gunnels meaning in English

冈纳尔斯

But he put his foot on the gunnel and rocked her , and shook his head , and said he reckoned he d look around for a bigger one . but they was all locked and chained ; so he took my canoe , and said for me to wait till he come back , or i could hunt around further , or maybe i better go down home and get them ready for the surprise if i wanted to
不过他在船边上踩了踩，晃了一晃，随后摇了摇脑袭，说最好由他在附近找一条大一些的船，不过，附近的船都是锁上拴好了的，所以他只得坐我们的那条独木舟，要我在这里等他回来，我也可以在附近继续找一找，或者最好是到下边家里走一走，好叫他们对惊喜有个准备。
