His cry for help and for a more meaningful relationship between himself and Mildred invariably fell on deaf ears.

fell 是动词 fall 的过去式,在这里表示"落到、降临"的意思。 on 是介词,表示"在...之上",这里与 fall 搭配表示"落在...上"。 deaf 是形容词,意思是"聋的",引申为"不愿意听的"。 ears 是名词 ear 的复数形式,指"耳朵"。 fall on deaf ears 是一个固定短语,字面意思是"落在聋的耳朵上",实际含义是"被忽视、不被听取",形容说的话或请求没有得到回应或重视。
