The fisherman brought a pike-pole from the tent and tied a crosspiece to the handle of it.

渔夫从帐篷里拿出一根长矛竿，在竿柄上系上了横档。

He sawed shorter lengths for crosspieces.

他锯了较短的横档。

First he made four stout legs and braced them firmly with crosspieces.

首先，他做了四根粗壮的腿，并用横梁将它们牢牢地固定住。

Then with the auger he bored holes through the crosspieces into the long slabs.

然后他用螺旋钻穿过横梁钻孔进入长板。

Then he cut a tent-flap into the shape of a triangle, the shorter side of which was just the width of the crosspiece.

然后他把一个帐篷的盖子剪成一个三角形，三角形短的一边正好与横档等宽。

This he tied tightly to the crosspiece, letting the canvas hang down so that the point of it could be grasped by the hand that held the mast steady.

他把这块三角形的帆布紧紧地绑在横档上，并垂下来，这样稳定桅杆的手同样可以抓住帆布的尖角。

There were eight of the pigs. The first thing I heard every morning at daybreak was the whole outfit crashing under the fence and rushing under the floor of my bedroom for a matutinal rubbing of backs against the crosspiece.

有八头猪。每天黎明时分，我听到的第一件事就是整套装备冲进篱笆下，冲进我卧室的地板下，在黎明时分用后背摩擦横梁。
