His remarks about computers had from the beginning been as ruthless as those of G.H. Hardy on mathematics.
他对计算机的态度，就像哈代对数学的态度一样纯粹。
Never once had he suggested an application other than to pure research for its own sake, or to military purposes. He had never spoken of social improvement or economic welfare through science, and so had a position fortified against disillusion.

And however much assaulted by the application of science to 'organotherapy', for instance, he would not have questioned the structure of scientific knowledge itself.

It had been important for him to unshackle science from religious wishful thinking, and science for him remained independent of human purposes, judgments and feelings that were entirely irrelevant to the question of what was so.
在他看来，对待科学就要像对待宗教一样，无条件地敬畏而虔诚，这一点非常重要。科学只关注事物本来的样子，这与人类的动机无关，与人类的价值判断无关，更与人类的感情无关。
Edward Carpenter had called for a 'Rational and Humane Science', but in Alan Turing's book there was no reason whatever why the rational and the humane, the data and the instructions, should be correlated.
