雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第8章:面朝大海(224)
Robin stayed at Wilmslow for the weekend of 31 May, just ten days before Alan died.
就在圖靈去世前一週，5月31日，那天是個週末，羅賓去威姆斯洛看望他。Their friendship was one of great mutual confidence in emotional matters, but there was no hint of a psychological crisis on this visit.
羅賓是與圖靈最心有靈犀的摯友之一，但他沒有察覺到任何不對勁的地方。
They amused themselves with Alan's experiments, trying to make a non-poisonous weedkiller and sink-cleaner from natural ingredients.
他們一起做實驗，嘗試用全天然的材料製取除草劑和洗滌劑。
They talked about type theory and planned to meet again in July.
他們還討論了類型論，並約好了七月再見面。
Alan had much developed his friendship with the writer Nick Furbank-a development which perhaps reflected his greater willingness to branch away from science, and even to interest himself in literature.
圖靈和作家佛本科的交情也日漸深厚，這種變化也許反映了圖靈對文學的一些興趣。
The subject of suicide had entered at some point in their conversation, and Nick recalled it when he wrote to Robin on 13 June, describing what he had found at Wilmslow, when he went there in his capacity of executor.
6月13日，佛本科寫信給羅賓，他在信中回憶道，曾經有一次，他與圖靈在威姆斯洛閒聊，當時圖靈提到了自殺的問題。
But this had lent no sense of explanation to the death, only perhaps the knowledge that it was not a course that Alan had ruled out of court.
但這並不能作爲自殺的證據，最多能夠說明，圖靈自己沒有排除"自殺"這個選擇。
