短释义：
Other hums are based on the musical hum, making a similar low, constant sound. Bees hum, an electric fan hums, and your car idling quietly also hums. A figurative way to hum is to be busy and loud: “The cafe always seemed to hum with activity.” The word hum is imitative (it sounds like the noise it describes), but its earliest form was hommen, in the 1500s, meaning “make a murmuring sound to cover embarrassment.”
哼唱是闭着嘴发出低沉、稳定的歌声。如果您不知道广播中歌曲的歌词，您可以跟着哼唱。

其他嗡嗡声基于音乐嗡嗡声，发出类似的低沉、持续的声音。蜜蜂嗡嗡作响，电风扇嗡嗡作响，安静怠速的汽车也嗡嗡作响。嗡嗡声的一种比喻方式是忙碌而大声：“咖啡馆似乎总是充满活力。” hum 这个词是模仿性的（听起来像它所描述的噪音），但它最早的形式是 hommen，出现于 1500 年代，意思是“发出低声的声音来掩盖尴尬”。

在太阳升起之前来到这座城市，街灯闪闪发光，巴黎的一天开始热闹起来，这是一件非常愉快的事情。

When Sierra first heard the humming, it wasn’t because it had just started then; it sounded as though it had been going on for a while.

词源：
hum (v.)late 14c., hommen “make a murmuring sound to cover embarrassment,” later hummen “to buzz, drone” (early 15c.), probably of imitative origin. Sense of “sing with closed lips” is first attested late 15c.; that of “be busy and active” is 1884, perhaps on analogy of a beehive. Related: Hummed.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
hum (v.) 14世纪末，hommen“发出低语声以掩饰尴尬”，后来的hummen“嗡嗡作响，嗡嗡声”（15世纪早期），可能源于模仿。 “闭上嘴唇唱歌”的感觉在 15 世纪末首次得到证实； “忙碌而活跃”是1884年，也许是用蜂箱来比喻。相关：Hummed.相关条目及更多
