and on uttering these words, she flew off through the brakes and over the huge stones,
說著這番話，她飛沖過矮從和巨大的石頭，
up—up—up—faster than ever huntsman ran in to the death, fearless as a goat playing among the precipices.

Down came the fierce rushing of the eagle' wings, each savage bird dashing close to her head,
鷹的翅膀激烈地沖來，每一只野蠻的鳥猛沖式地接近她的頭，
so that she saw the yellow of their wrathful eyes!
于是她看到了那雙憤怒的黃色眼睛！
