Everything had changed. There was no unemployment in Britain now, as there had been in 1940, and now everything was being planned.

雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第5章:解謎接力賽(139)
一切都改變了。現在已經不像1940年了,英國現在沒有一個人是閒着的,一切都在進行動員。

Indeed, Britain and the United States found themselves planning the entire trading economy of the world outside Axis and Soviet jurisdiction.

事實上,英國和美國正在動員除了軸心國和蘇聯外整個世界的貿易經濟。

At Bletchley, the country-house party spirit was gone, replaced by a conscription of the intelligentsia, to be ferried round Buckinghamshire in fleets of buses.

在布萊切利,已經沒有鄉間派對的氣氛了,取而代之的是緊張的知識界大徵兵,一隊隊汽車,把人們運到白金漢郡周圍。

The chaos of 1940 and the floundering of 1941 had been sorted out just in time to make use of the 'cornucopian abundance'.

1940年的混亂和1941年的爭取,使他們及時補充了充足的資源。

Now the military departments had been forced to swallow their pride and adapt to its output:

現在,軍方被迫吞下驕傲,並適應布萊切利的產出:

not sporadic 'golden eggs', but the production of an intelligent, integrated organisation which mirrored every level of the enemy system.

現在已經不是斷斷續續的金蛋了,而是高效、統一,能反映各方面敵人信息的大系統。

In 1941 the supply of resources to Bletchley was still regarded as a concession, one that subtracted from the real men's war of aircraft and guns.

1941年,布萊切利仍然被認爲是特殊的地方,因爲這個戰場是沒有硝煙的,

Even at the end of the year, the cryptanalysts had been obliged to manage with no more than sixteen Bombes—and this when the breaking into a number of German Army key-systems had rapidly increased their requirements.

在這一年的年底,密碼分析員只有不到16臺炸彈機可以使用。

But their desperate letter to Churchill had brought about a change of attitude.

致丘吉爾的緊急信,帶來了明顯的改變,

Travis took over the direction from Denniston, and presided over an administrative revolution which at last brought the management of Intelligence into line with its mode of production.

特拉維斯接替丹尼斯頓負責指揮,並進行了行政改革,形成了知識分子們能夠接受的新模式。

Meanwhile the services, recognising the hard fact that Intelligence was dominating Churchill's control of the war, began to slacken their resistance to Bletchley's claims.

與此同時,情報部意識到了這個有力的事實,這些精英們正在影響丘吉爾對整個戰爭的控制,於是對布萊切利不再那麼有敵意。
