drop the anchor

Because there was no wind, the small boats pulled the ship three or four miles round the island, to a safe place to drop the anchor.

因为没有风，我们用小船拖着大船在岛的周围绕了三四英里，到一个安全的地方下锚。

If you wanna tie anchor to it and drop it right into the ocean, that's no problem, because plant fibers can stand up for months, even years, in direct contact with salt water.

如果你想把锚栓在它上面，然后直接把它扔进海里，那是没有问题的，因为植物纤维可以在直接接触海水的情况下存活数月甚至数年。

Load a picnic and a cool-box of beer and wine, and set off through the scattered islets. Drop anchor somewhere remote and dive off the deck for a swim.

想看一看历代渔民和海盗生活的地方，你可以去租一条船，带上野餐、冰啤酒和葡萄酒，驶过星星点点的小岛，在遥远的地方抛锚，跳下甲板去洗个澡。
