双语畅销书《艾伦图灵传》第8章:面朝大海(209)

The probation period ended in April 1953. For the past three months they had put an implant of hormone into his thigh, instead of the dosage of pills.

1953年4月，缓刑期结束了。在最后的3个月，他们在图灵的大腿里，植入了一个激素植入体，取代了口服药物。

Suspecting, with some annoyance, that the effect would last more than three months, he had it taken out.

缓刑结束后，植入体被取了出来，图灵颇为恼火地认为，其作用还会持续很长时间。

Then he was free, the more so because his future at Manchester was secure.

但不管怎么说，他现在自由了，更重要的是，他还保住了自己在曼彻斯特的未来。

On 15 May 1953 the University Council formAlly voted to appoint him to a specially created Readership in the Theory of Computing when the five years of the old position ran out on 29 September.

1953年5月15日，大学委员会进行正式投票，任命他为计算机理论教授，从9月29日，即他原有的五年任期结束后开始生效。

This he could reasonably expect to last for ten years, if he wanted it.

如果图灵愿意的话，至少在10年之内，他都可以一直拥有这个职位。

In this respect, his insouciant 'Pooh!' to Don Bayley had been justified: he had a small pay rise, and freedom to work exactly as he chose.

从这个角度来说，他对唐·贝利的那一声轻蔑的"哼"是很好理解的，因为他的薪水又涨了，他可以自由地做任何他想做的事。

On 10 May Alan sent a letter to Maria Greenbaum, describing a complete solution to a solitaire puzzle, and ending:

5月10日，图灵给玛利亚写信，给她讲了一个扑克迷题的完整解法，并在结尾写道：

I hope you all have a very nice holiday in Italian Switzerland.

祝你们在瑞士度假愉快。

I shall not be very far away at Club Mediterranee, Ipsos-Corfu, Greece. Yours, Alan Turing.

如果没有意外，我将会去希腊科孚岛的地中海俱乐部。你的朋友，图灵。
