雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第5章:解謎接力賽(133)
We realise that there is a tremendous demand for labour of all kinds and that its allocation is a matter of priorities.
The trouble to our mind is that as we are a very small section with numerically trivial requirements it is very difficult to bring home to the authorities finally responsible either the importance of what is done here or the urgent necessity of dealing promptly with our requests.
我們面臨的問題是，我們是一個小機構，但卻擔負着極大的工作量，我們很難使領導們理解我們這裏已經完成的工作有多麼重要，也無法使領導們理解我們將要面臨的工作有多麼緊急。At the same time we find it hard to believe that it is really impossible to produce quickly the additional staff that we need, even if this meant interfering with the normal machinery of allocations.
與此同時，我們不敢相信，我們對迅速擴充人員的需求，甚至包括正常添置機器的需求，都幾乎是不可能實現的。

由於人員的缺乏以及過重的負擔，福力鮑恩先生領導的何勒內斯部門注，在夜間已經無法工作。The effect of this is that the finding of the naval keys is being delayed at least twelve hours every day.
這影響了對海軍系統的破解工作，使其每天至少耽誤12個小時。In order to enable him to start night shifts again Freeborn needs immediately about twenty more untrained Grade III women clerks.
爲了使他能夠重新實行夜間換班制度，福力鮑恩需要20名以上三級女性工作人員，To put himself in a really adequate position to deal with any likely demands he will want a good many more.
這將使他能夠更好地控制局面，以最佳的狀態處理各種需求。A further serious danger now threatening us is that some of the skilled male staff, both with the British Tabulating Company at Letchworth and in Freeborn's section here,
還有一個更嚴重的問題正在威脅我們，報表公司以及福力鮑恩部門的一些有經驗的男性工作人員原本已經脫離軍職，who have so far been exempt from military service, are now liable to be called up.
但現在軍隊好像又打算重新調走他們。
