　　YR: 我据说你交了个特帅的男友人!所以当然庆祝你一下喽!不过，咱俩是好友人，你居然瞒着我，所以我负气啦!

　　Jessica: What boyfriend? Where did you hear it?

　　YR: 大家都这么说啊。就是……啊……怎么说来着，street words say...

　　Jessica: Do you mean "word on the street"?

　　YR: 对!Word on the street is you've got a new boyfriend! 坊间传言，你交了新男友哦!

　　Jessica: Gosh! This is pure rumor! Yiru, you must tell me who told you this. I need to dispel this rumor!

　　YR: 我也是道听途说，这样吧，你告知我途说途说用美语怎么说，我就告诉你传谣言的人是谁! 英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　Jessica: Deal! 道听途说……Let me see...Okay, you can say "I heard something through the grapevine." Grapevine is spelt g-r-a-p-e-v-i-n-e.

　　YR: 哦，grapevine是葡萄藤的意思，I heard it through the grapevine 就是“通过葡萄藤听来的新闻”，也就是途说途说喽! 还有别的说法么?（注意，我们英语日常会话中不会的词汇要及时问出来，并且探讨还没有其他的表达方式）

　　Jessica: You can also say "a little bird told me." For example, if you don't want to tell others the source of your information, you can say "Let's just say I know because a little bird told me."

　　YR: 哈哈，真可爱，A little bird told me, 小鸟告诉我的!

　　Jessica: 好啦，当初你可以告诉我了吧?Who's spreading the rumor?

　　YR: Well, let's just say a little bird told me! 英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　Jessica: Hey! That's cheating, Yiru! Besides, if you say "a little bird told me," usually it means both you and I actually know the source of the information, but neither of us wants to say it. 可我当初不知道啊!

　　YR: 原来，在用a little bird told me的时候，大家对消息起源实在都心知肚明，只是故意不说。好吧，那我告诉你吧，切实---I heard the rumor through the grapevine! 英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com
