yr: jessica, congratulations! and i'm mad at you!

jessica: what? why? what's going on?

yr: 我听说你交了个特帅的男朋友!所以当然恭喜你一下喽!不过,咱俩是好朋友,你居然瞒着我,所以我生气啦!

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,你告诉我道听途说用美语怎么说,我就告诉你传谣言的人是谁!

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"通过葡萄藤听来的消息",也就是道听途说喽!还有别的说法么?

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,现在你可以告诉我了吧?who's spreading the rumor?

yr: well, let's just say a little bird told me!

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. 可我现在不知道啊!

yr: 原来,在用a little bird told me的时候,大家对****其实都心知肚明,只是故意不说。好吧,那我告诉你吧,其实i heard the rumor through the grapevine!

jessica: hey!

yr: 今天我们学的内容包括:
