In midmost of the stream, embraced in the weir's shimmering arm-spread, a small island lay anchored, fringed close with willow and silver birch and alder. 在大坝那闪光的臂膀环抱中,安卧着一个小岛,四周密密层层长着柳树、白桦和赤杨。
Venn walked faster than Thomasin, and came to the weir alone.
维恩走路比托玛茜快,一个人先到了坝上。

Its origin was unmistakable—it was the fall of a body into the stream in the adjoining mead, apparently at a point near the weir.
那声音的来源明白无误——那是一个人的身体落到了附近的那条河里,而且很明显,就在靠近那条水坝的地方。

Denis looked down, and could discern a few tree-tops waving and a single speck of brightness where the river ran across a weir.
丹尼斯低头看去, 可以辨认出一些树梢在摇摆, 河流流经堰的地方有一点点亮光。

They have also built stone weirs across these canals at regular intervals, to slow the current down still further and encourage water to spill over the canal banks.
他们还在渠道上一定的位置建上了石堰堤,这样做一方面可以降低水的流速,另一方面还可以使水流溢出堰堤。

" Run home with her, call the stable lad, and make him send down to me any men who may be living near. Somebody has fallen into the weir."
There we had a delightful swim in the broad piece of water above the lock, where the river looked much bigger than its natural size from its being dammed up by the weir.
Yeobright seized the one on his side and hastened on; Wildeve did not wait to unfasten the other, but followed at once along the meadow track to the weir, a little in the rear of Clym.
A weir/ˈwɪər/ is a barrier across a river designed to alter its flow characteristics. In most cases, weirs take the form of obstructions smaller than most conventional dams, pooling water behind them while also allowing it to flow steadily over their tops. Weirs are commonly used to alter the flow of rivers to prevent flooding, measure discharge, and help render rivers navigable. Weirs are also used in the study of returning salmonids.
