You know, I pretty much fly every second day or every third day for 12 to 14 hours sometimes.

我几乎每隔一天或第三天就会坐飞机，有时会持续12到14个小时。

Another time, one of the servants, whose office it was to fill my trough every third day with fresh water, was so careless as to let a huge frog (not perceiving it) slip out of his pail.

还有一次，一个仆人的职责是每三天给我的水槽装满淡水，他粗心大意，让一只巨大的青蛙（没有察觉）从他的桶里溜了出来。
