釋義:
break the news to 向某人傳達新聞
緊急新聞叫做 break news,就像大部分的緊急消息都不是什么好消息一樣,break the news to somebody 主要表示“將不好的消息傳達給某人”。
例句:
I just accidentally broke the news of her infidelity to her husband.
我剛剛不小心把她的緋聞告訴了她丈夫。
I imagine that you were pissed off when she broke the news.
在聽到她的消息之后,我猜你非常生氣。
Let's go break the news.
我們去傳達消息吧。
