I feel so sorry for the mother.

No wonder she was so disconsolate when they tried to speak to her.
I wouldn’t want to talk either.

A: Yes, you can see that her life is very gloomy now.

B: It is a miserable world we live in sometimes.
Wouldn’t you agree?
A: 那个孩子的故事太沉重了。
我真为孩子的母亲感到难过。

B: 没错，被绑架是不幸中的不幸。

如果是我，我也不想说话。
