双语畅销书《艾伦图灵传》第9章:退隐山林(116)
The broadcast went out on 14 January, by which time Arnold had made his second visit to Alan's home, and events had taken a more serious turn.
这场节目在1月14日正式播出，那一天，阿诺德第二次去图灵家，故事变得不一样了。
Alan had arranged matters so as to cast the relationship as an 'affair', which meant that Arnold had arrived as a dinner guest, and expected to stay the night.
这次图灵安排好了一切，阿诺德作为晚餐的客人，并被留宿一晚。
Arnold responded warmly to what was for him the palatial circumstances of Hollymeade, it being particularly striking, for instance, that Alan employed a housekeeper.
他很喜欢对他来说很豪华的冬青居，并且他很惊讶，图灵竟然还雇了一位佣人。
He was with the masters now, not the did not have much in common to talk about, but found links, in such a way that Arnold was highly conscious of Alan's need to communicate and reach a fresh mind.
他现在是主人了，不再是服务者。他们之间没有什么共同话题，但是阿诺德准确地掌握了图灵的聊兴。
Neither thought much of the American interference with the British attempt to oust Mossadeq in ld had great local patriotism and disliked the USAF bases still dominating parts of Cheshire.
阿诺德有强烈的狭隘爱国主义情结，他反对美国空军基地占据柴郡的部分地区。
Besides current affairs Alan also talked about astronomy, played a tune on the violin, and let Arnold have a try.
除了时政之外，他们还聊天文学和小提琴，图灵演奏了一曲，并让阿诺德也试试。
After dinner, rather the better for wine, and lying on the rug, Arnold began telling Alan about his recurrent childhood dream, or nightmare rather, in which he felt himself suspended in absolutely empty space while a strange noise would start, growing ever louder, until he woke up in a sweat.
晚饭后，他们愉快地喝了点酒，然后一起躺在毯子上，阿诺德给他讲他做的梦，关于童年的梦，还有噩梦，他在梦中觉得自己浮在空中，然后听到越来越大的奇怪声响，吓得猛然惊醒，浑身冷汗。
Alan asked what kind of noise it was, but Arnold could not describe it.
图灵问他，那是什么样的声音，阿诺德无法形容。
