Robinson and his new friend went down the long flight of steps to the harbour basin—very high steps, steep and slippery.

罗宾逊和他的新朋友走下通往海港盆地的长长的台阶——很高的台阶， 又陡又滑。

I'll meet friends for a swim rather than a coffee, and have playdates sitting beside the harbour basins as the kids make the most of the water.

我会和朋友们一起游泳，而不是喝咖啡；我会和孩子们一起坐在港湾的水池边玩耍，让孩子们尽情享受海水。
