在附近徘徊 meaning in English

hang around

Tolerant though she was , she was revolted and maddened by a vague presentiment of coming ill , which frightened her in the evenings as thoroughly as if a wild beast had escaped from a menagerie and were known to be lurking in the countryside
她是一个宽容的人，可是这次她隐约预感到大祸将要临头，她非常气愤，非常恼火，夜里常常恐惧起来，仿佛有一头野兽从动物园里逃了出来，在附近徘徊。
The neighbourhood , to our ears , seemed haunted by approaching footsteps ; and what between the dead body of the captain on the parlour floor , and the thought of that detestable blind beggar hovering near at hand , and ready to return , there were moments when , as the saying goes , i jumped in my skin for terror
在我们耳中，四周充满了走近的脚步声，并且一看到客厅地板上船长的死尸，就会想到那个可恶的瞎乞丐就在附近徘徊，随时都可能回来。此时此刻，就像谚语说的，我是吓得魂不附体。
