a little bird told me

?

a little bird told me是一種非常詼諧的表達,意思是“有人告訴我”, 當你不想透露某個消息是誰告訴你時,就說是a little bird told me...

這個說法有個典故:在《圣經(jīng)》里,人類祖先躲在諾亞方舟里,為了看洪水是否退去, 就派了一只鳥兒去打探,所以a little bird就演變成了消息靈通的人士了。

said if you know who gave you the information being discussed but do not want to say who it was

你知道告訴你信息的這個人,但是不想告訴別人他是誰;無可奉告,我不說

A; How did you know he was leaving?

你怎么知道他要走了?

B: Oh, let's just say a little bird told me.

噢,有人告訴我的。
