好长一段时间我没有接到监狱长的消息了；我寄给她一封信，谈到为汉娜找到房子和工作情形，如石沉大海，鸟无音讯。

For a long time I heard nothing from the warden; a letter in which I described the housing and job situation for Hanna went unanswered.

这只无名的鸟，有时听任自己留在笼栅之内，对自己低语着无束缚的不可知的外界的音讯。

The unknown bird sometimes surrenders itself within the bars of the cage to whisper tidings of the bondless unknown beyond.
