The cat is out of the bag
    Victor: Hi,大家好,我是Victor,
    Nancy: Nancy!
    Victor: 今天我們討論的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:這里的“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:這句話是說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:你告訴別人的秘密又傳到你耳朵里,就可以說“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!
