Today we gaze out on to a silent river and a row of moored boats.
我们今天只看到一条寂静的河流，平底船在岸边被固定成一排。

The boats are broadside on the shore and each row is made fast, side by side, the whole secured by chains and anchored at the outer side to keep them in position.
船横靠在岸边，每条船都并排紧紧地绑在一起，链条穿起每条船保证安全，在外侧把锚放下固定它们的位置。

People have mused about the function of argonauts’ striking shell-like structures at least since Aristotle suggested that the animals sail or row them like boats.
