Audiobook Dictation: “His body was iron; and he…”

His body was iron; and he never troubled himself about dews or rain or frost or snow.

他身如鐵鑄，從不在意露水、雨水、霜凍或風雪。

Scarcely had he lain down when a man came along the road, carrying an axe and a great bundle of chopped wood.

他剛躺下，便有一個人沿路走來，扛著一把斧頭和一大捆劈好的柴火。

This woodcutter halted on seeing Kwairyo lying down, and, after a moment of silent observation, said to him in a tone of great surprise:--

這樵夫見回龍躺在那裡，便停下腳步，默默打量了片刻，然後以十分驚訝的語氣對他說：——

There are haunters about here,--many of them.

這一帶有鬼怪出沒，——多得很。

Are you not afraid of Hairy Things?"

您不怕那些毛茸茸的妖物嗎？」

As for lonesome places, I like them: they are suitable for meditation.

至於荒僻之地，我倒是喜歡：正適合靜坐冥想。

This place has a bad name,--a very bad name.

這地方名聲不好，——非常不好。

Therefore, although my house is only a wretched thatched hut, let me beg of you to come home with me at once.

所以，寒舍雖只是一間破茅屋，還是懇請您立刻隨我回去吧。

In the way of food, I have nothing to offer you; but there is a roof at least, and you can sleep under it without risk."

吃的東西我是什麼也拿不出來；但至少有個屋頂，您可以在底下安安穩穩地睡一覺。」

The woodcutter guided him along a narrow path, leading up from the main road through mountain-forest.

樵夫領著他沿一條小徑前行，那小徑從大路岔出，穿過山林蜿蜒而上。
