Phrase: Deafening Silence

bulaohu

又到了万般不愿地去上班的时候了...就发一个跟工作有些关系的短语吧 - deafening silence

字面意思可能有点自相矛盾，但中文有对应的句子 - 静得连根针掉地上都听的见

deafening silence也是这个意思 - 一种不自然的，令人窒息的安静。

造句:

CEO: "Now I have no option left but to announce that the board has approved a plan of laying off 20% of the staff in this room."

There is a deafening silence in every corner of the meeting room.
