If you tell somebody that the information is in the vault.

如果你告訴別人，資訊在保險庫裡。

Now if you think about a vault, a vault is a very protected room.

現在，如果你想一想金庫，金庫是一個非常受保護的房間。

Now off the record can go both ways.

This is especially used by journalists when they are interviewing someone and that person wants to tell the journalists something but he or she doesn't want that.

當記者在採訪某人時，這個人想告訴記者一些事情，但他或她不願意這樣做，這一點特別適用於記者。

Journalists to write about that information in the newspaper or on tv they will say it's off the record means it's not being recorded.

記者要在報紙或電視上寫下這些資訊，他們會說這是不公開的，意味著沒有被記錄。

Okay so here I want to share a secret with you here I'm telling you.

好了，所以在這裡我想和你分享一個祕密，在這裡我告訴你。

Go ahead.

請講。

I will keep it.

我將保留它。

No problem.

沒問題。

But of course secrets somehow tend to get out and we're gonna find out the language to talk about how the secret got out and became public.

但當然，祕密在某種程度上往往會被洩露，我們要找出語言來談一談這個祕密是如何被洩露並變得公開的。

Okay.

好的。

Okay so now it's time to look at the other side of the equation when somebody lets the information slip.

好了，現在是時候看看方程式的另一面了，當有人洩露資訊的時候。

Okay that's one of the expressions we're gonna look here.

好吧，這是我們要看的一個表達方式。

A very common idiom that we used to talk about revealing a secret is to let the cat out of the bag.

我們用來談論透露祕密的一個非常常見的成語是把貓從袋子裡放出來。

It's a little bit of a strange idiom.

這是個有點奇怪的成語。

It has nothing to do with secrets.

這與祕密沒有關係。

But a cat is very feisty.

但貓是非常好鬥的。

It wants to run around and make noise and make trouble.

它想到處跑，製造噪音，製造麻煩。

It's in the bag it's contained when you let it out it goes all over the place and does crazy things just like a secret can do.

它在袋子裡，被控制住了，當你把它放出來時，它就會到處亂跑，做一些瘋狂的事情，就像一個祕密可以做的那樣。

Okay.

好的。

Another expression is spill the beans.

另一種表達方式是 "撒豆成兵"。

I'm not exactly sure where this one came from but it's also an idiom to spill the beans means to share a secret with other people or to share information that's not public.

我不太清楚這個成語是怎麼來的，但它也是一個成語，溢美之詞是指與他人分享祕密或分享不公開的資訊。

Okay.

好的。

Now to rat someone out.

現在要告發某人了。

This is usually used for criminals.

這通常用於犯罪分子。

When one criminal tells the police what another criminal did.

當一個罪犯告訴警察另一個罪犯所做的事情。

But it doesn't have to be in school.

但不一定要在學校。

If a child does, if a student does something behind the teacher's back and then the teacher turns around and said who did that, then another student might say, oh it was billy.

如果一個孩子做了，如果一個學生在老師的背後做了什麼，然後老師轉過身來說是誰做的，那麼另一個學生可能會說，哦，是比利。

So Billy ratted out, Oh sorry paul ratted out Billy.

是以，比利告發了，哦，對不起，保羅告發了比利。

Now the problem is that we would call paul the person who gave the secret a rat or we would call him a snitch.

現在的問題是，我們會稱提供祕密的保羅為告密者，或稱他為告密者。

But I'll talk about snitch again in a second.

但我一會兒再談告密者的問題。

So to rat someone out means to reveal the identity of the person who's trying to keep something secret.

是以，告發某人的意思是揭露試圖保守祕密的人的身份。

Okay now to give something away to give something away has many meanings.

好了，現在把東西送出去，把東西送出去有很多意思。

But in terms of secrets, if you give something away, you're giving enough of a hint that somebody can guess the rest of the secret and let something slip is very similar.

但就祕密而言，如果你給了一些東西，你就給了足夠的暗示，有人可以猜到祕密的其餘部分，讓一些東西溜走是非常相似的。

If you let a little piece of information just slip off your tongue, the person who hears it might be able to guess more information.

如果你讓一小段資訊就這樣從你的口中溜走，聽到的人可能會猜到更多資訊。

And the secret is no longer a secret.

而這個祕密已經不再是一個祕密了。

Right now again let's go talk about journalists or and talk about the media.

現在再讓我們去談談記者或和談談媒體。

If something leaks means that something is supposed to be private or supposed to be secret.

如果某件事情洩露了，意味著某件事情應該是私密的，或者應該是祕密的。

But somehow it it came out of the protected bubble.

