tocsin

The Government, with an army in its hand, hesitated; the night was almost upon them, and the Saint-Merry tocsin began to make itself heard..政府手里有着军队，却还在犹豫不决，天快黑了，人们开始听到圣美里的警钟。

The one which was blowing at that moment brought clearly defined drum-beats, clamors, platoon firing, and the dismal replies of the tocsin and the cannon..现在可以听到清晰的战鼓声、叫嚣声、小分队的枪声，沉郁的警钟和炮声在相互呼应。

In the midst of all these convulsions of the bell mingled with the revolt, the clock of Saint-Paul struck eleven, gravely and without haste; for the tocsin is man; the hour is God..在这一片狂敲猛打的钟声和喧腾哗乱的人声中，圣保罗教堂的时钟庄严舒缓地敲着十一点，警钟是人的声音，时钟是上帝的声音。
