There was a sudden stillness in the air.

By evening the storm had subsided and all was quiet again.

傍晚,暴风雨已经过去,四周开始沉寂下来.

The bustle and din gradually faded to silence as night advanced.

Again there was a short silence.

接着又是一阵短暂的沉寂。

The silence was broken only by the tick of the clock.

除了时钟的滴答声外,一片寂静.

The silence was broken by the whirring of a helicopter.

直升机的嗡嗡声打破了沉寂。

The deserted village was filled with a deathly silence.

The unearthly silence was broken by a shrill screaming.

In the silence we could hear the clock ticking.

寂静中，我们能听到钟表滴答作响。

Their footsteps echoed in the silence.

A deathly silence hung over the square.

He liked a hushed and dignified atmosphere.

The same heavy, brooding silence descended on them.

The silence was fathomless and overwhelming.

这种寂静深不可测，令人不知所措。

The room was silent except for John's crunching.

屋子里一片寂静，只有约翰发出的咀嚼声。

Any moment now the silence will be broken.

寂静随时会被打破。

The creaking of the hinges sounded very loud in that silence.

在那片寂静之中，铰链吱吱嘎嘎的声音听起来很响。

It was quiet now, the thunder had grumbled away to the west.

隆隆的雷声向西边传去，现在寂静下来了。

The stillness of night was broken by the boom of a cannon.

夜晚的寂静被隆隆的炮声打破。
