雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第5章:解謎接力賽(78)
But anyone could see that a U-boat force just three times larger, enjoying a corresponding degree of success, would have a crippling effect both on the level of current supply, and on the total stock of shipping.
Each U-boat was sinking more than twenty ships in its life-time, and there was no counter-strategy while the U-boat remained invisible.
每艘潛艇至少會擊沉20艘船，而且當它潛入水底時，拿它一點辦法也沒有。It was the logical, rather than the physical, power of the U-boat that was its strength.
要想對付潛艇，相比於物理的力量，更關鍵的是邏輯上的力量。
It was the German failure to follow up this tremendous advantage against its only remaining enemy that allowed a period of reprieve in which to counter this logical power with new weapons of information and communication.
德國的失敗就在於，沒有利用這個極大的優勢，來追打它唯一存留的敵人，反而給了這敵人喘息之機，容他們發展出了新型的通信武器，來發揮邏輯的力量。Radio direction finding and radar had already joined sonar in taking the Admiralty a short way beyond the resources of Nelson. The work of Hut 8 was still far behind.
無線電測向和雷達已經加入了聲納，使海軍部離納爾遜的資源很近。“小屋”8的工作仍遠遠落後。Alan had begun his investigation of the naval Enigma messages on his own, but then was joined (for a time) by Peter Twinn and Kendrick.
艾倫現在已經開始研究海軍謎機了，後來（有段時間）彼得·吐溫和肯德里克也加入進來了。Clerical work was done by women who would be called 'big room girls'.
文書工作由一些被叫做“大屋女孩”的女性人員來做。Then in June 1940 there was a new mathematical recruit:
1940年6月，又僱用了一名新的數學家：Joan Clarke, who was one of several 'men of the Professor type' to be a woman.
瓊·克拉克，她是幾個“男專家”中的一員，但實際上是個女性。
