The police boat edged gingerly nearer until only a foot separated the gunwales.

警船小心翼翼地靠近， 直到墙只隔了一英尺。

Huck was sitting on the gunwale of a flatboat, listlessly dangling his feet in the water and looking very melancholy.

哈克坐在一艘平底船的，双脚在水中无精打采地晃来晃去，一副十分忧郁的样子。

" Hard down with your tail, there! " cried a second to another, which, close to our gunwale, seemed calmly cooling himself with his own fan-like extremity.

“喂，放下你的尾巴！”又一个桨手对另一头鲸鱼大喊，它靠近我们的船，似乎正在平静地用它那扇子一样的尾巴在给自己扇风。

We have a piece of Edward III., with the king in a ship, and little leopards and fleurs-de-lys all along the gunwale, so delicately worked.

我们有一块爱德华三世的作品，国王在船， 船到处都是小豹子和百合花， 做工精细。

But she left her 'working' attitude and curled like a school-girl in the bow of the canoe, her elbows resting on her paddle which she had flung across the gunwales.

The thought made his belly heave again. Sam bent over the gunwale and retched, but not into the wind. He had gone to the right rail this time. He was getting good at retching.

一想到父亲，他又开始反胃。山姆俯身到船外呕吐，幸好这回不是逆风，这回他走对了方向。无论如何，他呕吐的水平越来越高了。

Clinging to the stempost, Ned Land thrust his harpoon again and again into the gigantic animal, which imbedded its teeth in our gunwale and lifted the longboat out of the water as a lion would lift a deer.

尼德兰紧靠在小艇前头，把鱼叉向巨大的动物刺去，这东西牙齿咬住小艇的边，把小艇顶出水面，像狮子咬小鹿那样。

I have always resented that jarring, unattractive name, for years ago, when I first plied paddle across the gunwale of a light little canoe, and idled about its margin, I named the sheltered little cove the Lost Lagoon.

我一直很讨厌这个刺耳的、没有吸引力的名字，因为多年前，当我第一次划轻便的小独木舟的船，在它的边闲逛时，我把这个隐蔽的小海湾命名为迷失泻湖。
