Footsteps announced his return.
听脚步声就知道他回来了。
这是一句很生动、很地道的英文表达。announce,正式的宣布,宣告。可以是宣布一个晚宴的开始,announce dinner;可以是宣告婚期,announce marriage;还可以是广播电台的节目,announce program。而在这个句子中,announce对应的英文的解释是“To proclaim the presence or arrival of”,即,显示、展现某种状态。
例句:
Numart's drawings for the "Daily Sentence" have announced his talent.
numart为“每日一句”画的图片显示了他的才华。
