Professor Newman came to see Mr Womersley in 1945 and introduced Dr Turing, who very soon afterwards joined the staff of the Laboratory.
1945年,纽曼教授前来拜访沃默斯利先生,并且介绍了图灵博士,不久之后图灵博士加入了本实验室。
This was the only mention of Alan's part in the project.
这一段是唯一提到图灵的地方。
The account continued to explain that,
克尔布鲁克继续编他的故事,
In 1946, work on the Automatic Computing Engine was started and it was arranged for the experimental work to be done by the Post Office and the theoretical work, including the programming of the machine, at the Laboratory.
1946年,自动计算引擎项目正式启动,邮政实验室负责实验性工作,而本实验则负责理论工作和编程工作。
Because of slow progress at the Post Office, a section was started at NPL in 1947 to build the ACE machine.
由于邮政实验室进展极其缓慢,因此本实验室在1947年组建了一个新部门,负责制造ACE。
Skilfully passing over the Thomas period, Colebrook described the progress made in 1948 and 1949.
然后他富有技巧地把托马斯时期给忽略了,直接就跳到了1948年和1949年的进展。
He then contrasted the Pilot ACE with 'the machine originally proposed', and announced that,
接下来他将ACE原型机和“最初的计划”进行对比,并且宣称,
The actual size of the ace as originally contemplated was the outcome of long consideration by Mr Womersley and Professor von Neumann during Mr Womersley's visit to the United States.
原计划的完整型ACE,是沃默斯利先生拜访美国时,与冯·诺伊曼教授交流之后,得到的思考成果。
Already by 1950, Alan Turing was an unperson.
到了1950年,图灵已经被彻底遗忘了。
But he was never one to complain, once he had made his decision.
然而,图灵只要做出了自己的决定,就绝对不会抱怨。
In many ways, his position at Manchester was parallel to that at Hanslope, in terms of status and class and struggles over equipment.
在很多方面,就身份、级别、设备的缺乏而言,他在曼彻斯特的处境,与在汉斯洛普差不多。
One difference was the harshness of the Manchester environment, which surely exacerbated his rudeness.
有一个不同是,曼彻斯特的环境无疑使他变得更加粗暴了。
