Hearing the news of his sudden resignation, I couldn't believe my ears.

I can't believe my ears that he, who is usually gentle, said such a terrible thing.

The moment I heard that I won first prize in the lottery, I doubted my ears.

Kare no kuchi kara deta amarini mo migatte na iiwake ni, watashi wa mimi o utagatta.

I couldn't believe my ears at the incredibly selfish excuse that came out of his mouth.

Zutto akogarete ita daigaku ni gōkaku shita to iu denwa ni, isshun mimi o utagatta.

I doubted my ears for a moment when I got the phone call saying I had been accepted into the university I had always yearned for.
