So we slept all day amongst the cottonwood thicket , so as to be fresh for the work , and when we went back to the raft about dark the canoe was gone 所以我們便在密密的白楊叢里睡了一整天。等到擦黑我們回木筏那里,小劃子不見啦!
A turn ashore ll hurt nobody - the boats are still in the water ; you can take the gigs , and as many as please may go ashore for the afternoon 到岸上走走對任何人都沒有壞處劃子仍在水里,只要你們愿意,可乘劃子到岸上去呆一個下午。
I started across to the town from a little below the ferry - landing , and the drift of the current fetched me in at the bottom of the town 天黑以后,我便坐劃子前往伊利諾斯州的河岸那邊。我在渡口下面不遠處朝鎮(zhèn)子劃去。水流把我?guī)У搅随?zhèn)梢頭。
Daytimes we paddled all over the island in the canoe , it was mighty cool and shady in the deep woods , even if the sun was blazing outside 在大白天,我們坐了劃子劃遍了島上各處。即使大太陽在外面曬得熱辣辣的,密林深處還是到處樹蔭,一片陰涼。
There was a slight bend in the coast , and i steered so as to put it between us ; even before we landed we had thus lost sight of the gigs 岸線上有一處小小的拐角,我劃著劃子,使這個拐角正介于我們和對方之間,這樣,在登陸前他們便無法看到我們了。
We were all hard at work , changing the powder and the berths , when the last man or two , and long john along with them , came off in a shore - boat 當高個子約翰和最后的一兩個人劃著岸上的小劃子過來時,我們?nèi)荚谂Φ毓ぷ髦?,搬運火藥以及挪動鋪位。
With all this in our minds , we waded ashore as fast as we could , leaving behind us the poor jolly - boat , and a good half of all our powder and provisions 我們帶著所有這些想法,盡快地向岸上跑去,身后撤下了那只可憐的劃子,還有一大半的彈藥和給養(yǎng)。
But silver , from the other boat , looked sharply over and called out to know if that were me ; and from that moment i began to regret what i had done 但是西爾弗從另一條劃子上敏銳地掃視過來,喊了一聲,以便確定是否是我從那一刻起,我開始后悔這樣做了。
Redruth retreated from his place in the gallery , and dropped into the boat , which we then brought round to the ship s counter , to be handier for captain smollett 雷卓斯從過道上他把守的地方撤了下來,跳到了劃子里,接著我們便把劃子繞到了大船的另一側(cè)去接斯莫列特船長。
