But soon there arose from some remote part -- it might easily have been either cellar or attic -- a stertorous, monotonous, regular snoring, a dull, prolonged rumbling, varied by tremors like those of a boiler under pressure of steam.

但过不了一会儿，不知从什么方，从说不清哪个方向，许从，许从阁楼，响起了一阵有力的、单调的、有节奏的鼾，一种低沉而持续的音，还带着汽锅在蒸汽的压力下颤抖的响。

Breathing stertorous noises, the woman came back into the living room and stood swaying in the doorway with the tape-tied package.

个女人呼吸着嘶哑的音， 回到客厅，摇摇晃晃站在门口， 手里拿着用胶带绑着的包裹。
