Title: μούγκα στη στρούγκα → there was a deadly hush, silence of the lambs
Post by: spiros on 15 Jul, 2008, 22:59:44

Μιας και μιλήσαμε για στρούγκα (https://www.translatum.gr/forum/index.php?topic=22487.0) ας μιλήσουμε και για τη μούγκα.

Μούγκα στη στρούγκα, λοιπόν.

Το μόνο που μου έρχεται είναι:
There was a deadly silence
There was a deadly hush

Silence of the lambs (a.k.a. Η σιωπή των αμνών)

Χμμ, ενδιαφέρον Ζαζ, σε register όμως δεν μου βγαίνει και πολύ ισοδύναμο.

The sound of silence .... Alternative: The sound / chirping (?) of crickets ...

For this last suggestion refer here:
In English-speaking comedy, the sound of crickets may be used to humorously indicate a dead silence when a response or activity is expected. ...
