Audiobook Dictation: “There was William Henry, John Frank…”

There was William Henry, John Frank, Ferdinand Augustus, and Stephen Arthur.

有威廉·亨利、约翰·弗兰克、费迪南德·奥古斯塔斯和斯蒂芬·亚瑟。

Each of them twice my size and all of them frightfully ignorant and wholly regardless of the sensitive little points of those with whom they came in contact.

他们个个身材比我大一倍，全都愚昧得可怕，完全不顾及与他们打交道的人那些细微敏感之处。

There is no circumlocution about them. They go straight at what they want; and were scarcely inside my door before they blurted out the purport of their coming.

他们说话从不拐弯抹角，想要什么就直奔什么；刚一进我家门，就把来意脱口而出。

It was Frederick Augustus; if the thing is possible he is, if anything, more direct even than the rest of his family.

开口的是弗雷德里克·奥古斯塔斯；如果可能的话，他甚至比家里其他人还要直截了当。

"Look here, Whiting, how about Mary Ann's ring?

“喂，怀廷，玛丽·安的戒指怎么样了？

The girl is fretting, but you don't seem to notice it.

那姑娘正为这事发愁，可你好像根本没注意到。
