forked river 中文意思是什麼
forked river
解釋
福克德里弗-
We fixed up a short forked stick to hang the old lantern on, because we must always light the lantern whenever we see a steamboat coming down - stream, to keep from getting run over ; but we wouldn t have to light it for up - stream boats unless we see we was in what they call a " crossing " ; for the river was pretty high yet, very low banks being still a little under water ; so up - bound boats didn t always run the channel, but hunted easy water
我們豎起一根矮樹杈子,把那盞舊的燈掛了上去,因為每當有輪船往下游開來,我們必須點亮這盞燈,防止它把我們撞翻。不過,有上水的輪船開來,我們不用點燈,除非我們發現自己漂到了人家所說的「橫水道」上,因為河水還漲得很高,很低的河岸還有一小部分淹沒在水下,因此上水的船往往不闖這個水道,而尋找流得慢一些的水道走。
