Robin had persuaded Alan to come with him to the 1952 British Mathematical Colloquium in the spring;
春天，罗宾说服图灵一起参加1952年英国数学研讨会，
it was held at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich, which meant that they had the excuse to take a jaunt on the Thames steamer.
会议地点是格林威治的皇家海军学院，这意味着他们可以顺便乘坐泰晤士汽船游览一番。
Alan found some interesting wild flowers on the Greenwich bombsites, and there was a nice moment at the lunchtime bar,
在格林威治的一片被炸毁的废墟上，图灵看到了一些美丽的小野花。
when Alan suddenly disappeared through one doorway on spotting a particularly dull logician bear down upon him from another.
在午餐时，有一位讨厌的逻辑学家，突然进门向图灵走来，图灵立刻从另一扇门跑了出去。
By this time he was becoming quite famous as the author of Computable Numbers.
当时他的《可计算数》已经很著名了，
He liked to hear references to Turing machines ('Pryce's buoy' in his story) but he did not like paying the price, that of being pinned down for shop-talk by those trying to make connections.
他愿意听别人评价图灵机器，但他不愿意为此付出代价——比如被一些想套近乎的人纠缠。
More to his taste was talking with Christopher Strachey, who had brought a fresh breeze from King's into the technical atmosphere of the Manchester computer laboratory.
不过，图灵和克里斯朵夫·斯特拉齐倒是聊得很投机，斯特拉齐为曼彻斯特的计算机实验室带来了新鲜的思想。
He had much the same attitudes as Alan, and the same sense of humour.
他和图灵有很多相同的想法，他们还具有相同的幽默感。
