雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第4章:彼岸新星(11)
Alan also paid a visit to the Clock House before going out west, the first for three years.
Mrs Morcom was now semi-invalid, but still mentally as vigorous as ever. She noted in her diary:
默卡夫人現在病了，但精神上仍然像往常一樣充滿活力。她在日記中寫道：September 9 (Wednesday) … Alan Turing came … He has come for a farewell visit before going out to America for 9 months (Princetown) to study under great authorities on his subject: Godel (Warsaw) Alonso Church and Kleene.
9月9日（星期三）……艾倫·圖靈來了……他過來道別，要去美國普林斯頓九個月，與幾位頂尖學者一起研究他的課題,哥德爾，阿隆佐·丘奇，還有克林。
We had talk before dinner and again later to bring us up to date with our news. … He and Edwin played billiards.
我們在晚餐前聊了一會，說了些新鮮事……他和愛德溫一起玩桌球。September 10: … Alan and Veronica to farms and Dingleside. … V and Alan tea up here with me.
9月10日：……艾倫和衛尼卡在這和我一起喝茶。Had long talk with Alan about his work and whether in his subject (some abstruse branch of logic) one would come to 'dead end' etc.
和艾倫談了很久，談他的工作，還有在他的研究框架中（一些邏輯學的深奧分支）一個人是否會到達"死亡終點"等等。September 11: Alan went down to church alone to see Chris' window and the little garden which he hadn't seen before since it was finished—
9月11日：艾倫一個人去教堂看克里斯彩窗，還有他之前沒看過的小花園。only the day he came to the dedication of the window… Alan taught me game called 'Go'—rather like Peggity.
因爲那小花園是他來看捐窗儀式那天才剛剛弄好的……艾倫教我玩了一個遊戲……September 12: …Rupert and Alan had tea in my room and then I took them all by surprise by coming down to dinner.
9月12日：……拉普特和艾倫在我的房間喝茶，然後我下樓吃晚餐，給了他們一個驚喜——There were 10 of us—a jolly party. Gramophone concert… Men billiards.
我們十個人搞了一場快活的留聲機音樂會……男人們打桌球。
