What was he to do? Ah, he had it, a towing rope of braided grass, just the thing.

他怎么办？有了，用草编织的托绳一定可以。

They were winding in the tow rope which had just been cast loose from the " Pound of Candles" .

他们正缠绕着刚从“一磅蜡烛” 上松开的拖绳。

The speedboat drifted to a stop and the man in the water came up to it in a lazy crawl, then went back along the tow rope and rolled himself on to the surfboard.

快艇漂流停了下来，水中的人懒洋洋地爬到快艇上，然后顺着拖绳返回，滚上了冲浪板。
