A tall man

高个子男人

As Polly observed the passengers on the train, she had a feeling that she was being watched by a tall man in a dark overcoat.

正当波莉打量地铁里的乘客时，她感觉到有一个穿黑色外套的男人在注视着她。

At last the train arrived at Green Park station.

终于，地铁到达格林公园站。

While the rest of the passengers were getting out, she glanced at the faces around her.

当其他乘客陆续下车的时候，波莉扫视了一下周围的面孔。

The tall man was nowhere to be seen.

这时，高个子男人不见了。

Footsteps

脚步声

When Polly got to the station entrance, it was empty. Outside, where she looked the fog lay like a thick, grey cloud.

等波莉到达地铁入口处时，那里已空无一人。外面，大雾就像一片浓密的灰云在笼罩着。

There was no one in sight. Polly set off towards Park Street.

什么人也看不见。于是，波莉向花园街走去。

As she walked along the narrow street, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching, but by the time she reached the corner of the street, the footsteps were gone.

走着走着，波莉听到了一阵脚步声，可等她到了街道拐角处，脚步声又消失了。

Suddenly Polly felt a rough hand brush her cheek, and she heard a man's voice in her ear saying 'Sorry.'

忽然，波莉觉得有一只粗糙的手拂了一下她的脸，随即就有一个男人的声音在她耳边响起：“对不起。”

The man moved away. She could feel her heart beating with fear.

男人走开了。她能感到由于害怕自己的心脏在砰砰乱跳。
