On the other hand, lectures on elementary electronics did not go down well with those from TRE, who could also see for themselves how the ACE design was built round the delay line storage.
另一方面，关于基础电子学的讲座也不太顺利，因为那些来自电子通信研究所的人，对于ACE的延迟线存储器也有很多自己的想法。
It had been intended that 'from these discussions would emerge more clearly what contribution TRE should make' to the ACE.
但是，尽管这些讨论不太客气，但却清楚地明确了ACE还有哪些工作需要电子通信研究所的帮助。
This was indeed to happen, but not in the way that Darwin had hoped.
事实上，他们真的提供了帮助，尽管不是以达尔文希望的方式。
As it happened, the scheme of lectures was suddenly disrupted, thanks to the arrival of a letter from America.
12月13日，这个讲座计划突然被一封来自美国的信打断了。
On 13 December Womersley found himself invited to a grand Symposium on Large Scale Digital Calculating Machinery to be held at Harvard from 7 to 10 January, in connection with the inauguration of Aiken's Mark II relay calculator.
沃默斯利得到邀请，参加一场1月7日到10日在哈佛举行的大型电子计算机座谈会，这同时也是艾肯的马克II号延迟计算机的竣工仪式。
But Darwin quickly decided that it would be better for Alan to drink at the fount of American wisdom, making arrangements for him to attend the conference, and then to visit the ENIAC and the von Neumann group.
但是达尔文当即决定，让图灵去向美国的专家们敬个酒，顺便去拜访一下ENIAC团队和冯·诺伊曼团队。
Jim Wilkinson took over the Adelphi lectures.
于是，讲座的事情就由威尔金森接手了。
Alan spent Christmas at David Champernowne's parents' house at Dorking, and in a Boxing Day athletics meeting lost the three-mile race by one foot, with a time of 15 minutes, 51 seconds.
图灵在多尔金的晨佩侬家里度过了圣诞节，并参加了第二天节日运动会的3公里赛跑，他用时15分51秒，仅以1英尺的差距输掉了。
The sports reporter of the Evening News obtained a unique statement from him regarding the authorship of the digital computer:
《晚间新闻》的体育记者发表了一个独特的报道：
'electronic' athlete
"电子"运动员
Antithesis of the popular notion of a scientist is tall, modest, 34-year-old bachelor Alan M. Turing, scratch man in the Walton Athletics Club's three-mile open event on Boxing Day.
公众普遍认为，图灵是一位高大、谦逊的34岁单身汉，在节日当天的3公里公开赛上，我们又见证了这位完美男人的另一面。
Turing is the club's star distance runner, although this is his first season in competitive events.
在当地俱乐部，图灵是一位明星长跑运动员，
At the National Physical Laboratory, at Molesey (sic), he is known as Dr Turing, (and) is also credited with the original idea for the Automatic Computing Engine, popularly known as the Electronic Brain.
而在国家物理实验室，他又是众所周知的图灵博士。他是自动计算引擎的思想创始人，也就是我们所说的电子大脑。
