他們聽到北風(fēng)的低低的哀叫聲，亨利叔叔和多蘿茜看到風(fēng)暴到來之前的草原，像波浪似的起伏著。
Then now came a sharp whistling in the air from the south, and as they turned their eyes that way they saw ripples in the grass coming that direction also.

"There's a cyclone coming, Em." he called to his wife. "I'll go look after the stock."

When she was halfway across the room there came a great shriek from the wind, and the house shook so hard that she lost her footing and sat down suddenly upon the floor.
