雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第8章:面朝大海(285)
This complex and contradictory future, rather than a 1930s vision of scientifically planned industry, or a 1950s fantasy of scientific mind-control, was the achievement of the new men.
未來既不是30年代預想的計劃工業，也沒有50年代幻想的思維控制術，未來是屬於新人類的。
The old moral and social institutions, while persisting in form, would lose their absoluteness and all-embracing significance; even a bishop would soon be borrowing Carpenter's phrase and preaching a 'New Morality'.
舊的道德和社會體制，儘管表面上反對，但卻心有餘而力不足了。不久之後，有一位主教借用卡本特的話，開始宣講"新道德"。
The lesson of the public schools, and of the no less grim training grounds of the lower orders, had been outdated in the 1920s and proved quite useless in crucial aspects of the Second World War, a fact learnt so reluctantly and so late.
公學教育體制在20年代就已經過時了，二戰徹底證明了這種體制毫無益處，這個遲到的事實，終於被人們艱難地接受了。
Alan Turing's split state prefigured the pattern of growth that he did not choose to live to see: a civilisation where the singing and dancing and mating—and the thinking about numbers—would be offered to a wider class, but one built around, and working to provide, methods and machines of inconceivable danger.
圖靈也許能夠預見這樣的場景，但他卻沒有活着看到這一天：各個階級都表現出多元的新文化，唱歌、跳舞、性交、思考，當然還有研製更加強大而危險的機器。
And in his very silence, he typified the mainstream of scientific collaboration in this policy.
人們不再盲目地猜疑科學家們會背叛國家，那隻不過是安全部門新官上任三把火罷了。
Who could see that in fact he had torn the curtain away and shown the fragile, erratic, embarrassing brain that lay behind the machine? For unlike Dorothy, he said not a word.
可是又有誰，能去揭開那層帷幕，看一眼躲在機器背後的，那顆脆弱的、羞澀的、古怪的大腦？圖靈畢竟還不是桃樂絲，他連一個字都沒有多說過。
He was no heretic: this was camouflage, although perhaps even he, who so rarely broke his promises, only just restrained himself at the end. Within his sphere he was the grand master; politically he was as he described himself in 1941: Churchill's obedient servant.
他也不是真正的異端，這只是個面具，也許他只是在最後關頭剋制了衝動，但他確實把他的承諾守到了生命的盡頭。在他自己的世界裏，他是偉大的主宰者，但在政治的世界裏，他卻正如他1941年在信中的落款：永遠效忠於丘吉爾的奴僕。
