On a recent morning, one group was stationed in the hallway singing “Frère Jacques” in Mandarin; in a classroom, another group was imitating the sound of rain on a giant drum (it was pouring outside).

在最近一天的一个早上，有一个组被分配站在走道中用汉语唱《雅克兄弟》；在教室中，另外一组用一个巨大的鼓模仿下雨的声音（外面也确实正在下雨）。

A few months later, some emergency really occurred in the State of Chu. The drum outside the palace gate sounded from early morning until night.

隔了几个月，楚国真的发生了紧急情况，宫门外的鼓“咚咚咚”地从早晨一直响到晚上。
