小艇

When that animal comes close to land, as it does at the Hawaiian archipelago, the results are dramatic."The garbage patch barfs, and you get a beach covered with this confetti of plastic," he added.

有五分之一的垃圾是从船只与钻油台所丢弃的垃圾，从足球、小艇、乐高积木到手提袋都被人们丢弃在这片海洋上；其余的来自陆地。

The Coast Guard says it will continue to search waters off Florida's GulfCoast for three missing boaters.

We had a very good voyage to the Brazils, and I arrived in the Bayde Todos los Santos, or All Saints' Bay, in about twenty-two daysafter.

我们仅存的一线希望是，进入一个海湾或河口，侥幸把小艇划进去；或划近避风的陡岸，找到一片风平浪静的水面。

Turning around,I sawthe gigantic armed transport vessel, the dark green side of which blocked my upward viewsilently.The echocreated by the refractionof my view in the mistkept beatingmy broad chest.On the vessel, two pairs of boat davits werelying idle. Theircolossallight grey steel frames resembled crab legs that stood on end andprotrudedfrom both sides.

回首，庞大的武装运输舰，正以郁绿的舷壁无言地挡回我仰视的目光，目光在鸿蒙中折射的回声，撞击著我空阔的胸腔；舰艗上空闲出来的两对小艇吊架，浅灰色的巨形钢架，犹如倒竖的蟹脚向两侧伸起。

We work'd on, but the Water encreasing in the Hold, it was apparent that the Ship would founder, and tho' the Storm began to abate a little, yet as it was not possible she could swim till we might run into a Port, so the Master continued firing Guns for Help; and a light Ship who had rid it out just a Head of us ventured a Boat out to help us.

我们继续不断地抽水，但底舱里进水越来越多。我们的船显然不久就会沉没。这时，尽管风势略小了些，但船是肯定不可能驶进港湾了。船长只得不断鸣枪求救。有一艘轻量级的船顺风从我们前面飘过，就冒险放下一只小艇来救我们。

On bright, calm days they lie in thousands on the now darkening water, mostly yellow flotillas of popular, floating continuously down from great trees that themselves shake in the windless air with the sound of falling water ,but on rainy days or after rain they seem to swim or be driven away ,and nothing remains to break the surface except the last of the olive –yellow lily pads that in high summer covered every inch of water like plates of emerald porcelain.

这些数叶大多是杨树叶，如一列列黄色小艇般不停地从那些无风也簌簌的高大树木上落下来，落雨般淅淅沥沥。但是在雨天或雨后，它们却飘得无影无踪，或像被什么赶走了，此时湖上只剩下橄榄黄色的睡莲碎片，在盛夏时，碧绿的莲叶曾像盏盏翡翠玉盘一样把整个湖面盖得密不透风。

What the Shore was, whether Rock or Sand, whether Steep or Shoal, we knew not; the only Hope that could rationally give us the least Shadow of Expectation, was, if we might happen into some Bay or Gulph, or the Mouth of some River, where by great Chance we might have run our Boat in, or got under the Lee of the Land, and perhaps made smooth Water.

等待着我们的海岸是岩石还是沙滩，是陡岸还是浅滩，我们一无所知。我们仅存的一线希望是，进入一个海湾或河口，侥幸把小艇划进去；或划近避风的陡岸，找到一片风平浪静的水面。

A number of magazines and handbooks exist to show hopeful handymen of all ages just how easy it is to build anything from a coffee table to a fifteen foot (4.5 meters) sailing dinghy. All you need, it seems, is a hammer and a few nails.

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.
