Not only singers, but the modern equivalent of psaltery and tabret and cymbals, all have their place in Dr. Conwell's scheme of church service; for there may be a piano, and there may even be a trombone, and there is a great organ to help the voices, and at times there are chiming bells. His musical taste seems to tend toward the thunderous--or perhaps it is only that he knows there are times when people like to hear the thunderous and are moved by it.英文原著 · 《Acres of Diamonds》
But this never came to pass, for, as a feather, the billows softly bore them up and then down so gently; they felt it pass under them, with all its boiling surf and thunderous roar.

And the madness of all this movement, under the ever- darkening sky, accelerated the height of the intolerable clamour.英文原著 · 《AN ICELAND FISHERMAN》

And his terror had vanished. In its place surged a peevish irritation against the beast that had so frightened him. He groped for a rock-fragment to hurl up at the rackety collie. Then, the child paused in his fumbling. The dog had scant reason to love him or to seek his society.英文原著 · 《Further Adventures of Lad》
