NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS

英文諺語 NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS 無消息即是好消息

米德佳提供中文到英文翻譯服務,含英文編修
Not hearing any news signifies that nothing is wrong; having no information means that bad developments are unlikely. The proverb is from the old days, over a 100 years ago. Back then when illness and death was so frequent, and communication was by letter or telegram, when news came it was too frequently that someone was ill or died. National or international news that someone would take the trouble to communicate also tended to be the bad, more spectacular news.
EXAMPLE
Bob: “I wonder if Jill is doing all right in her new job?"
Sarah: “No news is good news."
ORIGIN
The first recorded use of this exact expression in English is by James Howell in 1640, who wrote, “I am of the Italians’ mind that said, ‘Nulla nuova, buona nuova’ (no news, good news). Some years before that, James 1 of England (VI of Scotland) wrote, “No News is better than evil news".
