雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第8章:面朝大海(158)

There was also his connection with King's to consider, but here an odd coincidence came into play.

另外要考慮的，是國王學院方面。

His fellowship was due to expire on 13 March 1952, so although he had been arrested a Fellow, he would no longer be one at his trial.

巧合的是，圖靈在那的任期是到1952年3月13日，也就是說，他被逮捕時還是研究員，但審判時卻不是了。

Alan consulted with Philip Hall regarding his position, and he in turn talked with Professor Adcock.

圖靈向菲利浦·霍爾諮詢這個問題，菲利浦與艾德考克教授商量了下。

They advised him not to resign, and in fact the fellowship simply ended at its appointed time, after a total of nine years spread over the past seventeen.

然後他們建議圖靈，不必主動提出辭職，他的職位到時候會自動終止。17年韶華，彈指間就結束了。

He had no reason to feel cut off from King's because he had been found out; Cambridge could remain a point of security and support for him.

當然，圖靈認爲沒有理由因爲被捕就與國王學院切斷聯繫，畢竟這裏還可以爲他提供一些保護和支持。

There was another point of support in the reaction of his good neighbours the Webbs.

爲他提供支持的，還有他的好鄰居韋伯一家。

Although upset by what had transpired, the Webbs still made him welcome in their home.

雖然他們對這件事感到很不舒服，但仍然很歡迎圖靈。
