我记得，当我们听到消息的时候，都抓着修女的手哭。

I remember holding the nun's hand and crying when we heard.

他听到这个坏消息的时候伤心得说不出话来。

He was too sad to say anything when he heard the bad news.

但我转念又想，这有点不太礼貌，而且有时候听到真诚的消息也挺好的，比如有人订婚了，或者有孩子了。

But then I thought that would be rude and sometimes it's nice to hear genuine news, such as someone is getting engaged or having a kid.
