One way to hold this word: a sound so big that it takes your hearing for a moment. Everything else in your ears goes under it, so while it lasts you cannot hear your own voice or the person beside you. Both uses of deafening stand on that one picture of ears that have been filled right up.
可以想成一個畫面:聲音大到把耳朵整個塞滿。在那一瞬間,別的聲音全被壓在底下。你聽不見自己講話,也聽不見旁邊的人。deafening 的兩種用法,都是從這個「耳朵被塞滿」的畫面長出來的。
