Audiobook Dictation: “Well, mother, said the young student…”

"Well, mother," said the young student, looking up, with a shade of impatience.

「怎麼了，母親？」年輕的學生抬起頭，帶著一絲不耐煩說。

"I wanted to talk with thee a little about thy plans."

「我想跟妳稍微談談妳的打算。」

"Mother; thee knows I couldn't stand it at Westfield; the school stifled me, it's a place to turn young people into dried fruit."

「母親，妳知道我在韋斯特菲爾德待不下去；那所學校讓我窒息，那是個把年輕人變成果乾的地方。」

"I know," said Margaret Bolton, with a half anxious smile, "thee chafes against all the ways of Friends, but what will thee do?

「我知道，」瑪格麗特·博爾頓帶著半是擔憂的微笑說，「妳對教友會的一切規矩都不耐煩，可妳打算怎麼辦呢？

Why is thee so discontented?"

妳為什麼這樣不滿足呢？」

"If I must say it, mother, I want to go away, and get out of this dead level."

「如果非說不可，母親，我想離開，走出這死氣沉沉的平庸日子。」
