1. Word on the street is Chad has a fan club.
聽說查得有個粉絲俱樂部。Word on the street is這個表達就是“坊間傳言”的意思，字面含義是街道上呢有一些這樣的話語 Word on the street is，來了解一下英文釋義：Word on the street is a rumor or piece of information that is currently being talked about. Word on the street表示流言蜚語或部分正在被討論的信息。Word on the street is Chad has a fan club. 聽說查得有個粉絲俱樂部。

2. I heard on the grapevine that she was pregnant, but I'm not sure.
Grapevine是“葡萄藤”的意思，也有“信息散播路徑，祕密信息網，謠言”等含義，“從哪聽說”“小道消息”用英語來講的話可以表達爲hear (something) on/through the grapevine。I heard on the grapevine that she was pregnant, but I'm not sure. 小道消息聽說她懷孕了，但我不能肯定。

3. A little bird told me that it's your birthday today!
對於生日這件事我不喜歡告訴太多人，收到意外祝福的時候，人家是這麼解釋的：A little bird told me that it's your birthday today!A little bird told me字面意思是一隻小鳥告訴我...，當老外說A little bird told me的時候，不是真的表示自己懂得鳥語，只是用開玩笑口吻避免透露消息來源，例如："How did you know he was going to resign?"（你是怎麼知道他會辭職的？）" Ah, a little bird told me."（啊，是小鳥告訴我的。）A little bird told me that it's your birthday today! 有個消息靈通的人告訴我今天是你的生日。