但不知何故，它就從受保護的保麗龍中出來了。

It leaked out.

它漏了出來。

Got to the media and then became public knowledge, right?

傳到了媒體上，然後成為公眾知識，對嗎？

So that's more common and more more modern way of revealing a secret, give it to the media, let the media spread it out.

所以這是更常見、更現代的揭祕方式，把它交給媒體，讓媒體把它傳播出去。

If somebody cracks.

如果有人裂縫。

So for example, I have a secret and this person knows I have a secret and they keep pushing me and pushing me and pushing me and pushing me and finally I got crack I split into and the secret comes out and that person knows the secret as well.

是以，例如，我有一個祕密，而這個人知道我有一個祕密，他們不斷地推我，推我，推我，最後我得到了裂縫，我分裂成，祕密出來了，那個人也知道這個祕密。

Now there is something called an open secret.

現在有一種東西叫做公開的祕密。

This is especially used in business when a company is trying to keep a secret, they're gonna take over another company.

這在商業中尤其適用，當一家公司試圖保守祕密時，他們要接管另一家公司。

But everybody in the industry understands that this makes sense, and this is probably what they want and it's going to happen.

但行業中的每個人都明白，這是有意義的，這可能是他們想要的，它將會發生。

So it's a secret, but everybody knows about it.

所以這是一個祕密，但每個人都知道它。

So it's an open secret.

所以這是一個公開的祕密。

It's not really a secret, but the company is still pretending it's a secret.

這並不是一個真正的祕密，但該公司仍在假裝這是一個祕密。

Although everybody already knows about it.

雖然每個人都已經知道了這件事。

Now we have two expressions for people who share secrets.

現在，我們有兩種表達方式，用來形容分享祕密的人。

One is a whistleblower and the other is a snitch, technically these days, both are considered negative terms, a snitch is somebody who tells on another person who shares somebody's identity or shares a secret about somebody else.

一個是告密者，另一個是告密者，從技術上講，現在這兩個詞都被認為是負面的，告密者是指告發他人的人，他分享某人的身份或分享關於他人的祕密。

So like I said, like a rat snitch, but can also be a little bit more adult, Okay, rat, more criminal world snitch.

是以，就像我說的，像老鼠的告密者，但也可以是一個更多的成年人，好吧，老鼠，更多的犯罪世界告密者。

More kids and adults actually a whistleblower is a very special particular case.

更多的孩子和成年人實際上是一個非常特殊的特殊案例。

If I work in the company and I know that this company is doing illegal things and I go and I tell the media or I tell the police or I tell the government etcetera technically I'm doing something good because I'm telling the authorities that the company is doing something illegal.

如果我在公司工作，而我知道這家公司在做違法的事情，我去告訴媒體，或者告訴警察，或者告訴政府，等等，在技術上我是在做一件好事，因為我告訴當局，這家公司在做違法的事情。

But most people think of whistleblowers as snitches or rats and they get a lot of attacks in the media and everywhere else technically they're doing something good but people don't like people who give information who share secrets.

但大多數人認為告密者是告密者或老鼠，他們在媒體和其他地方受到很多攻擊，技術上他們在做一件好事，但人們不喜歡提供資訊的人，他們分享祕密。

So a very famous whistleblower is Edward Snowden.

是以，一個非常著名的告密者是愛德華-斯諾登。

I think everybody knows about him what he did with the S.

我想每個人都知道他對S所做的事情。

A.

A.

In the U.

在美國。

S.

S.

Again technically he's doing it to protect the people but people didn't look at him very well after that.

同樣從技術上講，他這樣做是為了保護人民，但之後人們對他的看法並不怎麼好。

Okay so if you have any secrets you'd like to share with us.

好的，所以如果你有任何祕密想和我們分享。

If you'd like to spill the beans please do so in the ink vid dot com comment section.

如果你想說出來，請在 ink vid dot com評論區說出來。

I'd love to hear your secrets.

我很想聽聽你的祕訣。

I'm sure there are very good secrets out there.

我相信那裡有非常好的祕訣。

But again if you're doing it properly then that secret is locked in the vault, that's never coming out.

但同樣，如果你做得很好，那麼這個祕密就被鎖在金庫裡，那是永遠不會出來的。

And that's the way it should be okay if you have any questions you can also ask me those in the comments section.

這就是它應該是好的方式，如果你有任何問題，你也可以在評論區問我。

There's a quiz that you can test your knowledge of these expressions and words.

有一個小測驗，你可以測試你對這些表達方式和單詞的知識。

If you like the video please give me a thumbs up and subscribe to my youtube channel and come back for more expressions grammar, all kinds of other things to help you learn, english.
