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.

劳里和乔划条船，布鲁克先生和内德划条，而脾气暴躁双胞胎弗雷德·沃恩 (Fred Vaughn) 则像只受惊水虫样在渡船里划来划去，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怎么能做到这点，在我们国家，最小渡轮就等于我们中流战士；我能驾驭这样艘船永远不会在他们任何河流中生活。
