A low rumbling sound had broken the silence around them.
一阵低沉的隆隆声划破了周围的寂静。
there was nothing about the sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over the country.
窗外浓云低垂的天空并没有丝毫迹象预示这地方即将发生神秘古怪的事情.
A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky, the very last place you would expect astonishing tings to happen.

It was smelly and very noisy because the occupants of these cages were all squeaking, squawking, jabbering, or hissing.
店里又臭又闹,因为笼子里的小生物都在发出各种叫声:吱吱声,咯咯声,喳喳声,嘶嘶声。
A pair of enormous purple toads sat gulping wetly and feasting on dead blowflies.
一对巨大的紫色蟾蜍以令人不舒服的姿态坐在那里,大口大口地吃着死丽蝇。
