双语畅销书《艾伦图灵传》第8章:面朝大海(152)

After three weeks, on 27 February, Alan and Arnold both appeared in the Wilmslow magistrates' court for the committal proceedings.

三个星期后，2月27日，图灵和阿诺德到威姆斯洛地方法院出席听证会。

The CID officer, Mr Wills, described the circumstances of the arrests, and read out the statements in full.

刑事侦查局的威尔斯描述了详细的逮捕细节，并宣读了完整的调查陈述。

There was another prosecution witness: Alan's bank manager, whose ledgers corroborated the detail of the ￡7 cheque.

图灵的银行经理作为证人，提交了关于7英镑支票的一些证据。

There was no cross-examination. Alan's solicitor 'reserved his defence', and obtained his release on ￡50 bail.

图灵并未受到交叉审讯，他的律师为他保留了辩护权，并以50英镑把他保释在外。

Arnold, however, was held in custody pending the trial proper, to be held at the forthcoming Quarter Sessions.

但阿诺德则不一样，他要一直待在看守所，直到开庭审理。

The local newspaper5 reported the court appearance and the gist of the story.

当地报纸随后报道了听证情况和整个事件的要点，

They printed both men's full addresses, in the usual way, and a photograph of Alan.

还刊登了两人的地址，以及一张图灵的照片。

The case was not taken up in the Manchester papers, but there was certainly a possibility of the forthcoming trial being reported widely.

当然，对图灵来说，上报纸并不新鲜。这件报道本身，并未占据很大篇幅，但是谁也没法估计，这会进一步地导致什么。
