【正确答案】Towards the dusk, it snowed for the moment while it soon stopped. It was so cold, all seemed to have been icy in the glacial air, even the air as if being about to be frozen. The boat I had hired has been at anchor at the bank when a flurry of snow fell. This has been the fifth night since I went upstream from Taoyuan County. As it looked as if there would also be a blizzard in the night, a suitable place at the bank has been chosen to anchor the boat. Except for a sandy place at the bank suitable for berth, the big black rocks, the size of houses, were scattered over other places. With the large rocks and small boat, we hoped to find a shelter from the wind in a place where we can go ashore. Wherever the boat can moor has been occupied by the local fishing boats. So, we can not fasten the pole of our boat in the way the same as other vessels, large and small, nor can we drop the rock which served as an anchor on to the sand, thus leaving the boat exposed to the coming blizzard.
