聽力每日練習 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.
 
===================================
注解：
 
1.conversation會話 
2.quite相當地 
3.Usually一般地 

===================================
譯文：
 
1--如果你聽過美式英語或者看過美國電視，你可能聽到過“Hear a pin drop（異常安靜）”。
這個短語是什么意思呢？
2--下面來聽聽一個美式對話，看看我們能否找到該短語所要表達的意思。
1--我不能相信他所說的。之后房間變得很安靜。沒有人說話。
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。當它們調到地上時，是不會發(fā)出很大的噪音的。
1--所以當你說你可以“聽見針掉在地上的”，這意味著房間很安靜。
2--一般來說，是因為人們對某事感到驚訝或者興奮（地說不出話）。
