We had hardly reached the third pillar, which was our rendezvous, before a small, dark, brisk man in the dress of a coachman accosted us.

们刚刚走近约定的第三个柱前面，就来了一个材短小、面貌黧黑、穿着马车夫装束的精壮男，们招呼。

He tried to run even faster, but he was a fat animal and his legs were short, and the people were catching up with him.

癞蛤蟆转就跑。提着裙以一生中最快的速度前跑。但是车上的人穷追不舍，在喊着叫着喝令站祝们追着跑过树林，穿过田野，越过山峦，又追进了山谷。有次癞蛤蟆回头瞥了一眼，看见又有两名警察加入这次追捕。想跑得更快些，但是可怜材矮胖双腿短小，根本无法甩开们 。

They were as tall as I, with long arms and legs and short bodies made of reeds and clothed in gull feathers.

们和一样高，胳膊和腿很长，材短小，用芦苇做成，上披着海鸥的羽毛。
