sound of steam whistle Explanation: "拉过" literally means "pulled already". But here it should be read with 回声. 回声 means the steam whistle of the coming ship. There is a lever that controls the steam whistle on the ship. The captain pulls the lever to sound the steam whistle, signaling the arrival of the ship. So, the sentence "已经听得拉过回声" here means "(I) already heard the sound of the steam whistle". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28分钟 (2021-07-19 02:00:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 回声 means the sound of steam whistle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_whistle https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%9B%9E%E5%A3%B0/2412 |

not translate Explanation: 回声：指轮船抵达码头时拉响汽笛发出的信号。 茅盾 《子夜》一：“不错，不错，姑老爷。已经听得（汽船）拉过回声。” 已经听得拉过回声：I've heard the the whistle from the steamship. here you don't have to translate “拉过”, it can be skipped, it'll be enough to use "from". https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%9B%9E%E5%A3%B0/2412 |
