"Conspiracy of silence" có từ conspiracy là âm mưu -> cụm từ này nghĩa là giao kèo/thỏa thuận, rõ ràng hoặc không nói thành lời (bất thành văn), giữa các thành viên trong một nhóm về việc giữ kín/giữ bí mật thông tin mà nếu, để lộ ra, có thể gây tác hại đến toàn thể nhóm, đến lợi ích, hoặc các bên liên quan (của nhóm).

In a place heavily dependent on visitors entranced by the island’s jagged beauty, those who speak out against coastal (ven biển) development, building without permits (giấy phép), or the local drug trade, as Mr. Susini did, are at risk from forces seemingly omnipresent yet obscure who have terrorized Corsicans into a conspiracy of silence.
