swallow one's tears
weep silent tears
- 他一听到这个消息就吞声饮泣。
He gulped down sobs at the news. - 我的朋友,面对这些过去我也曾反复考虑过的情况,我只能吞声饮泣,而且这些事情出自于您父亲嘴里,这就更加证明了它们是非常现实的。
I wept in silence, my dear, as I listened to all these considerations which had already occurred to me many times, for now, on your father's lips, they seemed even more pressing and real.
