鐘聲滾出去
這一組就是核心畫面本身：鐘、鐘發出的聲音，以及把聲音送出去這件事。
noun · C1
The loud ringing sound made by a bell or by a set of bells, especially a sound that keeps going for a while and can be heard a long way off.
鐘聲；鐘響
核心畫面
Picture a heavy bell in a tower. Someone swings it, and the sound does not happen once and stop — it rolls out over the roofs in , one after another, loud enough that the whole town hears it without trying to. Everything peal does grows out of that picture. It can be the rolling sound itself, the act of making it, or the whole set of bells that produces it. And any other noise that behaves the same way can borrow it: thunder that keeps rolling after the flash, an organ filling a hall, a room full of laughter that will not stop.

可以想成鐘樓上一口大鐘被推動的畫面。聲音不是響一下就沒了。它一波一波滾出去，傳得很遠。整個鎮的人不用特別去聽也聽得到。peal 的每個用法都可以看成從這個畫面長出來的。它可以是那個滾出去的聲音，可以是發出聲音這個動作，也可以是塔上那一整組鐘。後來，任何形狀相同的聲響都能借用它：閃電之後還在滾的雷、灌滿大廳的管風琴、一屋子停不下來的笑。From the word’s history
Wiktionary traces peal to Middle English pele, peil, probably a shortened form of apel (appeal), from Old French apel, 'an appeal; the pealing of bells'. The old idea of calling out to people sits close to the modern picture: a peal is sound sent out so that everyone hears it.
Wiktionary 記載 peal 來自中古英語 pele、peil，很可能是 apel（appeal）省掉第一個音節的結果，再往上是古法語 apel，意思是「呼求」，同時也用來指敲鐘。「呼求」這個老意思，跟今天的畫面貼得很近：鐘聲本來就是在叫人——把大家召集起來、把消息送出去。所以 peal 一直帶著「送出去給人聽見」的味道。

一陣雷聲
鐘本身與敲鐘的整套做法
聲音的名字被拿去指兩樣東西：發出聲音的那一整組鐘，以及發出聲音的那一整套做法。這兩個用法都活在教會和敲鐘的圈子裡。
noun · C2
A set of bells that are tuned to go together, so that they can be rung as one group. You usually meet it in the pattern 'a peal of eight bells'.
