雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第8章:面朝大海(211)

Television, its development arrested in 1939, made its first mass impact with the coronation.

1939年發展停滯的電視，在《加冕禮》中第一次產生了巨大的影響。

In a far more complex and more affluent Britain, the boundaries of officiAl and unofficial ideas would become less clear.

在一個複雜得多、富裕得多的英國，官方思想與個人思想之間的界線，變得越來越模糊。

An outsider, an intellectual beatnik like Alan Turing, might find more room to breathe.

對於圖靈這樣的"垮掉的一代"來說，似乎有了更大的喘息空間。

Besides the general relaxation of manners, the diversification of life was most acute in questions of sex.

在這樣的背景下，性問題變得更加白熱化。

As in the 1890s, the greater official consciousness of sexuality was matched by a greater outspokenness on the part of individuals-and most notably in America, where the process had begun earlier than in Britain.

正如1890年代那樣，公衆對性的態度越開放，官方就會對此越加註意——尤其是在美國，他們比英國開放得更早。

One particular example of this, the American novel Finistere which had appeared in 1951, was much admired by Alan.

這個時期的典型例子，就是1951年出版的小說《菲尼斯泰爾》，圖靈非常喜歡這本小說。
