雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第3章:思考什麼是思考(4)
… I am half sorry it is not to be the Clockhouse as I should like very much to see it and everything that Morcom has told me about there – but I don't get invited to go to Gibraltar every day of the week.
我很遺憾不是去鍾屋，我很想去那看看默卡告訴我的一切──但我被邀請去直布羅陀一星期。
On 21 March the Morcoms paid their farewell visit to Sherborne and Alan was allowed into Ross's house to see them in the evening. Term ended a week later and Alan went to Rock, on the north coast of Cornwall, with O'Hanlon, whose private income allowed him to treat groups of boys in this way. The party included the tough Ben Davis and three Westcott House boys, Hogg and Bennett and Carse. Alan wrote later to Blamey that he 'had a very good time there – plenty to eat and a pint of beer after lots of exercise.'
3月21日，默卡夫婦來到舍爾伯尼，艾倫在晚上時，到羅斯的房間去見了他們。放假後，艾倫和奧漢蘭一起到了考恩沃北海岸的羅克。這趟旅行是奧漢蘭自己掏錢的，同去的還有本·戴維斯和三個西科特學院的男孩：霍格，伯納特和卡斯。艾倫後來給布來梅寫信說：這裏很好，很鍛鍊人，還有大量好吃的和啤酒。
While he was away, Mrs Turing called on Mrs Morcom in her London flat. Mrs Morcom recorded in her diary (6 April):
圖靈夫人則前往倫敦拜訪了默卡夫人，默卡夫人在日記中寫道（4月6日）：
Mrs Turing came to see me at flat tonight. Had not met her before. We talked nearly all the time about Chris and she told me how much he had influenced Alan and how Alan thought he was still working with him and helping him. She stayed till nearly 11 and had to get back to Guildford. She had been to Bach Concert at Queens Hall.
圖靈夫人今晚到公寓來見我，我之前沒有見過她。我們幾乎一直在談論克里斯，她告訴我他對艾倫影響到什麼程度，還有艾倫對他的看法，他們一起工作，他幫助艾倫。她在這裏留到十一號，然後回到格爾福特，去看巴赫音樂會。
After ten days in Cornwall, Alan made a quick stop-over at Guildford, where Mrs Turing hastily tried to put him in order (extracting the usual quota of old handkerchieves from the lining of his overcoat), and on 11 April he arrived at Tilbury, joining the Morcom party on the Kaisar-i-Hind. Besides Colonel and Mrs Morcom, and Rupert, this included a director of Lloyds Bank and a Mr Evan Williams, chairman of Powell Dyffryn, the Welsh mining company. Mrs Morcom wrote in her diary:
在考恩沃的十天以後，艾倫在格爾福特的家中短暫休整了一下，圖靈夫人倉促地幫他收拾好，然後4月11日到達蒂爾伯裏，參加默卡家的聚會。除了默卡上校，默卡夫人，拉普特，還有洛伊茲銀行的主管，埃文·威廉斯先生，威爾士礦業公司的主度鮑威爾·蒂夫林。默卡夫人的日記中說：
… Sailed about noon. Wonderful day with bright sunshine until 3.30 when we began to come into mist and slowed down. Before tea we dropped anchor and remained just outside the mouth of the Thames until midnight. Ships all around us blowing fog-horns and sounding bells.… Rupert and Alan very excited about the fog and it really is rather alarming.
……中午我們划船。沐浴明媚的陽光，直到三點半，我們駛入薄霧，並放慢速度。我們吃茶前放了一次錨，並在午夜時到達泰晤士河的入海口。很多船舶在我們身邊吹響號角……拉普特和艾倫對霧很有興趣，霧確實是挺有意思的。
