这两个词的区别我懂，"silent"可以用于更广泛的语境，不仅仅是指声音方面的缺失，还可以表示没有交流或没有言语表达的状态。"silence"则更加专注于声音或说话的缺失，通常与安静和宁静相关。给大家简单总结了两个词的含义、发音以及用法，先大概的了解一下~~

其实这没有任何特别的意思，意思就是“从安静中，从晚上来”这是一首歌的歌词，歌名是Lullaby For Cain（给cain的摇篮曲）而唱歌的人是爱尔兰的歌手，写作歌的女人，叫做 Sinéad O'Connor。
From the silence, from the night从安静，从夜晚来

And lot of loved和很多的亲人

Sing a lullaby.唱一首摇篮曲
Mother is close by.妈妈就在旁边
Innocent days无辜的数天
Such innocent eyes这么无辜的眼睛
And he stole your brother's life,他偷走了你哥哥的生命
Came home murdered, peace of mind.回家后杀害，和平的心态
Left you nightmares on the pillow.把噩梦留在你的枕头上
Sleep now睡吧
Soul, surrendering your soul,灵魂，交出你的灵魂
The heart in you not whole在你里面的心脏不适完整的
For love, but love walked on为了你的爱，但爱走了
Cast into the dawn投入曙光
Branded with the mark.被标上标示
Oh, shame of Cain.哦，这是耻辱啊Cain
