雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第8章:面朝大海(243)

It was a hard saying, for it meant that Keynes and Russell, Forster and Shaw, Orwell and G.H. Hardy all alike belonged in prison.

這是一種非常尖銳的說法，因爲這意味着，應該把凱恩斯、羅素、佛斯特、蕭伯納、奧威爾和哈代統統抓進監獄。

Like Einstein, they had permitted themselves to doubt the axioms, and even if they agreed to obey the rules, it had been their own choice so to do.

他們都像愛因斯坦一樣，不憚於懷疑公理，他們同意遵守規則，但要不要真的遵守，還要看他們內心的決定。

That very detachment, that sense of making a choice, was precisely what the ordered community would have to deny.

Yet English liberal writers had themselves admitted this logical conclusion, even though their culture, different in this respect from that of Germany, largely depended upon the blind eye being turned to such contradictions.

Keynes, for instance, had referred to the 'consequences of being found out' as having to be accepted.
