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.

但是过不了一会儿，不知从什，从说不清哪个向，也许是从窖，也许是从阁楼，响起了一阵有力的、单调的、有节奏的鼾声，那是一种低沉而持续的声音，还带在蒸的压力下颤抖的声响。

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

那个女人呼吸嘶哑的声音， 回到客厅，摇摇晃晃站在门口， 手里拿用胶带绑的包裹。
