“哑雀无声”是一句汉语成语,字面意思是指“连乌鸦麻雀的声音都没有(not even a crow or sparrow can be heard)”,用来形容安静得不可思议的状态。可以翻译为“utterly quiet; not a sound could be heard”。与英文惯用语“could hear a pin drop”含义相近,用来形容绝对的寂静(absolute silence)。
例句:
领导大发脾气后,会议室里哑雀无声。
After the boss's outburst, the meeting room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
他讲完这句话后,新闻发布室里哑雀无声。
You could have heard a pin drop in the press briefing room after he said that.
