" You're speaking volumes, my friend, and tonight we're doing short poems only."

“亲爱的朋友，你讲得好深奥。今晚我们只讨论短诗。”

I thought my annoyed silence was speaking volumes.

我觉得这种令人不快的沉默胜过千言万语。

Before we get started, I want to make sure that you're in a place where you feel comfortable talking at your normal speaking volume.

在我们开始之前，我想要先确认一下，你们现在是在一个可以非常舒适地用自己一般的说话音量说话的地方。
