Every afternoon a file of old women passes down the road outside my house , each carrying a load of

firewood . All of them are mummified with age and sun ,

and all of them are tiny . One day a poor old

creature who could not have been more than four feet

tall crept past me under a vast load of wood . I stopped

her and put a five-sou piece into her hand .She

answered with a shrill wail , which was partly gratitude

but mainly surprise .

每天下午,我家门前的路上都会有一队背着柴火的老妇经过。由于年龄和日光的照射他们看上去都十分干瘪,每个人都是那么瘦小。一天,一位身高不足四英尺的老人背着一大堆柴火从我面前经过。我拦住了她并把一张五块钱交给了她。她哭了,也是出于感激但更多是出于惊讶。

could not have been 是不可能的意思
