The Senior Assistants had all served in Room 40, except perhaps Feterlain, an exile from Russia who became head of the Russian section.

資深助理都在第40室供職，也許只有費特萊恩除外，他是從蘇聯逃亡而來，因此擔任對俄部門的領導。

There was Oliver Strachey, who was brother of Lytton Strachey and husband of Ray Strachey, the well-known feminist, and there was Dillwyn Knox, the classical scholar and Fellow of Kings until the Great War.

這裏還有奧利文·斯傳奇，他是林頓·斯傳奇的兄弟、著名女權主義者瑞·斯傳奇的丈夫。還有迪爾威·諾克斯，一戰前的國王學院研究員。

Strachey and Knox had both been members of the Keynesian circle at its Edwardian peak.

斯傳奇和諾克斯都是凱恩斯圈子的成員。

The Junior Assistants had been recruited as the department expanded a little in the 1920s;

初級助理是在20年代部門擴張時招募的，

the most recently appointed of them, A.M. Kendrick, had joined in 1932.

The work of GC and CS had played an important part in the politics of the 1920s.

政府編碼密碼學校的工作，在20年代的英國政局中扮演了重要的角色。

Russian intercepts leaked to the press helped to bring down the Labour government in 1924.

他們截獲並公開的蘇聯情報，造成了1924年工黨政府的倒臺。

But in protecting the British Empire from a revived Germany, the Code and Cypher School was less vigorous.

There was a good deal of sucess in reading the communications of Italy and Japan,

在截獲意大利和日本的通信的工作中，他們獲得了許多成功，

but the official history was to describe it as 'unfortunate' that 'despite the growing effort applied at GC and CS to military work after 1936, so little attention was devoted to the German problem.'

但是官方歷史認爲他們很不幸，因爲他們在1936年之後所做的大量軍事工作，幾乎沒有關於德國的。
