Laurie and Jo rowed one boat, Mr. Brooke and Ned the other, while Fred Vaughn, the riotous twin, did his best to upset both by paddling about in a wherry like a disturbed water bug.

乔划着一条船，布鲁克先生内德划着另一条，而脾气暴躁双胞胎弗雷德·沃恩 (Fred Vaughn) 则像一只受惊水虫一样在渡船划来划去，尽最大努力搅乱两人。

But I could not see how this could be done in their country, where the smallest wherry was equal to a first-rate man of war among us; and such a boat as I could manage would never live in any of their rivers.

但我看不出在他们国家做到这一点，在我们国家，最小渡轮就等于我们中一流战士；我驾驭这样一艘船永远不会在他们任何河流中生活。
