Audiobook Dictation: “You see, in Mariposa, shaving isn't…”

You see, in Mariposa, shaving isn't the hurried, perfunctory thing that it is in the city.

你瞧，在馬里波薩，刮鬍子可不像在城裡那樣匆匆忙忙、敷衍了事。

A shave is looked upon as a form of physical pleasure and lasts anywhere from twenty-five minutes to three-quarters of an hour.

刮鬍子被視為一種身體上的享受，一刮就是二十五分鐘到三刻鐘。

It makes one drowsy just to think of it!

光是想想就讓人犯睏！

The conversation, of course, was the real charm of the place.

當然，這地方真正的魅力在於聊天。

You see, Jefferson's forte, or specialty, was information.

你瞧，傑佛遜的強項，或者說專長，就是消息。

Where he got it all, I don't know, but I am inclined to think it came more or less out of the newspapers.

他從哪兒得來這麼多消息，我不知道，但我傾向於認為多多少少是從報紙上來的。

In the city, people never read the newspapers, not really, only little bits and scraps of them.

在城裡，人們從來不讀報紙，不是真讀，只是零零碎碎看上幾眼。

But in Mariposa it's different.

但在馬里波薩就不一樣了。
