纪念计算机科学之父艾伦•图灵100周年诞辰

Turing subsequently read mathematics at Cambridge, later assisting in the development of the innovative Manchester computers.

随后，图灵进入剑桥大学学习数学，后来，他协助研制曼彻斯特马克一号，即世界上最早的计算机之一。

On 4 September 1939 the day after Britain declared war on Germany, Turing reported to Bletchley Park, the wartime station of the Government Code and Cypher School and forerunner of GCHQ. At Bletchley, Turing led a team whose ingenuity and intellect were turned to the task of breaking German ciphers. One of Turing’s main contributions whilst there was to invent the Bombe, an electromechanical machine used to find the daily settings of the Enigma machine. A fully functional rebuild of the Bombe can be found today at Bletchley Park, along with the excellent Turing exhibition, I encourage you to visit.

1939年9月4日，即英国对德宣战的第二天，图灵前往布莱切利公园（即战时政府信号密码学校，政府通信总部的前身）报到。在这里，图灵领导了一个小组负责破译德军密码。当时，图灵的最大贡献是发明名为Bombe的电机装置，用于发现德国Enigma密码机的日常设置。今天，在布莱切利公园还有图灵和Bombe的纪念展示，非常值得一看。

Alan Turing was an absolutely vital part of the British war effort and one of the most important people of the 20th century. It is without question that his efforts helped shorten the war significantly, saving the lives of millions of people.
