雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第7章:運轉起來(33)
Alan came in most mornings on his bicycle—sometimes in pouring rain, of which he appeared oblivious.
He had been offered the use of an official car to take him to and fro, but declined it, preferring the use of his own motive power.
他拒絕專車接送，他喜歡依靠自己的力量。Once, very unusually, he was late in, and even more dishevelled than usual.
有一天，太陽從西邊出來了——圖靈遲到了，而且衣着比平時更加凌亂不堪。
As explanation he produced a grubby wad of 200 pounds in notes, explaining that he had dug them up out of their hiding-place in a wood and that there were two silver bars still to be recovered.
他在解釋的時候，拿出一疊200英磅鈔票，說是在樹樁中挖出來的，而兩塊銀錠還是沒有找到。But late in the summer, as the bridgehead was finally established and the Allied armies swept their way across France,
夏末，同盟軍建好了橋頭堡，開始在法國掃路。he gave up his lodgings with Mrs Ramshaw at the Crown Inn, and moved to the Officers' Mess at Hanslope Park.
艾倫離開了王冠旅店，搬進了漢斯洛普莊園的軍官中心。At first he occupied a room on the top floor of the mansion (he had one to himself, enjoying a rather more privileged status than the junior officers), and then later moved into a cottage in the walled kitchen garden, which he shared with Robin Gandy and a large tabby cat.
一開始他住在頂層（他一個人住單間，其他初級官員並無這種待遇），後來搬到了花園裏的一間小屋，和羅賓·甘迪以及一隻虎斑貓一起生活。The cat was called Timothy, and had been brought to Hanslope by Robin on his return from staying with friends in London.
這隻貓的名字叫提摩西，是羅賓從倫敦朋友那裏帶回來的。Alan was well-disposed towards Timothy, even though (or perhaps because) it had a way of launching playful swats at the typewriter keys when he was at work.
圖靈對提摩西很友好，儘管（也或許是因爲）在他工作的時候，它會爬上打字機的鍵盤亂敲一氣。
