直到肥大的腿和脚出现在她身后一边一肢
and she was out, squatting there, panting.

她蹲在那踹着气
She stood up loosely and shook herself

然后懒懒地站起来摇摇身子
and stamped in the water dripping off of her.

踩在从她身上落下的一滩水中"
She comports herself like a dog in this scene.

在这一幕里她的行动像只狗一样
Okay. So she shakes-- as if she had fur to shake--

她摇摆着像是身上有毛可以甩动一样
but register the weirdness of this sentence:

注意这句话里的怪异之处
Then she rose on her hands,

"她用手撑着爬起来
until a large foot and leg came up from behind her.

直到肥大的腿和脚出现在她身后"
It's as if they're sneaking up behind her.

好像那些腿和脚是藏在她后面似的
It's as if they're separate from her, not part of her body at all.

似乎它们与她是分离的完全不是她身体的一部分
So, even when you see O'Connor describing the emergence of a body from the water
