Why did none of the other half milers move?

为什么其他半英里都没有动？

" Where are those half milers" ? he said genially to Andrew.

“那些半英里在哪里” ？他亲切地对安德鲁说。

Andrew saw the other half milers were trotting round the track.

安德鲁看到其他半英里的人在跑道上小跑。

It sounded splendidly casual, but Andrew had a strong feeling that what Brewster meant was: " I rather fancy myself as a class half miler, so just watch me. I believe I can beat Redbrooke. I'm not troubling about the rest, anyhow" .

这听起来非常随意， 但安德鲁有一种强烈的感觉， 布鲁斯特的意思是：“我宁愿把自己想象成半英里赛跑者， 所以看着我吧。我相信我能打败雷德布鲁克。无论如何，我不担心其他的事情” 。
