雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第9章:退隱山林(55)
Neville was taking a two-year postgraduate course in statistics.
At Easter 1949 they had another short holiday together in France, cycling and visiting the Lascaux Caves. (The prehistoric paintings rather suited Alan, who always wanted to draw nature from scratch himself.)
1949年他們一起去法國，度過了一個短暫的假期。他們一起騎單車，還遊覽了拉斯科巖洞，圖靈很喜歡那些原始的壁畫，他常常想畫一些速寫來描繪自然。Alan also spent the August of each year back for the long vacation in King's, rather as he had in 1937.
就像1937年一樣，圖靈回到國王學院，度過8月。
So King's retained its protective role, and Robin in particular was the White Knight in the forest, as the most helpful character in the story.
國王學院繼續擔當他的守護神，尤其是羅賓，就像白騎士一樣，爲他提供了最多的幫助。In other ways, Robin was not the White Knight at all, being rather dashing and energetic.
但在其它方面，羅賓根本不是白騎士，他比圖靈更不安分。Later he acquired a powerful motor-cycle and a full set of black leathers, and sometimes took Alan for rides in the Peak District.
他搞了一輛馬力很大的摩托車，有時會帶着圖靈去皮克區飆車。Alan told his friends about the Princeton treasure hunts, and he, with Robin, Nick Furbank and Keith Roberts, organised several of them over the next few years.
圖靈給他的朋友們講了普林斯頓的尋寶遊戲，在接下來的幾年裏，他跟羅賓、尼克·佛本科、凱斯·羅伯茲一起，組織起來玩了幾次。Alan would run round in search of the clues, while the others would cycle.
圖靈負責研究線索，其他人負責騎車。Once Noel Annan joined in, and made a great hit by producing a bottle of champagne to match a clue which involved an Old French text with the word champaigne.
有一次諾爾·安南參加進來，並用一瓶香檳來提示一條帶有"香檳"這個詞的法語線索。Keith Roberts had many discussions with Alan about science and computers, but was innocent of other matters which Alan shared with his friends.
凱斯·羅伯茲跟圖靈討論過很多關於科學和計算機的事，但卻從未談過"那方面"的事。Nick Furbank, on the other hand, did not have the scientific background, but he was very interested in rationalism and game theory and the imitation principle Alan and Robin and Nick devised a new game called Presents.
尼克·弗本科雖然沒有學術背景，但他對博弈論和模擬原則很有興趣。圖靈還跟尼克·佛本科和羅賓一起，發明了一套新的遊戲。The idea was that one person went out of the room and the others made up a list of imaginary presents that they believed he would like to have.
這個遊戲是，一個人到房間外面去，其他的人則列出一個禮物清單，想象那個人會喜歡的禮物。
