The cat is out of the bag

Victor: Hi,大家好,我是Victor,

Nancy: Nancy!

Victor: 今天我们讨论的Topic是:

Nancy:The cat is out of the bag.

Victor:泄露秘密。

Nancy:In this case, the ‘cat’ refers to a secret.

Victor:这里的“cat”是秘密的意思。

Nancy:The ‘cat is out of the bag’ means the secret is out, someone has opened his or her mouth, and it’s not a secret anymore.

Victor:这句话是说秘密被公布出去就不再是秘密了。

Nancy:So when you tell someone a secret, and then it comes back to you, you can say, “The cat’s out of the bag now!”

Victor:你告诉别人的秘密又传到你耳朵里,就可以说“The cat’s out of the bag now!”,秘密被泄露了。

Nancy: That’s all for today. See you!

Victor: See you!
