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，在马里波萨，刮胡子可不像在城里那样匆匆忙忙、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.

刮胡子被视为一种身体上的享受，一刮就是二十五分钟到三刻钟。

It makes one drowsy just to think of it!

光是想想就让人犯困！

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

当然，这地方真正的魅力在于聊天。

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

你瞧，杰斐逊的强项，或者说专长，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.

他从哪儿得来这么多消息，我不知道，但我倾向于认为多多少少是从报纸上来的。

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

在城里，人们从来不读报纸，不是真读，只是零零碎碎看上几眼。

But in Mariposa it's different.

但在马里波萨就不一样了。
