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

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

「可是，」我說，「既然我們是沿著薩克努塞姆指示的道路走來的——」

"That is just the question.

「問題就在這裡。

Have we followed that road?

我們真的是沿著那條路走的嗎？

Did he cross it?

他渡過這片海了嗎？

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

「不管怎樣，走了這麼遠，我們總不會覺得遺憾吧。

"But I don't care for prospects.

「可我不在乎什麼景致。

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

我是帶著目的來的，我非達到不可。

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

所以別跟我談什麼風景、景致。」

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

我把這當作給我的回答，便由著教授焦躁地咬著嘴唇。
