alan had taken some fruit-flies with him, as he was studying genetics in a rather haphazard way.

艾倫帶了一些果蠅，因爲他正在業餘時間研究遺傳學。

Back at Guildford the Drosophilae escaped and infested the Turing home for weeks, not at all to Mrs Turing's pleasure.

在格爾福特時，果蠅逃跑了，在屋子裏嗡嗡飛好幾個星期，讓圖靈一家人非常惱火。
