Audiobook Dictation: “At this moment John raised the…”

At this moment John raised the mat, and counted twenty-five natives keeping guard on the Ware-Atoua.

Pada saat itu John mengangkat tikar dan menghitung dua puluh lima penduduk asli yang berjaga di Ware-Atoua.

But they all kept watchful guard on the hut confided to their care.

Namun mereka semua menjaga dengan waspada pondok yang dipercayakan kepada mereka.

The jailer may forget that he is on guard; the prisoner never forgets that he is guarded.

Sipir bisa lupa bahwa ia sedang berjaga; tahanan tak pernah lupa bahwa ia sedang dijaga.

The captive thinks oftener of escaping than the jailer of preventing his flight, and hence we hear of frequent and wonderful escapes.

Tawanan lebih sering memikirkan cara kabur daripada sipir memikirkan cara mencegahnya, karena itulah kita sering mendengar tentang pelarian yang mengagumkan.

All escape was thus hopeless, and Glenarvan having tried the walls for the twentieth time, was compelled to acknowledge that it was so.

Karena itu segala upaya melarikan diri sia-sia, dan Glenarvan, setelah memeriksa dinding untuk kedua puluh kalinya, terpaksa mengakuinya.

The hours of this night, wretched as they were, slipped away.

Jam demi jam malam itu, betapapun menyedihkannya, berlalu juga.

Thick darkness had settled on the mountain.

Kegelapan pekat telah menyelimuti gunung itu.

Neither moon nor stars pierced the gloom.

Tak ada bulan maupun bintang yang menembus kegelapan.

"Listen," said he, motioning them to stoop.

"Dengar," katanya, memberi isyarat agar mereka membungkuk.

The scratching became more and more audible; they could hear the little stones grate on a hard body and roll away.

Bunyi garukan itu makin lama makin jelas; mereka bisa mendengar batu-batu kecil bergesekan dengan benda keras lalu menggelinding.
