Audiobook Dictation: “A lost half-hour? said the old…”

"A lost half-hour?" said the old man.

「丟了的半個鐘頭？」老人說。

"I've lost something much more serious, I've lost my reputation.

「我丟了比這要緊得多的東西，我丟了我的名聲。

It was very dignified and wore tortoise-shell glasses."

它非常莊重，還戴著一副玳瑁眼鏡。」

But Bobo had to answer "No," and the old man wandered on again.

可波波只能回答「沒有」，老人便又踱步走了。

Another day the simpleton encountered a tall, dark, fierce kind of fellow, who answered his polite question with a scream of rage.

又有一天，這個傻小子碰上一個高個子、黑皮膚、凶神惡煞般的傢伙，那人對他禮貌的詢問報以一聲怒吼。

"A half-hour," he roared.

「半個鐘頭！」他咆哮道。

"No, I have n't seen your half-hour; I would n't tell you if I had; what's more, I don't want to see it.

「沒有，我沒見過你的半個鐘頭；就算見過也不告訴你；再說了，我才不想見它。

I've lost my temper.

我丟了我的好脾氣。

Answer me, you silly, have you seen a lost temper anywhere?

回答我，你這傻瓜，你在哪兒見過一個丟了的好脾氣嗎？

It's about the size of a large melon and has sharp little points."

它大約有個大甜瓜那麼大，上面長著尖尖的小刺。」
