My beard I had once suffered to grow till it was about a quarter of a yard long; but as I had both scissors and razors sufficient, I had cut it pretty short, except what grew on my upper lip, which I had trimmed into a large pair of Mahometan whiskers, such as I had seen worn by some Turks, who I saw at Sallee; for the Moors did not wear such, though the Turks did; of these muschatoes or whiskers, I will not say they were long enough to hang my hat upon them; but they were of a length and shape monstrous enough, and such as in England would have passed for frightful.

我的胡子曾经一度长到四分之一码长，但因为我有足够数量的剪刀和剃刀，所以把它剪得很短，但上嘴唇的胡子还留着，并修剪成像穆罕默德式的八字须，像我在萨累见到的土耳其人留的胡子那样，因为摩尔人是不留这种胡子的（欧洲人称非洲西北部的穆斯林为摩尔人。译者注），虽然土耳其人是留的。我不敢说这胡子长得可以挂我的帽子，但它的长度和模样实在罕见，要是在英国，这种胡子准会叫人吓一大跳。

Happily, a number of falsehoods long popular in Africa are being exposed. One is that dictatorship and one-party states do better at imposing discipline to spur economic growth. Look at China, some say. A recent paper by two Oxford academics rubbishes that theory, not just in Africa. The same paper rightly lauds another good African trend, to impose term limits on leaders.

可喜的是，许多在非洲长期流行的谎言正逐步被揭露，其一就是专制或一党执政的国家能够在通过强加政策拉动经济增长方面做得更好，一些人说中国就是个例子，两位牛津大学的学者最近发表文章贬斥了这一说法，这篇文章同时公正地赞扬了非洲的另一个很好的趋势，那就是对领导人的任期加以限制。
