Usage Note :

Note that, although news looks like a plural, it is often in fact an uncount noun. Good news is always worth waiting for. You cannot say 'a news', but you can say a piece of news when you are referring to a particular fact or message. One of my Dutch colleagues told me a very exciting piece of news. When you are talking about television and radio news, or about newspapers, you can refer to an individual story or report as a news item.

注意,虽然 news 看起来是复数名词,但事实上经常是不可数名词,如 Good news is always worth waiting for (好消息永远值得等待)。不能说 a news;但当指某一特定事实或消息时,可以说 a piece of news,如 One of my Dutch colleagues told me a very exciting piece of news (一位荷兰同事告诉了我一个特别令人兴奋的消息)。当谈论电视和广播新闻或报纸新闻时,可以把单独的故事或报道叫做 news item。

[PHRASE 短语]坏事/好事 If you say that something is bad news, you mean that it will cause you trouble or problems. If you say that something is good news, you mean that it will be useful or helpful to you.
