Audiobook Dictation: “But, I remarked, since we have…”

"But," I remarked, "since we have followed the road that Saknussemm has shown us--"

“Tetapi,” kataku, “karena kita sudah mengikuti jalan yang ditunjukkan Saknussemm--”

"That is just the question.

“Justru itulah masalahnya.

Have we followed that road?

Benarkah kita mengikuti jalan itu?

Did he cross it?

Apakah ia menyeberanginya?

"At any rate we cannot feel sorry to have come so far.

“Bagaimanapun juga, kita tak mungkin menyesal sudah datang sejauh ini.

"But I don't care for prospects.

“Tetapi aku tak peduli pada pemandangan.

I came with an object, and I mean to attain it.

Aku datang dengan satu tujuan, dan aku bertekad mencapainya.

Therefore don't talk to me about views and prospects."

Jadi jangan bicara padaku soal panorama dan pemandangan.”

I take this as my answer, and I leave the Professor to bite his lips with impatience.

Kuanggap itu jawabannya, dan kubiarkan sang Profesor menggigit bibirnya karena tak sabar.
