聽力每日練習(xí) listen 1079 Hear A Pin Drop

 
2--What does this phrase mean?
 
1--Let's see whether we can find out by listening to an American English conversation.
 
2--I can't believe he said that. And then the room was so quite. Nobody said a word.
 
1--Really?
 
2--Pins are small and don't make noise when they fall to the floor.
 
1--So when you say you can "hear a pin drop," it means that the room is silent.
 
2--Usually, that's because the people are surprised or excited about something.

===================================
譯文：
 
1--如果你聽過(guò)美式英語(yǔ)或者看過(guò)美國(guó)電視，你可能聽到過(guò)“Hear a pin drop（異常安靜）”。
這個(gè)短語(yǔ)是什么意思呢？
2--下面來(lái)聽聽一個(gè)美式對(duì)話，看看我們能否找到該短語(yǔ)所要表達(dá)的意思。
1--我不能相信他所說(shuō)的。之后房間變得很安靜。沒(méi)有人說(shuō)話。
2--真的？ 
1--是呀，真是安靜的連針掉在地上都聽得見。
2--針是很小的。當(dāng)它們調(diào)到地上時(shí)，是不會(huì)發(fā)出很大的噪音的。
1--所以當(dāng)你說(shuō)你可以“聽見針掉在地上的”，這意味著房間很安靜。
2--一般來(lái)說(shuō)，是因?yàn)槿藗儗?duì)某事感到驚訝或者興奮（地說(shuō)不出話）。
