炮声

This cloud-seeding program has increased rainfall close to the river's source, says Binming, though some Tibetans complain these noisy fusillades anger the gods.

黄斌明说，这种云层催雨项目已经在接近河源地区增加了降雨，尽管一些藏族人抱怨这些吵杂的炮声恼了上苍。

I remember the arty prep well, as the guns were lined up behind us, and the noise was constant for quite a while, with the rumble kind of growing louder up and down the line as the different batteries were firing, and although we'd had some pretty impressive preps go out while we were at the sand wall, they were nothing like this.

我记得当时的炮火准备很充足，那时候火炮在我们身后一字排开，炮声持续了相当长的一段时间，随着不同炮兵连的射击轰隆声此起彼伏，尽管还没有出击时我们在沙墙的位置上就对此有所准备，但还是没有想象到会是这样。

In the smoke, deafened by the incessant booming of the cannons that made him shudder every time one was fired, Tushin ran from one cannon to the other, his short pipe never out of his mouth. At one moment he was taking aim, then reckoning the charges, then arranging for the changing and unharnessing of the killed and wounded horses, and all the time shouting in his weak, shrill, hesitating voice.

不断地隆隆作响的炮声震耳欲聋，每一次射击都使图申颤栗，在这一股硝烟中，他没有放下他的小烟斗，从一门炮跑到另一门炮，时而瞄准，时而数数发射药，时而吩咐换掉死马和负伤的战马，重新套上战马；用他那微弱而尖细、缺乏果断的嗓音不断地喊叫。

At other sites Veolia has to use falcons, cannons, scarecrows, sonar and other gadgets to scare off the birds that try to scavenge on the rubbish, but not at Pitsea, because the surrounding wetlands are among Britain's few remaining breeding grounds of the black-tailed godwit.

在别的地方Veolia公司不得不使用能发出炮声的，稻草人，声纳和其他新式小工具来吓跑那些想要以垃圾为食的飞禽，可是这方法在Pitsea行不通，因为该地区附近的湿地是黑尾长嘴涉水鸟在英国仅存的几个繁殖地之一。

Although there were no shops in the area, firecrackers were still cracking in the distance, and every now and then the darkness would be lit up by a double-explosion rocket or one of those known as " Five Devils Resisting Judgment".

这一带没有什么铺户，可是远处的炮声还继续不断，时时的在黑空中射起个双响或五鬼闹判儿。

A confusion of helmets, of cries, of sabres, a stormy heaving of the cruppers of horses amid the cannons and the flourish of trumpets, a terrible and disciplined tumult; over all, the cuirasses like the scales on the hydra.

无数的铁盔、吼声、白刃，还有马尻在炮声和鼓乐声中的奔腾，声势猛烈而秩序井然，显露在上层的便是龙鳞般的胸甲。

I am there again.Again the long roll of the drummers

又是炮声庄我倾听着的耳朵的反应。

He could not hear the guns of the forts.

屠杀的大炮声他是听不见的。

When the ship's gun stopped firing,I went back to the stockade.

炮声停止后，我回到寨子里。

I thought it was fireworks, but soon realised something was wrong and that there was gunshots too.

我以为是着火了，但是不久就意识到情况不对，还有枪炮声。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
