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.

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

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

他们和我一，膊和腿很，身材短小，做成，身上披着海鸥的羽毛。

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.

癞蛤蟆转身就跑。他提着裙摆以他一生中最快的速度向前跑。但是车上的人穷追不舍，在他身后喊着叫着喝令他站祝他们追着他跑过树林，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。他想跑得更快些，但是可怜他身材矮胖双腿短小，根本无法甩开他们 。
