Audiobook Dictation: “A boy from his post at…”

A boy from his post at the window had seen the rector come from the house.

一個守在窗邊的男孩看見校長從住處走了出來。

All the catechisms were opened and all heads bent upon them silently.

所有的教理問答都翻開了，所有的腦袋都默默地埋在書上。

A gentle kick from the tall boy in the bench behind urged Stephen to ask a difficult question.

後排長凳上的高個子男孩輕輕踢了一腳，催斯蒂芬提一個難題。

The rector did not ask for a catechism to hear the lesson from.

校長並沒有要一本教理問答來考問功課。

He clasped his hands on the desk and said:

他雙手交握放在講台上，說道：

The retreat will go on from Wednesday to Friday.

避靜將從星期三持續到星期五。

On Friday confession will be heard all the afternoon after beads.

星期五唸完玫瑰經後，整個下午都會聽告解。

If any boys have special confessors perhaps it will be better for them not to change.

如果有哪個男孩有專門的告解神父，最好還是不要換。

Mass will be on Saturday morning at nine o'clock and general communion for the whole college.

彌撒在星期六上午九點舉行，全校共同領聖體。

But Saturday and Sunday being free days some boys might be inclined to think that Monday is a free day also.

不過星期六和星期天是假日，有些男孩可能會以為星期一也放假。
