What would you do?

What would you do if your friend shared some news that you thought was wrong?

In the past, I would have expressed my disagreement directly. But I've found that it might hurt my friends sometimes.

Recently I just let it go if it was not a big issue.

Not just because I love my friends, but also because I think it's natural that everyone has different thoughts.


若朋友分享了一些你认为是错误的消息,你会怎么做?

如果是以前,我会直接表达自己的不同意见。但我发现有时这可能会伤害我的朋友。

最近,如果不是什么大问题,我就不去管它了。

不仅仅是因为我爱我的朋友,还因为我认为每个人有不同的想法是很自然的。

Thank you!

What would you do if your friend [shared some news] that you thought was [wrong]?

To me, “shared some news that you thought was wrong” doesn’t really make sense. “Shared some news” means either “told you about something that happened” or “sent you a link to a news article.” Both “something that happened” and “a link to a news article” tend to be based on objective facts and therefore unlikely to be things that you would judge as right or wrong, so I’m having trouble figuring out what you mean.

Could you be more specific than “shared some news”? Maybe you mean “told you about something they’d done/said/thought”?

“Wrong” is also problematic. Since you mean that the news itself was wrong, something more specific like “inaccurate” would be better, in my opinion.

In the past, I would have expressed my disagreement directly.

But I've found that ithis might have hurt my friends sometimes.

Recently I have just [let | been letting] it go if it wais not a big issue.

I revised my correction to this sentence, again.

[I’m doing this not | Not] just because I love my friends, but also because I think it's natural that everyone has different [thoughts | opinions].

Technically your original sentence is incomplete, but it’s OK to write that way casually.

“Opinions” make more sense to me here than “thoughts.”

Thank you!

Well, talk about "be based on objective facts and therefore unlikely to be things that you would judge as right or wrong" -- Now I'll let it go, and the old I'll ask you how about the conflicting accounts of the same event on both sides of the war in the Middle East.

In that case, it isn’t the news (the events) that are wrong, but the news story—the account of the news. If this is what you mean, you could say, “…if your friend shared a news story that you felt was inaccurate,” or “gave what you thought was an inaccurate account of some news.”

No problem. I’ve added a comment about “wrong.”

I think if it is not hurting anyone, or if it is not hurtful to anyone, I let it go.
