hum
 noun
 zunido
EN From hence the low murmur of his pupils' voices, conning over their lessons, might be heard in a drowsy summer's day, like the hum of a bee-hive; interrupted now and then by the authoritative voice of the master, in the tone of menace or command; or, peradventure, by the appalling sound of the birch, as he urged some tardy loiterer along the flowery path of knowledge.
GL Dende alí podía oírse o murmurio das voces dos alumnos repasando as súas leccións nun somnolento día de verán, que semellaba o zunido dun enxame de abellas, continuamente interrompido pola voz autoritaria do mestre, cun ton de superioridade ou de mandato, ou, se cadra, polo temible son dunha vara, que incitaba a algún lacazán a penetrar no fermoso mundo da educación.
