backstay
Examples
- I had to cling tight to the backstay , and the world turned giddily before my eyes ; for though i was a good enough sailor when there was way or this standing still and being rolled about like a bottle was thing i never learned to stand without a qualm or so , above all in the morning , on an empty stomach
我不得不紧紧抓住后牵索，只觉得眼前天旋地转。因为我虽然在航行时适应了海上的颠晃，但像这样站在那里像只瓶子似地转，站稳不发晕的本事我还没学会，特别是在早上空腹的时候。
