他已经进步很多了，或者是慢慢进小碎步，所以让人错觉已经是很大的进步了。

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

有些不耐烦，在原地倒着碎步。表，就好像要赶着什么地方。

Knees together. Those awkward little steps.

膝盖摩 着小碎步向我走来。

She walked with short, quick steps.

【quick，quickness】迈着碎步急速走着。

我恢复了脆弱的平静，从容地离开卫生间，像头顶着一个瓷盘一样。我迈着均匀的小碎步慢慢穿过走廊。
