She looked impatient and sort of paced on the spot, while glancing at her watch as if in a hurry.

她看上去有些不耐烦，在原倒着碎步。看看表，就好像要赶着去什么方。

Well, he's come a long way. Or a short way very slowly, so it feels like a long way.

他已进步很多了，或者是慢慢进小碎步，所以让人错觉已是很大的进步了。

I had regained a fragile sense of calm, and I left the bathroom carrying that calmness delicately, as if it were a china plate balancing on my head. I walked slowly down the hall, taking small, even steps.

我恢复了脆弱的平静，从容卫生间，像头上顶着一瓷盘一样。我迈着均匀的小碎步慢慢穿过走廊。

She walked with short, quick steps.

【quick，quickness】她迈着碎步急速走着。

Knees together. Those awkward little steps.

膝盖摩 着小碎步向我走来。
