雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第5章:解謎接力賽(75)
In August or September 1940 Alan had a week's holiday, and spent it with Bob, making an effort to give the boy a treat.
He had arranged for them to stay at what was for Alan a smart hotel, a renovated castle near Pandy, in Wales.
艾倫安排他們住在一個很好的旅店，這是威爾士的一坐城堡。It had been the usual hell for Bob in his first term, but, like Alan, he had survived the year, and at least had not encountered the usual public school anti-semitism.
對於鮑博來說，第一個學期不出所料就像地獄一樣，但他和艾倫一樣，堅強地挺過來了，而且至少沒有遇到一般公學都有的反猶太主義。
Alan asked a little about the past, and his family, but it was impossible to chat, for Bob had cast out the past as best he could, and Alan had no ability to heal such wounds.
艾倫問了一些他的過去和家庭，但他們無法聊起來，因爲鮑博想要盡力地忘掉過去，而艾倫沒有能力治癒他的悲傷。In fact, he probably never knew of the scenes which had taken place in Manchester as Bob pleaded unsuccessfully with the H–––– family to rescue his mother from Vienna.
實際上，他可能永遠不知道在曼徹斯特發生的一幕：鮑博哀求磨坊主把他的母親從維也納救出來，但他們卻無能爲力。They went fishing and for long walks over the hills.
他們一起釣魚，在小丘上散步。After a day or two Alan made a gentle sexual approach, but Bob rebuffed it.
過了一兩天，艾倫委婉地提出了性要求，但鮑博立即粗暴地拒絕了。Alan did not ask again. It did not affect the holiday.
艾倫沒有再提，這也並沒有影響度假。Bob perceived that the possibility had been at the back of Alan's mind from the beginning, but did not feel that Alan had taken advantage of him. He was simply not interested.
鮑博意識到，艾倫心裏可能從一開始就藏有這個企圖，但他並沒覺得艾倫是在利用他，他只是對此不感興趣而已。
