Loud poundings and howlings come through the floor. They are like the sounds of an injured beast.

震耳欲聋的重击声、怒吼声穿透了地板。就像是一头受伤的野兽在奋力地咆哮着。

一年四季，夜间沿着沼泽地的边界都能听到野生动物的嚎叫。

It was caused, Carty pointed out, by the circumstance that the telephone, like the telegraph, used a ground circuit for the return wire; the resultant scrapings and moanings and howlings were merely the multitudinous voices of mother earth herself.

卡蒂指出，这是由于电话像电报一样使用接地电路作为回线的情况造成的；由此产生的刮擦声、呻吟声和嚎叫声只是地球母亲自己的无数声音。
