20080916NPRNEWS:
In some spots the storm muffled dozens of properties.
muffle: To wrap or pad in order to deaden the sound: 裹上使声音减弱:To deaden (a sound): 消音:使(声音)减弱或消失:
google了一下:
the storm muffled these shots
The storm muffled all sounds
the storm muffled to a dull roar
The worsening storm muffled the figure‘s footsteps
The torm muffled the crys
This particular storm muffled the sirens
The storm muffled the words he said
枪声、吼叫声、脚步声、汽笛声、说话声……,都与声音有关,而本例该怎么理解呢?
莫非是toppled,knocked,flooded,听起来都不是,也不像是大风改的levels。请高手指教!
