双语畅销书《艾伦图灵传》第5章:解谜接力赛(109)
Joan had only a cardboard pocket set, and proper chess pieces were unobtainable in wartime conditions, so they improvised their own solution.
琼只有一副硬纸板做成的口袋棋子,在战争期间,很难弄到像样的棋子,于是他们打算自己动手做。Alan got some clay from one of the local pits, and they modelled the figures together.
艾伦从附近的坑里挖了一些泥土,他们一起捏制棋子,Alan then fired them on the hob of the coal fire in his room at the Crown Inn.

The resulting set was quite usable, if somewhat liable to breaking.

除了萧伯纳,艾伦现在还喜欢托马斯·哈代,他把《苔丝》借给琼。These were, after all, with Samuel Butler, the writers who had attacked the Victorian codes.
这些都是对维多利亚时代的批判。But they spent more time taking long country bicycle rides.
他们更多的时间是在乡村的小路上骑单车。And because she had studied botany at school, Joan was able to join in one of Alan's enthusiasms which went back to Natural Wonders.
