The hammering from the pit

从矿井里发出的枪声

And the pounding of guns grew louder

枪声越来越大

My fear rose

我的恐惧油然而生

At the sound of someone creeping into the house

听到有人偷偷溜进房子的声音

Then I saw it was a young artilleryman

Weary streaked with blood and dirt

筋疲力尽浑身沾满鲜血与尘土

Anyone here

They haven't seen the heat ray yet

We hurried along the road to Weybridge

我们匆匆地沿着去威布里奇的路走去

Suddenly there was a heavy explosion

突然一声巨大的爆炸

The ground heaved windows shattered

大地翻滚窗户支离破碎

And gusts of smoke erupted into the air

一阵又一阵的浓烟直冲云霄

Look There they are What did I tell you

看他们来了我怎么跟你说的

Quickly one after the other

一个接一个

Four of the fighting machines appeared Monstrous

四架战斗机出现了怪物

Tripods higher than the tallest steeple

三脚架比最高的教堂还要高

Striding over pine trees and smashing them

大步越过松树将它们砸碎

Walking engines of glistening metal

行走的引擎闪闪发光

Each carried a huge funnel

每个人都带着一个巨大的漏斗

And I realised with horror

我恐惧地意识到

That I'd seen this awful thing before

A fifth machine appeared on the far bank

第五台机器出现在远处的岸上

And next

It raised itself to full height flourished

它扶摇直上茁壮成长

The funnel high in the air

漏斗在高空中

And the ghostly terrible heat ray struck the town

幽灵般可怕的热浪袭击着这个城镇

As it struck all five fighting machines

五架战斗机都被它击中

Exulted emitting deafening howls

欣喜若狂发出震耳欲聋的怒吼

That roared like thunder

像惊雷一样怒吼

Ulla Ulla

乌拉

The six guns we had seen now

我们看见的六把枪

Fired simultaneously decapitating a fighting machine

同时开火消灭一架战斗机器

The Martian inside the hood was slain splashed to the

街区里的火星人被杀害溅到了地上

Four winds and the body nothing now

狂风肆虐尸体荡然无存

But an intricate device of metal went whirling to destruction

但是一个错综复杂的金属装置在旋转中走向毁灭

As the other monsters advanced people

当其他怪物进化人类时

Ran away blindly the artillery man among them

盲目地逃跑其中就包括炮兵

But I jumped into the water

可我纵身跳进水中

Until forced up to breathe

直到奄奄一息

Now the guns spoke again

现在枪声再次响起

But this time the heat ray sent them to oblivion

Ulla

With a white flash the heat ray

Swept across the river

Scalded halfblinded and agonized

I staggered through leaping hissing water

Towards the shore I fell helplessly in full

View of the Martians expecting nothing

But death The foot of a fighting machine

Came down close to my head

Then lifted again as the four Martians

Carried away the debris of their fallen comrade

And I realized that by a miracle I had escaped

我意识到我逃过一劫是个奇迹
