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

“可是，”我说，“既然我们是沿着萨克努塞姆指示的道路走来的——”

"That is just the question.

“问题就在这里。

Have we followed that road?

我们真的是沿着那条路走的吗？

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

“不管怎样，走了这么远，我们总不会觉得遗憾吧。

"But I don't care for prospects.

“可我不在乎什么景致。

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

我是带着目的来的，我非达到不可。

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

所以别跟我谈什么风景、景致。”

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

我把这当作给我的回答，便由着教授焦躁地咬着嘴唇。
