雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第9章:退隱山林(119)
'Whatever you think, is,' said Alan at one point, and this meant a lot to Arnold, who had his own dreams that he wanted to come true.
"有志者，事一定能成。"圖靈說。這對阿諾德是莫大的鼓勵。他有自己的夢想，他想讓自己的夢想成真。
Alan felt frustrated because he could not better communicate his ideas: 'There's got to be more to it than this level,' he told Arnold, almost in anger, adding with great emphasis 'I've got to teach you, take you out of all this.'
圖靈覺得很沮喪，因爲他話到嘴邊，卻不知道該怎麼表達，他憋得滿臉通紅，告訴阿諾德："一切都會變好，我會幫你走出來。"
Dear love of comrades!—in 1891 Edward Carpenter had met his George Merrill, a working man of twenty; it began just like this, and continued for thirty years.
這是同志間珍貴的愛啊！——1891年，愛德華·卡本特邂逅了他的喬治·米瑞爾，他就這樣開始，與這個20歲的工人一起，生活了30年。
Alan made it clear that he wanted them to sleep together as lovers, and this they did.
圖靈很明確地提出，想與阿諾德過夜，於是他們就過夜了。
In the morning Alan got up and made the breakfast, after which they talked and smoked and prolonged the pleasure of the night.
第二天清晨，圖靈起牀料理早餐，用完早餐後，他們就在一起聊天、吸菸，回味這一宵的歡愉。
They arranged for another visit in two weeks' time. One subject was not, however, discussed as it might have been. This was the question of money.
他們商量好，兩星期後再見面。但他們少做了一件事，那就是錢。
It was as obvious that Arnold was short of it as it was clear that Alan had more than he needed.
很顯然，阿諾德缺錢，同樣顯然，圖靈有錢。
Alan was going to do the expected thing, and was perhaps surprised when Arnold declined the offer. The underlying difficulty was that Arnold jibbed at a direct payment, which threatened to label him as 'a renter'.
圖靈本來要掏錢給阿諾德，但是阿諾德拒絕了，他不想如此直接，因爲這將給他貼上"賣"的標籤。
Alan, in contrast, was highly uncomfortable about conventional social manoeuvres, whether in his mother's drawing room or in his own bedroom.
圖靈對他這種傳統觀念頗爲不爽。
