Neville was taking a two-year postgraduate course in statistics.

奈维尔已经修完了两年统计学的研究生课程,
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年他们一起去法国,度过了一个短暂的假期。他们一起骑单车,还游览了拉斯科岩洞,图灵很喜欢那些原始的壁画,他常常想画一些速写来描绘自然。
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年一样,图灵回到国王学院,度过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.
国王学院继续担当他的守护神,尤其是罗宾,就像白骑士一样,为他提供了最多的帮助。
In other ways, Robin was not the White Knight at all, being rather dashing and energetic.
但在其它方面,罗宾根本不是白骑士,他比图灵更不安分。
Later he acquired a powerful motor-cycle and a full set of black leathers, and sometimes took Alan for rides in the Peak District.
他搞了一辆马力很大的摩托车,有时会带着图灵去皮克区飙车。
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.
图灵给他的朋友们讲了普林斯顿的寻宝游戏,在接下来的几年里,他跟罗宾、尼克·佛本科、凯斯·罗伯兹一起,组织起来玩了几次。
Alan would run round in search of the clues, while the others would cycle.
图灵负责研究线索,其他人负责骑车。
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.
有一次诺尔·安南参加进来,并用一瓶香槟来提示一条带有"香槟"这个词的法语线索。
Keith Roberts had many discussions with Alan about science and computers, but was innocent of other matters which Alan shared with his friends.
凯斯·罗伯兹跟图灵讨论过很多关于科学和计算机的事,但却从未谈过"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·弗本科虽然没有学术背景,但他对博弈论和模拟原则很有兴趣。图灵还跟尼克·佛本科和罗宾一起,发明了一套新的游戏。
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.
这个游戏是,一个人到房间外面去,其他的人则列出一个礼物清单,想象那个人会喜欢的礼物。
