雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第8章:面朝大海(175)
The Wilmslow newspaper headline was:
威姆斯洛當地報紙的頭條登出：
UNIVERSITY READER PUT ON PROBATION
大學教授被處緩刑
TO have Organo-Therapic Treatment
必須接受化學閹割
Alan wrote to Philip Hall, two weeks later:
兩個星期後，圖靈寫信給菲利浦·霍爾：
...I am both bound over for a year and obliged to take this organo-therapy for the same period.
……我將被監控一年，並強迫接受化學閹割。
It is supposed to reduce sexual urge whilst it goes on, but one is supposed to return to normal when it is over.
他們說它的作用是減弱性慾，並最終使患者恢復正常。
I hope they're right. The psychiatrists seemed to think it useless to try and do any psychotherapy.
但願他們說的是真的。精神專家似乎認爲，一切精神療法都是無效的。
The day of the trial was by no means disagreeable.
審判的那天，感覺還不錯。
Whilst in custody with the other criminals I had a very agreeable sense of irresponsibility, rather like being back at school.
當我和其他犯人拘留在一起時，我彷彿回到了學生時代。
The warders rather like prefects.
那些看守就像監督生。
I was also quite glad to see my accomplice again, though I didn't trust him an inch.
我很高興又見到了我的夥伴，但我再也不會相信他了。
