“鸦雀无声”,汉语成语,字面意思是“连乌鸦麻雀的声音都没有(not even a crow or sparrow can be heard)”,形容非常静。可以翻译为“utterly quiet; not a sound could be heard”。与英文惯用语“could hear a pin drop”意思相近,用来形容绝对的寂静(absolute silence)。

 

例句:


老板大发脾气后,会议室里鸦雀无声。
After the boss's outburst, the meeting room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.


他说完这句话之后,新闻发布室里鸦雀无声。
You could have heard a pin drop in the press briefing room after he said that.
