thunderclaps

Since our weapons made no sound when they went off, they would have only a moderate effect on these islanders, who reputedly respect nothing but noisy mechanisms. Without thunderclaps, lightning bolts would be much less frightening, although the danger lies in the flash, not the noise.

我们的武器没有砰砰的声响，对于这些土人只能有一种很平常的效力，因为他们所害怕的是宏大的炮声，雷电的危险虽然在闪光而不在声响。但如果没有隆隆的轰击，也很少有人害怕。

Some said they saw lightning as far away as Los Angeles International Airport about 30 minutes before the thunderclaps in Venice.

The increasing distance between thunderclaps meant the storm was moving away.
