An imaginary creature usually having various human and animal parts. 想象中的生物,又象人又象野兽。
After such imaginary discourse, the passenger in his fancy would dig, and dig, dig now, with a spade, now with a great key, now with his hands to dig this wretched creature out. 在这样想象中的对话之后,那乘客又在幻想中挖呀,挖呀,挖个不止有时用一把铁锹,有时用一把大钥匙,有时用手要把那可怜的人挖出来。
