The only noise comes from a bulldozer smoothing the coal-mound and the cawing of rooks .
而唯一的噪音则是推土机铲平煤堆的声音与秃顶乌鸦的哀嚎声。
Mud-caked dogs roam empty streets , their barking and the cawing of crows the only sounds .
身上粘满泥土的狗在空荡的街道游荡,他们的吠叫和乌鸦的哑叫是这唯一的声响。
The open desolation at the foot of the walls and their towering height filled him with foreboding as he went , so much so that he even skirted crows scavenging on the rubbish heaps for fear of startling them into inauspicious cawing .
