Audiobook Dictation: “John Merrick, of Portland; and each…”

John Merrick, of Portland"; and each one bowed profoundly and declared he was "highly honored."

波特蘭的約翰·梅里克」；每個人都深深鞠躬，聲稱「不勝榮幸」。

Yet Uncle John seemed in no way elated by this reception.

然而約翰叔叔對這番接待似乎絲毫沒有得意之色。

"It's John Merrick" passed from mouth to mouth, and the uniformed official strutted from one window to another, saying:

「是約翰·梅里克」這句話一傳十、十傳百，那個穿制服的職員從一個窗口踱到另一個窗口，得意揚揚地說：

"I showed him in myself.

「是我親自領他進來的。

But Uncle John waived it aside disdainfully.

但約翰叔叔不屑一顧地把這推到了一邊。

In a moment the great Broadway crowd had swallowed up John Merrick, and five minutes later he was thoughtfully gazing into a shop window again.

轉眼間，百老匯的洶湧人潮就吞沒了約翰·梅里克，五分鐘後，他又若有所思地凝視著一家商店的櫥窗。

By and bye he bethought himself of the time, and took a cab uptown.

過了一會兒，他想起了時間，便叫了輛馬車往上城去。

Do you know you're ten minutes late?"

你知道你遲到了十分鐘嗎？」

"I'm sorry," he said, humbly; "but it's a long way here from downtown."

「對不起，」他謙卑地說，「可從下城到這兒路太遠了。」

"Didn't you take a car?"

「你沒坐電車嗎？」
