his何指?

有读者问: 《大学英语教程》第二册有这样一句话:

James Boswell, for instance, could sit in the same room with Dr Johnson, with his eyes and ears open like a reporter so that when he came to write his book, he could transfer Johnson's personality to paper and catch the very sound of his voice.

这里的with his eyes and ears open指Boswell还是指Johnson? 又,catch the very sound of his voice作何解?

with his eyes and ears open中的his,从上下文看,显然指代Boswell。catch the very sound of his voice的大意是:传达他的声音笑貌。the sound of one's voice是一习惯说法,其意为“一个人的说话声或言谈声”。
