2008.01.15 : He didn't know it until I put a bug in his ear.
我向他透露之后他才知道這件事。
----------------------------------------------------------------------
在put a bug in one's ear這個(gè)短語(yǔ)中,bug不是“蟲(chóng)子”的意思,而是“想法,消息”之類(lèi)(idea, notion or information)。整個(gè)短語(yǔ)的意思就是,以微妙、慎重的方式向另一個(gè)人傳遞有用的信息(To impart useful information to (another) in a subtle, discreet way)。
例句:
I know you want to transferred to the sales department. I'll put a bug in the boss' ear for you.
我知道你想調(diào)到銷(xiāo)售部去。我會(huì)往老板耳朵里吹吹風(fēng)。
海納百川,有容乃大;壁立千仞,無(wú)欲則剛。
