how to show emotion

兰颜知己

when someone tells me sth. sad or bad, i want to say sth, but the funny mistake I made is : sorry about that.

2 p+ n$ w, n% E6 j4 XI thought it means I'm sorry to hear that, but the respones is : it's not your fault,
5 b& `" n. z1 o! i* Z$ b9 o) \; }
, Q! z1 q7 R, m4 z& r  l1 _- Jso , would anyone tell me the right answer? Pls

tks.

i guess it is ok to say that “i am sorry to hear that" or "sorry about..." or "i am sad to hear...”

不对呀,楼上的,当我说"sorry about that",人家的回答是:it's not your fault.

$ n, W$ \% Q* Z+ q6 o+ V5 P很显然:sorry about that 的意思绝非:听到这消息很遗憾或很抱歉,而且"很对不起",因此人家会说:这不是你的错.
" o# |5 ?+ d" a/ q' H; e$ X: Y; \! \
8 R7 W* l9 f$ U' k6 b1 W0 b这也就是我发贴的问题.

"I am sorry" or "Sorry about that" is the simplified usage of "I am sorry to hear that".  Although the respones is " It's not your fault," IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!
